<title>Calendar Dialog</title>
<p>
Use the <cmd>--calendar</cmd> option to create a calendar dialog. Zenity returns the selected date to standard output. If no date is specified on the command line, the dialog uses the current date.
</p>
<p>
The calendar dialog supports the following options:
</p>
<terms>
<item>
<title><cmd>--text</cmd>=<var>text</var></title>
<p>Specifies the text that is displayed in the calendar dialog.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><cmd>--day</cmd>=<var>day</var></title>
<p>Specifies the day that is selected in the calendar dialog. day must be a number between 1 and 31 inclusive.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><cmd>--month</cmd>=<var>month</var></title>
<p>Specifies the month that is selected in the calendar dialog. month must be a number between 1 and 12 inclusive.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><cmd>--year</cmd>=<var>year</var></title>
<p>Specifies the year that is selected in the calendar dialog.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><cmd>--date-format</cmd>=<var>format</var></title>
<p>Specifies the format that is returned from the calendar dialog after date selection. The default format depends on your locale. Format must be a format that is acceptable to the <cmd>strftime</cmd> function, for example <var>%A %d/%m/%y</var>.</p>
</item>
</terms>
<p>
The following example script shows how to create a calendar dialog:
</p>
<code>
#!/bin/sh
if zenity --calendar \
--title="Select a Date" \
--text="Click on a date to select that date." \
--day=10 --month=8 --year=2004
then echo $?
else echo "No date selected"
