.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
|
||||
.OP \-bigincrement bigIncrement BigIncrement
|
||||
Some interactions with the scale cause its value to change by
|
||||
.QW large
|
||||
increments; this option specifies the size of the
|
||||
large increments. If specified as 0, the large increments default
|
||||
to 1/10 the range of the scale.
|
||||
.OP \-command command Command
|
||||
Specifies the prefix of a Tcl command to invoke whenever the scale's
|
||||
value is changed via a widget command.
|
||||
The actual command consists
|
||||
of this option followed by a space and a real number indicating the
|
||||
new value of the scale.
|
||||
.OP \-digits digits Digits
|
||||
An integer specifying how many significant digits should be retained
|
||||
when converting the value of the scale to a string.
|
||||
If the number is less than or equal to zero, then the scale picks
|
||||
the smallest value that guarantees that every possible slider
|
||||
position prints as a different string.
|
||||
.OP \-from from From
|
||||
A real value corresponding to the left or top end of the scale.
|
||||
.OP \-label label Label
|
||||
A string to display as a label for the scale. For
|
||||
vertical scales the label is displayed just to the right of the
|
||||
top end of the scale. For horizontal scales the label is displayed
|
||||
just above the left end of the scale. If the option is specified
|
||||
as an empty string, no label is displayed.
|
||||
.OP \-length length Length
|
||||
Specifies the desired long dimension of the scale in screen units
|
||||
(i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR).
|
||||
For vertical scales this is the scale's height; for horizontal scales
|
||||
it is the scale's width.
|
||||
.OP \-resolution resolution Resolution
|
||||
A real value specifying the resolution for the scale.
|
||||
If this value is greater than zero then the scale's value will always be
|
||||
rounded to an even multiple of this value, as will tick marks and
|
||||
the endpoints of the scale. If the value is less than zero then no
|
||||
rounding occurs. Defaults to 1 (i.e., the value will be integral).
|
||||
.OP \-showvalue showValue ShowValue
|
||||
Specifies a boolean value indicating whether or not the current
|
||||
value of the scale is to be displayed.
|
||||
.OP \-sliderlength sliderLength SliderLength
|
||||
Specifies the size of the slider, measured in screen units along the slider's
|
||||
long dimension. The value may be specified in any of the forms acceptable
|
||||
to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
|
||||
.OP \-sliderrelief sliderRelief SliderRelief
|
||||
Specifies the relief to use when drawing the slider, such as \fBraised\fR
|
||||
or \fBsunken\fR.
|
||||
.OP \-state state State
|
||||
Specifies one of three states for the scale: \fBnormal\fR,
|
||||
\fBactive\fR, or \fBdisabled\fR.
|
||||
If the scale is disabled then the value may not be changed and the scale
|
||||
will not activate.
|
||||
If the scale is active, the slider is displayed using the color
|
||||
specified by the \fB\-activebackground\fR option.
|
||||
.OP \-tickinterval tickInterval TickInterval
|
||||
Must be a real value.
|
||||
Determines the spacing between numerical
|
||||
tick marks displayed below or to the left of the slider.
|
||||
If 0, no tick marks will be displayed.
|
||||
.OP \-to to To
|
||||
Specifies a real value corresponding
|
||||
to the right or bottom end of the scale.
|
||||
This value may be either less than or greater than the \fB\-from\fR option.
|
||||
.OP \-variable variable Variable
|
||||
Specifies the name of a global variable to link to the scale. Whenever the
|
||||
value of the variable changes, the scale will update to reflect this
|
||||
value.
|
||||
Whenever the scale is manipulated interactively, the variable
|
||||
will be modified to reflect the scale's new value.
|
||||
.OP \-width width Width
|
||||
Specifies the desired narrow dimension of the trough in screen units
|
||||
(i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR).
|
||||
For vertical scales this is the trough's width; for horizontal scales
|
||||
this is the trough's height.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The \fBscale\fR command creates a new window (given by the
|
||||
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a scale widget.
|
||||
Additional
|
||||
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
||||
or in the option database
|
||||
to configure aspects of the scale such as its colors, orientation,
|
||||
and relief. The \fBscale\fR command returns its
|
||||
\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked,
|
||||
there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but
|
||||
\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
A scale is a widget that displays a rectangular \fItrough\fR and a
|
||||
small \fIslider\fR. The trough corresponds to a range
|
||||
of real values (determined by the \fB\-from\fR, \fB\-to\fR, and
|
||||
\fB\-resolution\fR options),
|
||||
and the position of the slider selects a particular real value.
|
||||
The slider's position (and hence the scale's value) may be adjusted
|
||||
with the mouse or keyboard as described in the \fBBINDINGS\fR
|
||||
section below. Whenever the scale's value is changed, a Tcl
|
||||
command is invoked (using the \fB\-command\fR option) to notify
|
||||
other interested widgets of the change.
|
||||
In addition, the value
|
||||
of the scale can be linked to a Tcl variable (using the \fB\-variable\fR
|
||||
option), so that changes in either are reflected in the other.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Three annotations may be displayed in a scale widget: a label
|
||||
appearing at the top right of the widget (top left for horizontal
|
||||
scales), a number displayed just to the left of the slider
|
||||
(just above the slider for horizontal scales), and a collection
|
||||
of numerical tick marks just to the left of the current value
|
||||
(just below the trough for horizontal scales). Each of these three
|
||||
annotations may be enabled or disabled using the
|
||||
configuration options.
|
||||
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The \fBscale\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
||||
name is \fIpathName\fR. This
|
||||
command may be used to invoke various
|
||||
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
||||
.CS
|
||||
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
||||
.CE
|
||||
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
||||
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
||||
commands are possible for scale widgets:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
||||
by \fIoption\fR.
|
||||
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBscale\fR
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
|
||||
.
|
||||
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
||||
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
||||
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
||||
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
||||
with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
||||
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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.
|
||||
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBscale\fR
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBcoords \fR?\fIvalue\fR?
|
||||
.
|
||||
Returns a list whose elements are the x and y coordinates of
|
||||
the point along the centerline of the trough that corresponds
|
||||
to \fIvalue\fR.
|
||||
If \fIvalue\fR is omitted then the scale's current value is used.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBget\fR ?\fIx y\fR?
|
||||
.
|
||||
If \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR are omitted, returns the current value
|
||||
of the scale. If \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR are specified, they give
|
||||
pixel coordinates within the widget; the command returns
|
||||
the scale value corresponding to the given pixel.
|
||||
Only one of \fIx\fR or \fIy\fR is used: for horizontal scales
|
||||
\fIy\fR is ignored, and for vertical scales \fIx\fR is ignored.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBidentify \fIx y\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
Returns a string indicating what part of the scale lies under
|
||||
the coordinates given by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR.
|
||||
A return value of \fBslider\fR means that the point is over
|
||||
the slider; \fBtrough1\fR means that the point is over the
|
||||
portion of the slider above or to the left of the slider;
|
||||
and \fBtrough2\fR means that the point is over the portion
|
||||
of the slider below or to the right of the slider.
|
||||
If the point is not over one of these elements, an empty string
|
||||
is returned.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBset \fIvalue\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
This command is invoked to change the current value of the scale,
|
||||
and hence the position at which the slider is displayed. \fIValue\fR
|
||||
gives the new value for the scale.
|
||||
The command has no effect if the scale is disabled.
|
||||
.SH BINDINGS
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Tk automatically creates class bindings for scales that give them
|
||||
the following default behavior.
|
||||
Where the behavior is different for vertical and horizontal scales,
|
||||
the horizontal behavior is described in parentheses.
|
||||
.IP [1]
|
||||
If button 1 is pressed in the trough, the scale's value will
|
||||
be incremented or decremented by the value of the \fB\-resolution\fR
|
||||
option so that the slider moves in the direction of the cursor.
|
||||
If the button is held down, the action auto-repeats.
|
||||
.IP [2]
|
||||
If button 1 is pressed over the slider, the slider can be dragged
|
||||
with the mouse.
|
||||
.IP [3]
|
||||
If button 1 is pressed in the trough with the Control key down,
|
||||
the slider moves all the way to the end of its range, in the
|
||||
direction towards the mouse cursor.
|
||||
.IP [4]
|
||||
If button 2 is pressed, the scale's value is set to the mouse
|
||||
position. If the mouse is dragged with button 2 down, the scale's
|
||||
value changes with the drag.
|
||||
.IP [5]
|
||||
The Up and Left keys move the slider up (left) by the value
|
||||
of the \fB\-resolution\fR option.
|
||||
.IP [6]
|
||||
The Down and Right keys move the slider down (right) by the value
|
||||
of the \fB\-resolution\fR option.
|
||||
.IP [7]
|
||||
Control-Up and Control-Left move the slider up (left) by the
|
||||
value of the \fB\-bigincrement\fR option.
|
||||
.IP [8]
|
||||
Control-Down and Control-Right move the slider down (right) by the
|
||||
value of the \fB\-bigincrement\fR option.
|
||||
.IP [9]
|
||||
Home moves the slider to the top (left) end of its range.
|
||||
.IP [10]
|
||||
End moves the slider to the bottom (right) end of its range.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
If the scale is disabled using the \fB\-state\fR option then
|
||||
none of the above bindings have any effect.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The behavior of scales can be changed by defining new bindings for
|
||||
individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings.
