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  deter-
       mine the exact behavior of the command. The following com-
       mands 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  path-
              Name  (see  Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the
              format of this list).  If option is specified  with
              no  value, then the command returns a list describ-
              ing the one named option (this list will be identi-
              cal  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.
