DESCRIPTION

       The spintime command creates a set of spinners for use in time value entry.  The set includes an hour, minute, and second spinner widget.

METHODS

       The spintime command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget.
       It has the following general form: pathName option ?arg arg ...?  Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The fol-
       lowing commands are possible for spintime widgets:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
       pathName cget option
	      Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option.  Option may have any of the values accepted by  the  spintime
	      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 spintime command.

       pathName get ?format?
	      Returns the current contents of the spintime widget in a format of string or as an integer clock value using the -string and -clicks
	      format  options respectively.  The default is by string.	Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining time and its
	      formats.

       pathName show time
	      Changes the currently displayed time to be that of the time argument.  The time may be specified either  as  a  string,  an  integer
	      clock value or the keyword "now".  Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining times and its format.
