Megawidget that provides support for a set of options, some of which can be incremented and decremented through, all of which can be accessed via a drop down menu, as well as an optional numeric value. The intent is to use the widget to provide a zoom control for axis scaling in plots. The drop down menu might be stocked with a set of pre-defined zoom settings and additional settings (e.g. Custom... or Auto).
The and buttons can step through a subset of the items in the drop down menu. An optional Min control allows users to specify a minimum value for the axis. This can be used if a signal is weakly varying along a high offset; Zoom and set the min value to something near that offset to allow you to view the varying part of the signal in more detail.
This widget is patterned after the zoom controls that appear in many program such as Adobe Acrobat™.
-menulist list of items
The set of items in the drop down menu is set to the list
items in the -menulist parameter.
The items have an index numbered from zero that reflects
their position in this list.
-zoomrange low high
Specifies the subset of menu items the
and buttons will step amongst.
The argument is a two element Tcl list that specifies,
in order, the first and last element indices of the set of
-menulist items eligible for this sort
of selection.
-currentContains/sets the text of the currently selected item. The value is not restricted to the set of values in the menu. If this is a zoom control, that fact can be used to implement custom zoom values that are not in the menu.
Changes to this option value, whether via configuration
by the application or user interface interactions will
dispatch the -command script.
-min
Contains/sets the minimum value. Changes to the value,
either from the application via a configure or from
the user interface, dispatch the -mincommand
script.
-enablemin on|offBoolean value. When true displays the min value setting. When false does not. This is useful for e,g, strip charts for which an x axis minimum value has very little meaning.
-command scriptSpecifies a script that is called when one of the following happens:
The button is clicked to advance the current menu selection
The button is clicked to go backwards in the zoom list from the current menu selection.
A selection is made from the drop down menu.
The -current is configured by
the application.
See the section SUBSTUTIONS below for the script substitutions that are supported.
-mincommand scriptSpecifies a script that is invoked when any of the following occurs:
The min control loses input focus.
The user uses the Return or Keypad Enter keys when focus is in the min control.
The -min option is configured.
See the section SUBSTITUTIONS below.
