SYNOPSIS
tk_optionMenu w varName value ?value value ...?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
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 cur‐
rent 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.
