Implemented Interfaces:: Accessible, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, SwingConstants

public class JSlider

extends JComponent

implements SwingConstants, Accessible, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable

A visual component that allows selection of a value within a range by adjusting a thumb in a track. The values for the minimum, maximum, extent and value are stored in a DefaultBoundedRangeModel.

A JSlider component has the following properties:

Property	Stored in	Bound?
extent	model	no
inverted	slider	yes
labelTable	slider	yes
majorTickSpacing	slider	yes
maximum	model	yes
minimum	model	yes
minorTickSpacing	slider	yes
model	slider	yes
orientation	slider	yes
paintLabels	slider	yes
paintTicks	slider	yes
snapToTicks	slider	yes
value	model	no
valueIsAdjusting	model	no

The various behavioural aspects of these properties follows:

When a non-bound property stored in the slider changes, the slider fires a ChangeEvent to its change listeners.
When a bound property stored in the slider changes, the slider fires a PropertyChangeEvent to its property change listeners.
If any of the model's properties change, it fires a ChangeEvent to its listeners, which include the slider.
If the slider receives a ChangeEvent from its model, it will propagate the event to its own change listeners, with the event's "source" property set to refer to the slider, rather than the model.
