<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
     The <STRONG>feedback</STRONG> command creates a feedback  widget  to  display
     feedback  on  the  current status of an ongoing operation to
     the user. Display is given as a percentage and as a thermom-
     eter type bar. Options exist for adding a label and control-
     ling its position.



</PRE>
<H2>METHODS</H2><PRE>
     The <STRONG>feedback</STRONG> command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
     <EM>pathName</EM>.  This command may be used to invoke various opera-
     tions on the widget.  It has the following general form:

          <EM>pathName</EM> <EM>option</EM> ?<EM>arg</EM> <EM>arg</EM> ...?

     <EM>Option</EM> and the <EM>arg</EM>s determine the exact behavior of the com-
     mand.   The following commands are possible for scrolledtext
     widgets:



</PRE>
<H2>WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS</H2><PRE>
     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>cget</STRONG> <EM>option</EM>
          Returns the current value of the  configuration  option
          given  by  <EM>option</EM>.   <EM>Option</EM>  may have any of the values
          accepted by the <STRONG>scrolledhtml</STRONG> command.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>configure</STRONG> ?<EM>option</EM>? ?<EM>value</EM> <EM>option</EM> <EM>value</EM> ...?
          Query  or  modify  the  configuration  options  of  the
          widget.   If  no  <EM>option</EM>  is  specified, returns a list
          describing all of the available  options  for  <EM>pathName</EM>
          (see  <STRONG>Tk_ConfigureInfo</STRONG> for information on the format of
          this list).  If <EM>option</EM> is specified with no <EM>value</EM>, then
          the  command  returns  a  list describing the one named
          option (this list will be identical to the  correspond-
          ing  sublist  of  the  value  returned  if no <EM>option</EM> is
          specified).  If one or more  <EM>option</EM> - <EM>value</EM>  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.  <EM>Option</EM> may have any
          of the values accepted by the <STRONG>feedback</STRONG> command.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>reset</STRONG>
          Reset status to 0%

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>step</STRONG> ?<EM>inc</EM>?
          Increase the current number of steps completed by  <EM>inc</EM>.
          <EM>Inc</EM> defaults to 1.

<H2>EXAMPLE</H2><PRE>
           feedback .fb -labeltext "Status" -steps 20
           pack .fb -padx 10 -pady 10 -fill both -expand yes

           for {set i 0} {$i &lt; 20} {incr i} {
               .fb step
               after 500
           }
