The Checkbutton Widget

Create a checkbutton with the Checkbutton command. A checkbutton has an indicator to the left of the label indicating whether the button is selected. The boolean status of the button (0, 1, or values as specified by the -onvalue and -offvalue options) is stored in the variable specified with the -variable option.
