pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?

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. 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.

pathName itemconfigure index ?option? ?value option value ...?

This command is similar to the configure command, except that it applies to the options for an individual item, whereas configure applies to the options for the widget as a whole. Options may have any of the values accepted by the item creation 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 the item. Read-only options are not be modified.
