DESCRIPTION
The iwidgets::watch command creates a watch with hour, minute, and sec-
ond hands modifying the time value.
METHODS
The iwidgets::watch 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
following commands are possible for watch 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 iwid-
gets::watch 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 avail-
able 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 iwidgets::watch command.
pathName get ?format?
Returns the current time of the watch 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 time and its format.
pathName watch ?args?
Evaluates the specifieds args against the canvas component.
COMPONENTS
Name: canvas
Class: Canvas
The canvas component is the where the clock is drawn. See the
Canvas widget manual entry for details.
