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 menubutton.
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.
