Make a widget for a epoch entry

Synopsis
epoch(parent, value, default, options, allowunset, editable, hlp)

Description
Constructs a widget for the entry of measures epoch values.

The allowed formats for user input are:

• The current epoch may be selected using the Today button under the spanner/wrench.
• The name of Glish variable or function that evaluates to a measure.

The default initial reference code is 'UTC'. This may be changed using the options argument.

Note that changing the reference frame does not change the value in the entry box. Instead, it defines the frame with the currently specified value. If you wish to make a conversion, use the measures epoch gui.
