>Progress bars are used to show the status of an operation. They are

pretty easy to use, as you will see with the code below. But first

lets start out with the calls to create a new progress bar.

>The first argument is the progress bar you wish to operate on, and the

second argument is the amount "completed", meaning the amount the

progress bar has been filled from 0-100%. This is passed to the

function as a real number ranging from 0 to 1.

>GTK v1.2 has added new functionality to the progress bar that enables

it to display its value in different ways, and to inform the user of

its current value and its range.

>As well as indicating the amount of progress that has occured, the

progress bar may be set to just indicate that there is some activity. 

This can be useful in situations where progress cannot be measured against 

a value range. The following function indicates that some progress has been 

made.
