10.7. Displaying Value Increments
The Scale displays its current
value above or to the left of itself (depending on the value
associated with -orient). Suppose you want to
display labels (such as 0, 10, 20, ... 100) that show the user
approximately where the button needs to be to select those values. If
you want to display them underneath or to the left of the Scale, you
can use the -tickinterval option. By default, it
is set to 0 and no numbers are displayed. To show the values every 10
numbers, use -tickinterval => 10. The larger
the range of values from which the Scale can select, the larger the
value this should be, or you'll end up with a bunch of numbers
so close together that you won't be able to tell what they are.
See Figure 10-4.
