263.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
264.OP \-command command Command
265Specifies a Tcl command to associate with the button. This command
266is typically invoked when mouse button 1 is released over the button
267window. The button's global variable (\fB\-variable\fR option) will
268be updated before the command is invoked.
269.OP \-height height Height
270Specifies a desired height for the button.
271If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the button then the value is in
272screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR);
273for text it is in lines of text.
274If this option isn't specified, the button's desired height is computed
275from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.
276.OP \-indicatoron indicatorOn IndicatorOn
277Specifies whether or not the indicator should be drawn. Must be a
278proper boolean value. If false, the \fBrelief\fR option is
279ignored and the widget's relief is always sunken if the widget is
280selected and raised otherwise.
281.OP \-selectcolor selectColor Background
282Specifies a background color to use when the button is selected.
283If \fBindicatorOn\fR is true then the color applies to the indicator.
284Under Windows, this color is used as the background for the indicator
285regardless of the select state.
286If \fBindicatorOn\fR is false, this color is used as the background
287for the entire widget, in place of \fBbackground\fR or \fBactiveBackground\fR,
288whenever the widget is selected.
289If specified as an empty string then no special color is used for
290displaying when the widget is selected.
291.OP \-offrelief offRelief OffRelief
292.VS 8.4
293Specifies the relief for the checkbutton when the indicator is not drawn and
294the checkbutton is off. The default value is "raised". By setting this option
295to "flat" and setting -indicatoron to false and -overrelief to raised,
296the effect is achieved
297of having a flat button that raises on mouse-over and which is
298depressed when activated. This is the behavior typically exhibited by
299the Align-Left, Align-Right, and Center radiobuttons on the toolbar of a
300word-processor, for example.
301.VE 8.4
302.OP \-overrelief overRelief OverRelief
303.VS 8.4
304Specifies an alternative relief for the radiobutton, to be used when the
305mouse cursor is over the widget. This option can be used to make
306toolbar buttons, by configuring \fB\-relief flat \-overrelief
307raised\fR. If the value of this option is the empty string, then no
308alternative relief is used when the mouse cursor is over the radiobutton.
309The empty string is the default value.
310.VE 8.4
311.OP \-selectimage selectImage SelectImage
312Specifies an image to display (in place of the \fBimage\fR option)
313when the radiobutton is selected.
314This option is ignored unless the \fBimage\fR option has been
315specified.
316.OP \-state state State
317Specifies one of three states for the radiobutton: \fBnormal\fR, \fBactive\fR,
318or \fBdisabled\fR. In normal state the radiobutton is displayed using the
319\fBforeground\fR and \fBbackground\fR options. The active state is
320typically used when the pointer is over the radiobutton. In active state
321the radiobutton is displayed using the \fBactiveForeground\fR and
322\fBactiveBackground\fR options. Disabled state means that the radiobutton
323should be insensitive: the default bindings will refuse to activate
324the widget and will ignore mouse button presses.
325In this state the \fBdisabledForeground\fR and
326\fBbackground\fR options determine how the radiobutton is displayed.
327.OP \-value value Value
328Specifies value to store in the button's associated variable whenever
329this button is selected.
330.OP \-variable variable Variable
331Specifies name of global variable to set whenever this button is
332selected. Changes in this variable also cause the button to select
333or deselect itself.
334Defaults to the value \fBselectedButton\fR.
335.OP \-width width Width
336Specifies a desired width for the button.
337If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the button, the value is in
338screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR);
339for text it is in characters.
340If this option isn't specified, the button's desired width is computed
341from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.
342.BE
343
344.SH DESCRIPTION
345.PP
346The \fBradiobutton\fR command creates a new window (given by the
347\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a radiobutton widget.
348Additional
349options, described above, may be specified on the command line
350or in the option database
351to configure aspects of the radiobutton such as its colors, font,
352text, and initial relief. The \fBradiobutton\fR command returns its
353\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked,
354there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but
355\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist.
356.PP
357.VS
358A radiobutton is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap or image
359and a diamond or circle called an \fIindicator\fR.
360.VE
361If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it
362can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines
363or if wrapping occurs because of the \fBwrapLength\fR option) and
364one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the
365\fBunderline\fR option. A radiobutton has
366all of the behavior of a simple button: it can display itself in either
367of three different ways, according to the \fBstate\fR option;
368it can be made to appear
369raised, sunken, or flat; it can be made to flash; and it invokes
370a Tcl command whenever mouse button 1 is clicked over the
371check button.
372.PP
373In addition, radiobuttons can be \fIselected\fR.
374If a radiobutton is selected, the indicator is normally
375.VS
376drawn with a selected appearance, and
377a Tcl variable associated with the radiobutton is set to a particular
378value (normally 1).
379Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a sunken relief and a special
380color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn with a round mark inside.
381If the radiobutton is not selected, then the indicator is drawn with a
382deselected appearance, and the associated variable is
383set to a different value (typically 0).
384Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a raised relief and no special
385color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn without a round mark inside.
386.VE
387Typically, several radiobuttons share a single variable and the
388value of the variable indicates which radiobutton is to be selected.
389When a radiobutton is selected it sets the value of the variable to
390indicate that fact; each radiobutton also monitors the value of
391the variable and automatically selects and deselects itself when the
392variable's value changes.
393By default the variable \fBselectedButton\fR
394is used; its contents give the name of the button that is
395selected, or the empty string if no button associated with that
396variable is selected.
397The name of the variable for a radiobutton,
398plus the variable to be stored into it, may be modified with options
399on the command line or in the option database.
400Configuration options may also be used to modify the way the
401indicator is displayed (or whether it is displayed at all).
402By default a radiobutton is configured to select itself on button clicks.
403.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
404.PP
405The \fBradiobutton\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
406name is \fIpathName\fR. This
407command may be used to invoke various
408operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
409.CS
410\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
411.CE
412\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
413determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
414commands are possible for radiobutton widgets:
415.TP
416\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
417Returns the current value of the configuration option given
418by \fIoption\fR.
419\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBradiobutton\fR
420command.
421.TP
422\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
423Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
424If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
425the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
426information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
427with no \fIvalue\fR, the command returns a list describing the
428one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
429sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
430one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, the command
431modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
432this case the command returns an empty string.
433\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBradiobutton\fR
434command.
435.TP
436\fIpathName \fBdeselect\fR
437Deselects the radiobutton and sets the associated variable to an
438empty string.
439If this radiobutton was not currently selected, the command has
440no effect.
441.TP
442\fIpathName \fBflash\fR
443Flashes the radiobutton. This is accomplished by redisplaying the radiobutton
444several times, alternating between active and normal colors. At
445the end of the flash the radiobutton is left in the same normal/active
446state as when the command was invoked.
447This command is ignored if the radiobutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
448.TP
449\fIpathName \fBinvoke\fR
450Does just what would have happened if the user invoked the radiobutton
451with the mouse: selects the button and invokes
452its associated Tcl command, if there is one.
453The return value is the return value from the Tcl command, or an
454empty string if there is no command associated with the radiobutton.
455This command is ignored if the radiobutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
456.TP
457\fIpathName \fBselect\fR
458Selects the radiobutton and sets the associated variable to the
459value corresponding to this widget.
460.SH BINDINGS
461.PP
462Tk automatically creates class bindings for radiobuttons that give them
463the following default behavior:
464.IP [1]
465.VS
466On Unix systems, a radiobutton activates whenever the mouse passes
467over it and deactivates whenever the mouse leaves the radiobutton. On
468Mac and Windows systems, when mouse button 1 is pressed over a
469radiobutton, the button activates whenever the mouse pointer is inside
470the button, and deactivates whenever the mouse pointer leaves the
471button.
472.VE
473.IP [2]
474When mouse button 1 is pressed over a radiobutton it is invoked (it
475becomes selected and the command associated with the button is
476invoked, if there is one).
477.IP [3]
478When a radiobutton has the input focus, the space key causes the radiobutton
479to be invoked.
480.PP
481If the radiobutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR then none of the above
482actions occur: the radiobutton is completely non-responsive.
483.PP
484The behavior of radiobuttons can be changed by defining new bindings for
485individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings.
