+.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
+.OP \-orient orient Orient
+One of \fBhorizontal\fP or \fBvertical\fP.
+Specifies the orientation of the progress bar.
+.OP \-length length Length
+Specifies the length of the long axis of the progress bar
+(width if horizontal, height if vertical).
+.OP \-mode mode Mode
+One of \fBdeterminate\fP or \fBindeterminate\fP.
+.OP \-maximum maximum Maximum
+A floating point number specifying the maximum \fB-value\fR.
+Defaults to 100.
+.OP \-value value Value
+The current value of the progress bar.
+In \fIdeterminate\fR mode, this represents the amount of work completed.
+In \fIindeterminate\fR mode, it is interpreted modulo \fB-maximum\fP;
+that is, the progress bar completes one "cycle" when
+the \fB-value\fP increases by \fB-maximum\fP.
+.OP \-variable variable Variable
+The name of a Tcl variable which is linked to the \fB-value\fP.
+If specified, the \fB-value\fP of the progress bar is
+automatically set to the value of the variable whenever
+the latter is modified.
+.OP \-phase phase Phase
+Read-only option.
+The widget periodically increments the value of this option
+whenever the \fB-value\fP is greater than 0 and,
+in \fIdeterminate\fR mode, less than \fB-maximum\fR.
+This option may be used by the current theme
+to provide additional animation effects.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+A progress bar widget shows the status of a long-running operation.
+They can operate in two modes: \fIdeterminate\fP mode shows the
+amount completed relative to the total amount of work to be done,
+and \fIindeterminate\fR mode provides an animated display to
+let the user know that something is happening.

+Modify or query the widget state; see \fIwidget(n)\fP.
+.TP
+\fIpathName \fBstep\fR ?\fIamount\fR?
