	)

The constructor.

You can specify here the admitted values for the spinbox, a Variable object which will be updated when the state changes and a callback to associate to the choice event.

Parameters

parent	the widget parent
x,y,w,h,pad	see Placing the widgets
limits	the admitted values; here you can specify a list of strings a duple of int or float (the min and max) a triple of int or float (min, max and step)
variable	the StringVar object whose value is associated with the choosen item (numbers are converted into strings); if you leave None an internal StringVar is created
