Description
|
|
•
|
The Slider window body element defines a slider in a Maplet application, which allows the user to select an integer between two points.
|
•
|
The Slider element features can be modified by using options. To simplify specifying options in the Maplets package, certain options and contents can be set without using an equation. The following table lists elements, symbols, and types (in the left column) and the corresponding option or content (in the right column) to which inputs of this type are, by default, assigned.

•
|
A Slider element can contain Action or command elements to specify the onchange option.
|
•
|
A Slider element can be contained in a Maplet or BoxLayout element, or Maplet element in a nested list representing a box layout.
|
•
|
The following table describes the control and use of the Slider element options.
|
|
An x in the I column indicates that the option can be initialized, that is, specified in the calling sequence (element definition).
|
|
An x in the R column indicates that the option is required in the calling sequence.
|
|
An x in the G column indicates that the option can be read, that is, retrieved by using the Get tool.

The opts argument can contain one or more of the following equations that set Maplet application options.
|
|
The color of the highlights of the slider. This can be a recognized color name, an RGB color structure, or a string of the form "#RRGGBB" where each pair is a two-digit hexadecimal number.
|
|
Whether a slider can be dragged. If enabled is set to false, the slider face is dimmed, and any action associated with it cannot be initiated. By default, the value is true.
|
|
Whether the slider track is shown. By default, the value is false.
|
|
The face color of the slider.
|
|
The lowest value on the slider. By default, the lowest value is 0.
|
|
How often the numbered tick marks occur, that is, the spacing between the numbered tick marks. By default, no major ticks appear.
|
|
How often the smaller unnumbered tick marks occur, that is, the spacing between the unnumbered tick marks. By default, no minor ticks appear.
|
|
onchange = Action or command element, or reference to an Action element (name or string)
|
|
The action that occurs each time the slider value changes while the slider is being moved.
|
|
orientation = vertical or horizontal
|
|
The slider orientation. By default, the orientation is horizontal.
|
|
reference = name or string
|
|
A reference for the Slider element.
|
|
If the reference is specified by both an index, for example, Slider[refID], and a reference in the calling sequence, the index reference takes precedence.
|
|
showlabels = true or false
|
|
Whether majorticks labels appear on the slider. By default, the value is true.
|
|
showticks = true or false
|
|
Whether ticks appear on the slider. By default, the value is true.
|
|
snapticks = true or false
|
|
Whether the slider should snap to the closest tick mark upon release of the mouse. By default, the value is true.
|
|
tooltip = string or symbol
|
|
The text that appears in the tooltip window.
|
|
The greatest value on the slider. By default, the upper value is 10.
|
|
The slider default value. By default, the slider value is 0.
|
|
Whether the slider is visible to the user. By default, the value is true.
