posed of an image and associated message text with commands to manipu‐
late the dialog buttons.

name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various opera‐
tions on the widget. It has the following general form: pathName
option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior
of the command. The following commands are possible for messagedialog
widgets:

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 avail‐
able options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
on the format of this list). 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. Option may have any
of the values accepted by the iwidgets::messagedialog command.
