'\"
'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
'\" manual entries.
'\"
'\" .HS name section [date [version]]
'\"	Replacement for .TH in other man pages.  See below for valid
'\"	section names.
'\"
'\" .AP type name in/out [indent]
'\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
'\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
'\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
'\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
'\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
'\"
'\" .AS [type [name]]
'\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
'\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
'\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
'\"
'\" .BS
'\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
'\"	enclosed in one large box.
'\"
'\" .BE
'\"	End of box enclosure.
'\"
'\" .VS
'\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
'\"	of man pages.
'\"
'\" .VE
'\"	End of vertical sidebar.
'\"
'\" .DS
'\"	Begin an indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .DE
'\"	End of indented unfilled display.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP

The \fBiwidgets::spindate\fR command creates a set of spinners for use in date value
entry.  The set includes an month, day, and year spinner widget.

.SH "METHODS"
.PP
The \fBiwidgets::spindate\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is \fIpathName\fR. This
command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
.DS C
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.DE
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
commands are possible for spindate widgets:

.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS"
.TP
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
by \fIoption\fR.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::spindate\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list).  If \fIoption\fR is specified
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified).  If
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::spindate\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBget\fR ?\fBformat\fR?
Returns the current contents of the spindate widget in a format of 
string or as an integer clock value using the \fB-string\fR and \fB-clicks\fR
format options respectively.  The default is by string.  Reference the 
clock command for more information on obtaining dates and their 
formats.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBshow\fR \fIdate\fR
Changes the currently displayed date to be that of the date 
argument.  The date may be specified either as a string, an
integer clock value or the keyword "now".  Reference the clock 
command for more information on obtaining dates and their formats.
