public class Slider
extends Control

The Slider Control is used to display a continuous or discrete range of valid numeric choices and allows the user to interact with the control. It is typically represented visually as having a "track" and a "knob" or "thumb" which is dragged within the track. The Slider can optionally show tick marks and labels indicating the different slider position values.

The three fundamental variables of the slider are min, max, and value. The value should always be a number within the range defined by min and max. min should always be less than or equal to max (although a slider who's min and max are equal is a degenerate case that makes no sense). min defaults to 0, whereas max defaults to 100.

This first example creates a slider who's range, or span, goes from 0 to 1, and who's value defaults to .5:

import javafx.scene.control.Slider;
 
 Slider slider = new Slider(0, 1, 0.5);

This next example shows a slider with customized tick marks and tick mark labels, which also spans from 0 to 1:

import javafx.scene.control.Slider;
 
 Slider slider = new Slider(0, 1, 0.5);
 slider.setShowTickMarks(true);
 slider.setShowTickLabels(true);
 slider.setMajorTickUnit(0.25f);
 slider.setBlockIncrement(0.1f);

Property Detail
- max
```
public final DoubleProperty maxProperty
```
  The maximum value represented by this Slider. This must be a value greater than min.
  
  See Also:
  
  getMax(), setMax(double)
- min
```
public final DoubleProperty minProperty
```
  The minimum value represented by this Slider. This must be a value less than max.
  
  See Also:
  
  getMin(), setMin(double)
- value
```
public final DoubleProperty valueProperty
```
  The current value represented by this Slider. This value must always be between min and max, inclusive. If it is ever out of bounds either due to min or max changing or due to itself being changed, then it will be clamped to always remain valid.
  
  See Also:
  
  getValue(), setValue(double)
- valueChanging
```
public final BooleanProperty valueChangingProperty
```
  When true, indicates the current value of this Slider is changing. It provides notification that the value is changing. Once the value is computed, it is reset back to false.
  
  See Also:
  
  isValueChanging(), setValueChanging(boolean)
- orientation
```
public final ObjectProperty<Orientation> orientationProperty
```
  The orientation of the Slider can either be horizontal or vertical.
  
  See Also:
  
  getOrientation(), setOrientation(Orientation)
- showTickLabels
```
public final BooleanProperty showTickLabelsProperty
```
  Indicates that the labels for tick marks should be shown. Typically a Skin implementation will only show labels if showTickMarks is also true.
  
  See Also:
  
  isShowTickLabels(), setShowTickLabels(boolean)

```
public final BooleanProperty showTickMarksProperty
```
  Specifies whether the Skin implementation should show tick marks.
  
  See Also:
  
  isShowTickMarks(), setShowTickMarks(boolean)
- majorTickUnit
```
public final DoubleProperty majorTickUnitProperty
```
  The unit distance between major tick marks. For example, if the min is 0 and the max is 100 and the majorTickUnit is 25, then there would be 5 tick marks: one at position 0, one at position 25, one at position 50, one at position 75, and a final one at position 100.
  This value should be positive and should be a value less than the span. Out of range values are essentially the same as disabling tick marks.

  getMajorTickUnit(), setMajorTickUnit(double)
- minorTickCount
```
public final IntegerProperty minorTickCountProperty
```

- snapToTicks
```
public final BooleanProperty snapToTicksProperty
```
  Indicates whether the value of the Slider should always be aligned with the tick marks. This is honored even if the tick marks are not shown.
  
  See Also:
  
  isSnapToTicks(), setSnapToTicks(boolean)
- labelFormatter
```
public final ObjectProperty<StringConverter<Double>> labelFormatterProperty
```
  A function for formatting the label for a major tick. The number representing the major tick will be passed to the function. If this function is not specified, then a default function will be used by the Skin implementation.
  
  See Also:
  
  getLabelFormatter(), setLabelFormatter(StringConverter)
- blockIncrement
```
public final DoubleProperty blockIncrementProperty
```
  The amount by which to adjust the slider if the track of the slider is clicked. This is used when manipulating the slider position using keys. If snapToTicks is true then the nearest tick mark to the adjusted value will be used.
  
  See Also:
  
  getBlockIncrement(), setBlockIncrement(double)

- adjustValue
```
public void adjustValue(double newValue)
```
  Adjusts value to match newValue. The valueis the actual amount between the min and max. This function also takes into account snapToTicks, which is the main difference between adjustValue and setValue. It also ensures that the value is some valid number between min and max.
- increment
```
public void increment()
```
  Increments the value by blockIncrement, bounded by max. If the max is less than or equal to the min, then this method does nothing.
- decrement
```
public void decrement()
```
  Decrements the value by blockIncrement, bounded by max. If the max is less than or equal to the min, then this method does nothing.
- createDefaultSkin
```
protected Skin<?> createDefaultSkin()
```
  Create a new instance of the default skin for this control. This is called to create a skin for the control if no skin is provided via CSS -fx-skin or set explicitly in a sub-class with setSkin(...).
