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:








WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS



  

  
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
      option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
      iwidgets::watch command.

  

  
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.

  

  
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.

  

  
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.

  

  
Evaluates the specifieds args against the canvas component.
