NAME


tk_optionMenu - Create an option menubutton and its menu






SYNOPSIS


tk_optionMenu pathName varName value ?value value
    ...?








DESCRIPTION


This procedure creates an option menubutton whose name is
    pathName, plus an associated menu. Together they allow the user to
    select one of the values given by the value arguments. The current
    value will be stored in the global variable whose name is given by
    varName and it will also be displayed as the label in the option
    menubutton. The user can click on the menubutton to display a menu
    containing all of the values and thereby select a new value. Once a
    new value is selected, it will be stored in the variable and appear in the
    option menubutton. The current value can also be changed by setting the
    variable.


The return value from tk_optionMenu is the name of the menu
    associated with pathName, so that the caller can change its
    configuration options or manipulate it in other ways.
