Calling Sequence

Slider(rng, opts)

Parameters

rng

-

(optional) range(realcons); range of position values, defaults to 0..100

opts

-

(optional) ; one or more keyword options as described below

Options

• 

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.

Description

• 

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.

Examples

withDocumentTools:

withDocumentTools:-Components:

withDocumentTools:-Layout:

Executing the Slider command produces a function call.

SSlideridentity=Slider0

S_XML_EC-Sliderid=Slider0,lower-bound=0,upper-bound=100,control-position=0,major-tick-spacing=20,minor-ticks=10,orientation=false,show-labels=false,show-ticks=true,snap-to-ticks=false,continuous-update=false,inputenabled=true,fillcolor=[255,255,255],fontcolor=[0,0,0],filled=true,visible=true,pixel-width=190,pixel-height=38

(1)

By using commands from the DocumentTools:-Layout package a nested function call can be produced which represents a worksheet.

xmlWorksheetGroupInputTextfieldS:

That XML representation of a worksheet can be inserted directly.

InsertContentxml:

codestring\ns := true;\n\nt := false;

codestring s := true; t := false;

(2)

SSlider0...9.0,identity=Slider0,tooltip=My example Slider,showlabels,position=4.1,vertical,action=codestring:

xmlWorksheetGroupInputTextfieldS:

The previous example's call to the InsertContent command inserted a component with identity "Slider0", which still exists in this worksheet. Inserting additional content whose input contains another component with that same identity "Slider0" incurs a substitution of the input identity in order to avoid a conflict with the identity of the existing component.

The return value of the following call to InsertContent is a table which can be used to reference the substituted identity of the inserted component.

lookupInsertContentxml,output=table

lookuptableSlider0=Slider1

lookupSlider0

Slider1

(4)

GetPropertylookupSlider0,value

(5)

The width and height of a Slider can be specified, in pixels.

S1Slideridentity=Slider0,showlabels:S2Slideridentity=Slider1,showlabels,width=300:InsertContentWorksheetGroupInputTextfieldS1,GroupInputTextfieldS2:

The fill color and the font color of a Slider can be specified.

S1Slideridentity=Slider0,showlabels,vertical,fillcolor=LightBlue,fontcolor=DarkBlue:S2Slideridentity=Slider1,showlabels,vertical,height=300,fillcolor=LightBlue,fontcolor=DarkRed:InsertContentWorksheetTablewidth=200,widthmode=pixels,alignment=center,Column,RowCellTextfieldS1,S2,fillcolor=LightBlue:
