NAME


tk_popup - Post a popup menu






SYNOPSIS


tk_popup menu x y ?entry?








DESCRIPTION


This procedure posts a menu at a given position on the screen and
    configures Tk so that the menu and its cascaded children can be traversed
    with the mouse or the keyboard. Menu is the name of a menu widget and
    x and y are the root coordinates at which to display the menu.
    If entry is omitted or an empty string, the menu's upper left corner
    is positioned at the given point. Otherwise entry gives the index of
    an entry in menu and the menu will be positioned so that the entry is
    positioned over the given point.






EXAMPLE
