SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     tk_optionMenu w varName value ?value value	...?

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This procedure creates an option menubutton whose name is w, 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 w, so	that the caller	can change its configuration options or
     manipulate	it in other ways.
