DESCRIPTION

       The tixMeter command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a Meter widget.  Additional options, described
       above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the Meter	widget	such  as  its  cursor  and
       relief.

       The Meter widget can be used to show the pregress of a background job which may take a long time to execute.

WIDGET COMMANDS

       The  tixMeter  command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the Meter widget's window.  This command may be
       used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
	      pathName option ?arg arg ...?
       PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the Meter widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of
       the command. The following commands are possible for Meter widgets:

       pathName cget option
	      Returns  the  current  value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixMeter
	      command.

       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
	      Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.	If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the  available
	      options  for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list).	If option is specified with no value, then
	      the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist  of	the  value
	      returned	if  no	option is specified).  If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget
	      option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string.  Option may have any of the values  accepted
	      by the tixMeter command.
