DESCRIPTION

       The iwidgets::watch command creates a watch with hour, minute, and second hands  modifying
       the time value.

METHODS

       The iwidgets::watch command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command
       may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
       pathName  option  ?arg  arg  ...?  Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the
       command. The following commands are possible for watch widgets:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

       pathName cget option
              Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option.  Option  may
              have any of the values accepted by the iwidgets::watch 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  information  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 iwidgets::watch command.

       pathName get ?format?
              Returns  the current time of the watch in a format of string or as an integer clock
              value using the -string and -clicks format options respectively.  The default is by
              string.  Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining time and its
              formats.

       pathName show time
              Changes the currently displayed time to be that of the time argument.  The time may
              be  specified  either  as  a  string,  an integer clock value or the keyword "now".
              Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining time and its format.

       pathName watch ?args?
              Evaluates the specifieds args against the canvas component.

COMPONENTS

       Name:           canvas
       Class:          Canvas

              The canvas component is the where the clock is drawn.  See the Canvas widget manual
              entry for details.

       Name:           frame
       Class:          Frame

              The frame component is the where the "AM" and "PM" radiobuttons are displayed.  See
              the Frame widget manual entry for details.

       Name:           am
       Class:          Radiobutton

              The am component indicates whether on not the time is relative to  "AM".   See  the
              Radiobutton widget manual entry for details.

       Name:           pm
       Class:          Radiobutton

              The  pm  component  indicates whether on not the time is relative to "PM".  See the
              Radiobutton widget manual entry for details.

EXAMPLE

       package require Iwidgets 4.0 iwidgets::watch .w -state disabled -showampm  no  -width  155
       -height 155 pack .w -padx 10 -pady 10 -fill both -expand yes

       while {1} {
         after 1000
         .w show
         update }
