.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The controlwidget package focuses on the display and interactive control of numerical values\&.
It mimicks several of the meters and controls found in laboratory settings but also
daily life: volt meters, equalizers and tachometers to name a few\&. They can be seen as alternatives
for the \fIscale widget\fR\&.
.PP
\fINote:\fR The package has not sofar been tested extensively, and that may result in
an unexpected appearance if you use sizes that are different than the defaults\&. Also
not all options for the coloring of the various parts and fonts and so on have been tested, so that
may be another source of bugs\&.
.PP
A last note: some parts have not been included in any option, most notably the colors of
parts that require lighter and darker shades to cooperate\&.
.SH "TYPES OF WIDGETS"
The package distinguishes several typed of widgets:
.IP \(bu
Vertical meters: the value of the variable is translated into a vertical position, like with
the coloured bars you find on your stereo installation\&.
.IP \(bu
Angle displays: the value of the variable is related to the angle of a needle, like with tachometers\&.
.IP \(bu
Interactive widgets: most widgets allow you to change the value of the variable by pressing the mouse button
on the needle and shifting it up and down or left and right\&.
.IP \(bu
Non-interactive widgets: some widgets, like the thermometer widget, do not allow such interaction\&.
.IP \(bu
Logical or choice widgets: some widgets display the values as either on/off (or true/false) or as
one of a set of discrete choices\&.
.PP
All widgets have in common, however, that you can connect them to a variable and that changing the variable
changes the display\&. Forthermore, all widgets have the set and get methods to interact with the value that
the widget displays (whether that is stored in a global variable or not)\&.
.PP
They also have in common that their appearance and behaviour is determined by one or more options that
you can set at creation time and often later on as well\&. The widgets are all based on the \fIsnit\fR
package, so that the methods \fBconfigure\fR and \fBcget\fR are available to set and get these options\&.
.SH COMMANDS
