#  Implements a 'meter' megawidget.  A meter is a
#  box with a needle that goes up and down between
#  two possible limits.
#
# This is drawn in a canvas as follows:
#    +-------+
#    |       |
#    |  <----|
#    | ...
#    +-------+
#
#
# OPTIONS:
#    -from        - Value represented by the lower limit of the meter.  (dynamic)
#    -to          - Value represented by the upper limit of the meter.  (dynamic)
#    -height      - Height of the meter.                                (static)
#    -width       - Width of the meter.                                 (static)
#    -variable    - Variable the meter will track.                      (dynamic)
#    -majorticks  - Interval between major (labelled) ticks.            (dynamic)
#    -minorticks  - Number of minor ticks drawn between major ticks.    (dynamic)
#    -log         - True if should be log scale                         (dynamic).
#
# Methods:
#    set value    - Set the meter to a specific value 
#                   (if -variable is defined it is modified).
#    get          - Returns the current value of the meter.
