DESCRIPTION¶
The
iwidgets::watch command creates a watch with hour, minute, and second
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:
- pathName cget option
- Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
iwidgets::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 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 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.
Name: frame
Class: Frame
- The frame component is the where the "AM" and "PM"
radiobuttons are displayed. See the Frame widget manual entry for
details.
Name: am
Class: Radiobutton
- The am component indicates whether on not the time is relative to
"AM". See the Radiobutton widget manual entry for details.
Name: pm
Class: Radiobutton
- The pm component indicates whether on not the time is relative to
"PM". See the Radiobutton widget manual entry for details.
