The iwidgets::feedback command creates a widget to display
    feedback on the current status of an ongoing operation to the user. Display
    is given as a percentage and as a thermometer type bar. Options exist for
    adding a label and controlling its position.










The iwidgets::feedback command creates a new Tcl command
    whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various
    operations on the widget. It has the following general form:




pathName option ?arg arg ...?




Option and the args determine the exact behavior of
    the command. The following commands are possible for scrolledtext
  widgets:











  

  
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
      option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
      scrolledhtml command.

  

  
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
      option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
      options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
      on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
      value, 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 option is specified). If one or more
      option-value 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. Option may have any of the values
      accepted by the iwidgets::feedback command.

  

  
Reset the current number of steps completed to 0, and configures the
      percentage complete label text to 0%

  

  
Increase the current number of steps completed by the amount specified by
      inc. Inc defaults to 1.
