Methods
The iwidgets::radiobox 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: pathNameoption ?argarg...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.
Many of the widget commands for the radiobox take as one argument an indicator of which radiobutton of
the radiobox to operate on. These indicators are called indexes and allow reference and manipulation of
radiobuttons. Radiobox indexes may be specified in any of the following forms:
number Specifies the radiobutton numerically, where 0 corresponds to the top radiobutton of the
radiobox.
end Indicates the last radiobutton of the radiobox.
pattern If the index doesn't satisfy one of the above forms then this form is used. Pattern is
pattern-matched against the tag of each radiobutton in the radiobox, in order from top to
bottom, until a matching entry is found. The rules of Tcl_StringMatch are used.

Synopsis
iwidgets::radioboxpathName ?options?
Widget-Specific Methods
pathNameaddtag ?optionvalueoptionvalue?
Adds a new radiobutton to the radiobuttond window on the bottom. The command takes additional
options which are passed on to the radiobutton as construction arguments. These include the
standard Tk radiobutton options. The tag is returned.
pathNamebuttonconfigureindex ?options?
This command is similar to the configure command, except that it applies to the options for an
individual radiobutton, whereas configureapplies to the options for the radiobox as a whole.
Options may have any of the values accepted by the add widget command. If options are specified,
options are modified as indicated in the command and the command returns an empty string. If no
options are specified, returns a list describing the current options for entry index (see
Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list).
pathNamecgetoption
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the iwidgets::radiobox command.
pathNameconfigure ?option? ?valueoptionvalue...?
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::radiobox command.
pathNamedeleteindex
Deletes a specified radiobutton given an index.
pathNamedeselectindex
Deselects a specified radiobutton given an index.
pathNameflashindex
Flashes a specified radiobutton given an index.
pathNameget
Returns the tag of the currently selected radiobutton.
pathNameindexindex
Returns the numerical index corresponding to index.
pathNameinsertindextag ?optionvalueoptionvalue...?
Same as the add command except that it inserts the new radiobutton just before the one given by
index, instead of appending to the end of the radiobox. The option, and value arguments have the
same interpretation as for the add widget command.
pathNameselectindex
Selects a specified radiobutton given an index.
