$Id: Slider.README,v 1.1 2000/01/11 19:43:38 falk Exp $ Slider 1.0 -- A widget which allows the user to specify a value. Slider is a widget similar to the Motif XmScale widget. It allows the user to specify an input value by moving a slider. Operation is very similar to a scrollbar, but the size of the thumb does not change, and the slider always operates over its full range. The key slider resources are: minimum value, maximum value, current value, step size, input scale and orientation. In addition, input scaling is available for very small sliders. This means that large cursor motions map to small changes in the slider. For example, theoretically that a slider with only one pixel of motion (or no pixels of motion for that matter) can still be controlled over its full range. Input scaling is normally performed automatically for sliders with less than 100 pixels of motion, with the scale factor set such that the range of cursor motion is 100 pixels. Callbacks are provided for continuous changes and operation complete. Scrollwheel mouse support is provided. Includes this handy utility module: Gcs.c -- utilities for creating shadow colors. To view the man page: tbl Slider.man | nroff -man HOW TO BUILD It should be sufficient to type xmkmf ; make This will build the widget and a demo program. Alternatively, Makefiles for Solaris, SunOS, Linux and others have been provided. To use; choose the Makefile closest to your own system, copy it to Makefile, modify it as needed and build.
