<a name="Description-2"></a>
<h4 class="unnumberedsubsec">Description</h4>
<p>The <b>scale</b> command creates a new window (given by the
<i>pathName</i> 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 <b>scale</b> command returns its
<i>pathName</i> argument. At the time this command is invoked,
there must not exist a window named <i>pathName</i>, but
<i>pathName</i>’s parent must exist.
</p>
<p>A scale is a widget that displays a rectangular region and a
small <i>slider</i>. The rectangular region corresponds to a range
of integer values (determined by the <b>from</b><span class="roman"> and </span><b>to</b> options),
and the position of the slider selects a particular integer value.
The slider’s position (and hence the scale’s value) may be adjusted
by clicking or dragging with the mouse as described in the BINDINGS
section below. Whenever the scale’s value is changed, a Tcl
command is invoked (using the <b>command</b> option) to notify
other interested widgets of the change.
</p>
<p>Three annotations may be displayed in a scale widget: a label
appearing at the top-left of the widget (top-right for vertical
scales), a number displayed just underneath the slider
(just to the left of the slider for vertical scales), and a collection
of numerical tick-marks just underneath the current value (just to the left of
the current value for vertical scales). Each of these three
annotations may be selectively enabled or disabled using the
configuration options.
</p>
<a name="A-Scale_0027s_0022Argumentsommand_0022"></a>
<h4 class="unnumberedsubsec">A Scale’s"Argumentsommand"</h4>
<p>The <b>scale</b> command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is <i>pathName</i>. This
command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"><i>pathName option </i><span class="roman">?</span><i>arg arg ...</i>?
</pre></div>
<p><i>Option</i><span class="roman"> and the </span><i>arg</i>s
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
commands are possible for scale widgets:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><i>pathName </i><b>:configure</b><span class="roman"> ?</span><i>option</i><span class="roman">? ?</span><i>value option value ...</i>?</dt>
<dd><p>Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
If no <i>option</i> is specified, returns a list describing all of
the available options for <i>pathName</i><span class="roman"> (see </span><b>Tk_ConfigureInfo</b> for
information on the format of this list). If <i>option</i> is specified
with no <i>value</i>, 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 <i>option</i> is specified). If
one or more <i>option:value</i> 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.
<i>Option</i><span class="roman"> may have any of the values accepted by the </span><b>scale</b>
command.
</p></dd>
<dt><i>pathName </i><b>:get</b></dt>
<dd><p>Returns a decimal string giving the current value of the scale.
</p></dd>
<dt><i>pathName </i><b>:set</b><span class="roman"> </span><i>value</i></dt>
<dd><p>This command is invoked to change the current value of the scale,
and hence the position at which the slider is displayed. <i>Value</i>
gives the new value for the scale.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<a name="Bindings"></a>
<h4 class="unnumberedsubsec">Bindings</h4>
<p>When a new scale is created, it is given the following initial
behavior by default:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><b><Enter></b></dt>
<dd><p>Change the slider display to use <b>activeForeground</b> instead of
<b>sliderForeground</b>.
</p></dd>
<dt><b><Leave></b></dt>
<dd><p>Reset the slider display to use <b>sliderForeground</b> instead of
<b>activeForeground</b>.
</p></dd>
<dt><b><ButtonPress-1></b></dt>
<dd><p>Change the slider display so that the slider appears sunken rather
than raised. Move the slider (and adjust the scale’s value)
to correspond to the current mouse position.
</p></dd>
<dt><b><Button1-Motion></b></dt>
<dd><p>Move the slider (and adjust the scale’s value) to correspond to
the current mouse position.
</p></dd>
<dt><b><ButtonRelease-1></b></dt>
<dd><p>Reset the slider display so that the slider appears raised again.
