Class Overview

A component that lets the user graphically select a value by sliding a knob within a bounded interval.

The slider can show both major tick marks, and minor tick marks between the major ones. The number of values between the tick marks is controlled with setMajorTickSpacing and setMinorTickSpacing. Painting of tick marks is controlled by setPaintTicks.

Sliders can also print text labels at regular intervals (or at arbitrary locations) along the slider track. Painting of labels is controlled by setLabelTable and setPaintLabels.

For further information and examples see How to Use Sliders, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Fields
protected ChangeEvent	changeEvent	Only one `ChangeEvent` is needed per slider instance since the event's only (read-only) state is the source property.
protected ChangeListener	changeListener	The changeListener (no suffix) is the listener we add to the slider's model.
protected int	majorTickSpacing	The number of values between the major tick marks -- the larger marks that break up the minor tick marks.
protected int	minorTickSpacing	The number of values between the minor tick marks -- the smaller marks that occur between the major tick marks.
protected int	orientation	Whether the slider is horizontal or vertical The default is horizontal.
protected BoundedRangeModel	sliderModel	The data model that handles the numeric maximum value, minimum value, and current-position value for the slider.
protected boolean	snapToTicks	If true, the knob (and the data value it represents) resolve to the closest tick mark next to where the user positioned the knob.

protected int majorTickSpacing

The number of values between the major tick marks -- the larger marks that break up the minor tick marks.

protected int minorTickSpacing

The number of values between the minor tick marks -- the smaller marks that occur between the major tick marks.

protected int orientation

Whether the slider is horizontal or vertical The default is horizontal.

protected BoundedRangeModel sliderModel

The data model that handles the numeric maximum value, minimum value, and current-position value for the slider.

protected boolean snapToTicks

If true, the knob (and the data value it represents) resolve to the closest tick mark next to where the user positioned the knob. The default is false.

Parameters

extent	the new extent

public void setFont (Font font)

Sets the font for this component.

Parameters

font	the desired `Font` for this component

public void setInverted (boolean b)

Specify true to reverse the value-range shown for the slider and false to put the value range in the normal order. The order depends on the slider's ComponentOrientation property. Normal (non-inverted) horizontal sliders with a ComponentOrientation value of LEFT_TO_RIGHT have their maximum on the right. Normal horizontal sliders with a ComponentOrientation value of RIGHT_TO_LEFT have their maximum on the left. Normal vertical sliders have their maximum on the top. These labels are reversed when the slider is inverted.

By default, the value of this property is false.

Parameters

b	true to reverse the slider values from their normal order

public void setLabelTable (Dictionary labels)

Used to specify what label will be drawn at any given value. The key-value pairs are of this format: { Integer value, java.swing.JComponent label }.

An easy way to generate a standard table of value labels is by using the createStandardLabels method.

Once the labels have been set, this method calls updateLabelUIs(). Note that the labels are only painted if the paintLabels property is true.

Parameters

labels	new `Dictionary` of labels, or `null` to remove all labels

public void setMajorTickSpacing (int n)

This method sets the major tick spacing. The number that is passed in represents the distance, measured in values, between each major tick mark. If you have a slider with a range from 0 to 50 and the major tick spacing is set to 10, you will get major ticks next to the following values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

In order for major ticks to be painted, setPaintTicks must be set to true.

This method will also set up a label table for you. If there is not already a label table, and the major tick spacing is > 0, and getPaintLabels returns true, a standard label table will be generated (by calling createStandardLabels) with labels at the major tick marks. For the example above, you would get text labels: "0", "10", "20", "30", "40", "50". The label table is then set on the slider by calling setLabelTable.

Parameters

n	new value for the `majorTickSpacing` property

public void setMaximum (int maximum)

Sets the slider's maximum value to maximum. This method forwards the new maximum value to the model.

The data model (an instance of BoundedRangeModel) handles any mathematical issues arising from assigning faulty values. See the BoundedRangeModel documentation for details.

If the new maximum value is different from the previous maximum value, all change listeners are notified.

Parameters

maximum	the new maximum

public void setMinimum (int minimum)

Sets the slider's minimum value to minimum. This method forwards the new minimum value to the model.

The data model (an instance of BoundedRangeModel) handles any mathematical issues arising from assigning faulty values. See the BoundedRangeModel documentation for details.

If the new minimum value is different from the previous minimum value, all change listeners are notified.

Parameters

minimum	the new minimum

public void setMinorTickSpacing (int n)

This method sets the minor tick spacing. The number that is passed in represents the distance, measured in values, between each minor tick mark. If you have a slider with a range from 0 to 50 and the minor tick spacing is set to 10, you will get minor ticks next to the following values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

In order for minor ticks to be painted, setPaintTicks must be set to true.

Parameters

n	new value for the `minorTickSpacing` property

public void setModel (BoundedRangeModel newModel)

Sets the BoundedRangeModel that handles the slider's three fundamental properties: minimum, maximum, value.

Attempts to pass a null model to this method result in undefined behavior, and, most likely, exceptions.

Parameters

newModel	the new, `non-null` `BoundedRangeModel` to use

public void setOrientation (int orientation)

Set the slider's orientation to either SwingConstants.VERTICAL or SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL.

Parameters

orientation	`HORIZONTAL` or `VERTICAL`

Throws

IllegalArgumentException	if orientation is not one of `VERTICAL`, `HORIZONTAL`

public void setPaintLabels (boolean b)

Determines whether labels are painted on the slider.

This method will also set up a label table for you. If there is not already a label table, and the major tick spacing is > 0, a standard label table will be generated (by calling createStandardLabels) with labels at the major tick marks. The label table is then set on the slider by calling setLabelTable.

By default, this property is false.

Parameters

b	whether or not to paint labels

public void setPaintTicks (boolean b)

Determines whether tick marks are painted on the slider. By default, this property is false.

Parameters

b	whether or not tick marks should be painted

public void setPaintTrack (boolean b)

Determines whether the track is painted on the slider. By default, this property is true.

Parameters

b	whether or not to paint the slider track

public void setSnapToTicks (boolean b)

Specifying true makes the knob (and the data value it represents) resolve to the closest tick mark next to where the user positioned the knob. By default, this property is false.

Parameters

b	true to snap the knob to the nearest tick mark

public void setUI (SliderUI ui)

Sets the UI object which implements the L&F for this component.

Parameters

ui	the SliderUI L&F object

public void setValue (int n)

Sets the slider's current value to n. This method forwards the new value to the model.

The data model (an instance of BoundedRangeModel) handles any mathematical issues arising from assigning faulty values. See the BoundedRangeModel documentation for details.

If the new value is different from the previous value, all change listeners are notified.

Parameters

n	the new value

public void setValueIsAdjusting (boolean b)

Sets the model's valueIsAdjusting property. Slider look and feel implementations should set this property to true when a knob drag begins, and to false when the drag ends. The slider model will not generate ChangeEvents while valueIsAdjusting is true.

Parameters

b	the new value for the `valueIsAdjusting` property

public void updateUI ()

Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and feel.

Protected Methods

protected ChangeListener createChangeListener ()

Subclasses that want to handle ChangeEvents from the model differently can override this to return an instance of a custom ChangeListener implementation. The default ChangeListener simply calls the fireStateChanged method to forward ChangeEvents to the ChangeListeners that have been added directly to the slider.

protected void fireStateChanged ()

Send a ChangeEvent, whose source is this JSlider, to all ChangeListeners that have registered interest in ChangeEvents. This method is called each time a ChangeEvent is received from the model.

The event instance is created if necessary, and stored in changeEvent.

protected String paramString ()

Returns a string representation of this JSlider. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Returns

a string representation of this JSlider.

protected void updateLabelUIs ()

Updates the UIs for the labels in the label table by calling updateUI on each label. The UIs are updated from the current look and feel. The labels are also set to their preferred size.
