The Scale object is performing the call, hence it will be the Scale object that will call your maj function with a "nouvelleValeur" parameter.

When you write command=maj, you pass the function, but you don't call it. That's the purpose of a callback. You provide a function and it get called by the object you've been giving the function to. The Scale object should be documented and should provide with the callback signature.
