The obstcl Object class

You don't have to inherit from the Object class when you write an obstcl object, but it's probably safest. It will provide your class with the methods cget, configure, and super, and a default constructor/destructor pair.

object cget option

Return the value of the given option, or throw an error if the option is not defined.

object configure ?option? ?value option value... ?

With no arguments, return a list of three-lists, where each three-list is the option name, default value, and current value. With one argument, return a list of three elements containing the option name, default value, and current value. With more arguments, set each option to the given value.

object super method ?arg arg...?

Call the given method in a superclass of the current class. (Unfortunately, I could figure out no way to avoid having to provide the method argument.)
