tk_optionMenu(n)	     Tk Built-In Commands	      tk_optionMenu(n)

______________________________________________________________________________

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.
