Specifies the amount of space to be allocated to the indentation of the
default ring ring given in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTcl_GetPixels\fR.
The option has no effect if the defaultring option is set to false.  The 
default is 2 pixels.

.IP
Specifies the height of the button inclusive of any default ring given in
any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.  A value of zero lets 
the push button determine the height based on the requested height plus 
highlightring and defaultringpad.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBiwidgets::pushbutton\fR command creates a push button with an 
optional default ring used for default designation and traversal.

.SH "METHODS"
.PP
The \fBiwidgets::pushbutton\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is \fIpathName\fR.  This
command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget.  It has the following general form:
.DS C
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.DE
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following
commands are possible for pushbutton widgets:

.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS"
.TP
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
by \fIoption\fR.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::pushbutton\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list).  If \fIoption\fR is specified
with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified).  If
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::pushbutton\fR
command.
