action : string; A string which parses to one or more valid statements in 1-D Maple notation. These statements form the Value Changed Action Component Code that executes when the Slider position is manually adjusted.

continuous : truefalse; Indicates whether dragging of the sliding component will result in continuous updates using the action code.

enabled : truefalse; Indicates whether the component is enabled. The default is true. If enabled is false, then the inserted sliding component is grayed out and interaction with it cannot be initiated.

fillcolor : {list(nonnegint),symbol,string}:=[255,255,255] ; Specifies the background color of the component. The passed value can be either a named color or a list of three integers each between 0 and 255. A list of nonnegative integers is interpreted as RGB values in a 24bit 3-channel color space. The default value is [255,255,255] which corresponds to white.

fontcolor : {list(nonnegint),symbol,string}:=[0,0,0] ; Specifies the font color of the component. The passed value can be either a named color or a list of three integers each between 0 and 255. A list of nonnegative integers is interpreted as RGB values in a 24bit 3-channel color space. The default value is [0,0,0] which corresponds to black.

height : posint:=38 ; The height in pixels of the component.

identity : {name,string}; The reference name of the component.

majorticks : numeric; The interval between the major tickmarks on the sliding component. The default is .2 times the upper value of rng minus the lower value of rng.

minorticks : numeric; The interval between the minor tickmarks on the sliding component. The default is 1/2 majorticks.

position : numeric; The initial position of the sliding component. If not specified the value of the left end-point of the rng argument is used.

showlabels : truefalse; Indicates whether values are shown beside tickmarks. The default is true.

showticks : truefalse; Indicates whether tickmarks are shown. The default is true.

showtrack : truefalse; Indicates whether the sliding component's track is shown. The default value is true.

snaptoticks : truefalse; Indicates whether the sliding component will only take on values at major tickmarks. The default is false.

tooltip : string; The text that appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the component.

vertical : truefalse; Indicates whether the sliding component is oriented vertically. The default is false, with horizontal orientation.

visible : truefalse; Indicates whether the component is visible. The default is true.

width : posint:=190 ; The width in pixels of the component.

The Slider command in the Component Constructors package returns an XML function call which represents a Slider Component.

The generated XML can be used with the results of commands in the Layout Constructors package to create an entire Worksheet or Document in XML form. Such a representation of a Worksheet or Document can be inserted into the current document using the InsertContent command.
