DESCRIPTION
       The  tixMeter command creates a new window (given by the pathName argu-
       ment) 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 tixMe-
              ter 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 infor-
              mation 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.
