The Radiobutton Widget

Create a radiobutton with the Radiobutton method. A radiobutton has an indicator to the left of the label indicating whether the button is selected. It differs from a checkbutton in that only one button may be selected at the same time. Each button in a group of radiobuttons uses the same variable specified with the -variable option; when selected, the button assigns that variable the value specified by the -value option.
