NAME

       tk_optionMenu - Create an option menubutton and its menu

SYNOPSIS

       tk_optionMenu pathName varName value ?value value ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This procedure creates an option menubutton whose name is pathName, plus an associated menu.  Together they allow the user to select one of
       the values given by the value arguments.  The current value will be stored in the global variable whose name is given  by  varName  and	it
       will also be displayed as the label in the option menubutton.  The user can click on the menubutton to display a menu containing all of the
       values and thereby select a new value.  Once a new value is selected, it will be stored in the variable and appear in the  option  menubut-
       ton.  The current value can also be changed by setting the variable.

       The  return  value  from  tk_optionMenu	is  the name of the menu associated with pathName, so that the caller can change its configuration
       options or manipulate it in other ways.

NAME

       tk_popup - Post a popup menu

SYNOPSIS

       tk_popup menu x y ?entry?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This procedure posts a menu at a given position on the screen and configures Tk so that the menu and its cascaded children can be traversed
       with the mouse or the keyboard.	Menu is the name of a menu widget and x and y are the root coordinates at which to display the	menu.	If
       entry  is omitted or an empty string, the menu's upper left corner is positioned at the given point.  Otherwise entry gives the index of an
       entry in menu and the menu will be positioned so that the entry is positioned over the given point.

EXAMPLE

       How to attach a simple popup menu to a widget.
	      # Create a menu
	      set m [menu .popupMenu]
	      $m add command -label "Example 1" -command bell
	      $m add command -label "Example 2" -command bell

	      # Create something to attach it to
	      pack [label .l -text "Click me!"]

	      # Arrange for the menu to pop up when the label is clicked
	      bind .l <1> {tk_popup .popupMenu %X %Y}
