public class JSlider

extends JComponent

implements SwingConstants, Accessible

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 them. The number of values between the tick marks is controlled with setMajorTickSpacing and setMinorTickSpacing.

For further information and examples see How to Use Sliders, a section in The Java Tutorial. For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JSlider key assignments.

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.
