WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
       Command-Line Name:-bigincrement
       Database Name:  bigIncrement
       Database Class: BigIncrement

              Some  interactions  with  the scale cause its value to change by
              ``large'' increments;  this option specifies  the  size  of  the
              large  increments.   If  specified  as  0,  the large increments
              default to 1/10 the range of the scale.

       Command-Line Name:-command
       Database Name:  command
       Database Class: Command

              Specifies the prefix of a Tcl command  to  invoke  whenever  the
              scale's  value is changed via a widget command.  The actual com-
              mand consists of this option followed by a space and a real num-
              ber indicating the new value of the scale.

       Command-Line Name:-digits
       Database Name:  digits
       Database Class: Digits

              An  integer  specifying  how  many  significant digits should be
              retained when converting the value of the scale to a string.  If
              the  number  is less than or equal to zero, then the scale picks
              the smallest value that guarantees that  every  possible  slider
              position prints as a different string.

       Command-Line Name:-from
       Database Name:  from
       Database Class: From

              A  real value corresponding to the left or top end of the scale.

       Command-Line Name:-label
       Database Name:  label
       Database Class: Label

              A string to display as a label  for  the  scale.   For  vertical
              scales  the  label is displayed just to the right of the top end
              of the scale.  For horizontal scales the label is displayed just
              above  the left end of the scale.  If the option is specified as
              an empty string, no label is displayed.

       Command-Line Name:-length
       Database Name:  length
       Database Class: Length

              Specifies the desired long dimension  of  the  scale  in  screen
              units  (i.e.  any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels).  For
              vertical scales this is  the  scale's  height;   for  horizontal
              scales it is the scale's width.

       Command-Line Name:-resolution
       Database Name:  resolution
       Database Class: Resolution

              A  real  value specifying the resolution for the scale.  If this
              value is greater than zero then the scale's value will always be
              rounded  to  an  even multiple of this value, as will tick marks
              and the endpoints of the scale.  If the value is less than  zero
              then no rounding occurs.  Defaults to 1 (i.e., the value will be
              integral).

       Command-Line Name:-showvalue
       Database Name:  showValue
       Database Class: ShowValue

              Specifies a boolean value indicating whether or not the  current
              value of the scale is to be displayed.

       Command-Line Name:-sliderlength
       Database Name:  sliderLength
       Database Class: SliderLength

              Specfies  the size of the slider, measured in screen units along
              the slider's long dimension.  The value may be specified in  any
              of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels.

       Command-Line Name:-sliderrelief
       Database Name:  sliderRelief
       Database Class: SliderRelief

              Specifies  the  relief  to  use when drawing the slider, such as
              raised or sunken.

       Command-Line Name:-state
       Database Name:  state
       Database Class: State

              Specifies one of three states for the scale:  normal, active, or
              disabled.   If  the  scale is disabled then the value may not be
              changed and the scale won't activate.  If the scale  is  active,
              the slider is displayed using the color specified by the active-
              Background option.

       Command-Line Name:-tickinterval
       Database
