Slider Widget

This article walks through how to make use of the custom slider widget.

Overview

By downloading the custom slider overview app, you will also receive the slider as a custom widget

The slider widget has the following parameters

• Value - this is the writeable parameter used to store the slider value (as a variable)
• Min - this adjusts the min value for the slider
• Max - this adjusts the max value for the slider
• Step - this adjusts the step size for the slider
• Font size - this adjusts the font size showing the current slider value (in pt)

Usage Examples

Using a slider instead of a numeric input could be great for the following applications:

• What-if analysis for a process with several inputs
• Creating a cleaner interface for recipe inputs
• When the app user needs a relative input that does not need to be exact

Defaults

If no values are set for min, max, step, and font size, the following defaults are used:

• Min: 0
• Max: 100
• Step: 1
• Font Size: 16pt
