Slider Control

Overview

Slider Control

Discussion

The Slider Inspector Control provides a means of adjusting a value over a range by dragging the slider up or down with the mouse or the mouse wheel.

The mapping property can be used to map slider value to module variable directly (linear), or by converting with db20 or undb20 functions. The range of the slider can be set using the min and max properties.

The modVar property must be set to point to a module variable. See the ParamSet module for more detail on modVar formatting.
