SUPER-CLASS
       None.

DESCRIPTION

       The tixMeter command creates a new window (given by the pathName
       argument) and makes it into a Meter widget.  Additional options,
       described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
       database to configure aspects of the Meter widget such as its cursor
       and relief.

       The Meter widget can be used to show the pregress of a background job
       which may take a long time to execute.


WIDGET COMMANDS

       The tixMeter command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same
       as the path name of the Meter widget's window.  This command may be
       used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following
       general form:
              pathName option ?arg arg ...?
       PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the Meter
       widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of
       the command. The following commands are possible for Meter 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
              tixMeter 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
              tixMeter command.
