 @JavaBean(defaultProperty="UI", description="A component that supports selecting a integer value from a range.") 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 knob is always positioned at the points that match integer values within the specified 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 setMajorTickSpacingandsetMinorTickSpacing. Painting of tick marks is controlled bysetPaintTicks.Sliders can also print text labels at regular intervals (or at arbitrary locations) along the slider track. Painting of labels is controlled by setLabelTableandsetPaintLabels.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™ has been added to the java.beanspackage. Please seeXMLEncoder.- Since:

imageUpdatepublic boolean imageUpdate(Image img, int infoflags, int x, int y, int w, int h) Repaints the component when the image has changed. ThisimageUpdatemethod of anImageObserveris called when more information about an image which had been previously requested using an asynchronous routine such as thedrawImagemethod ofGraphicsbecomes available. See the definition ofimageUpdatefor more information on this method and its arguments.The imageUpdatemethod ofComponentincrementally draws an image on the component as more of the bits of the image are available.If the system property awt.image.incrementaldrawis missing or has the valuetrue, the image is incrementally drawn. If the system property has any other value, then the image is not drawn until it has been completely loaded.Also, if incremental drawing is in effect, the value of the system property awt.image.redrawrateis interpreted as an integer to give the maximum redraw rate, in milliseconds. If the system property is missing or cannot be interpreted as an integer, the redraw rate is once every 100ms.The interpretation of the x,y,width, andheightarguments depends on the value of theinfoflagsargument.- Specified by:

getMajorTickSpacingpublic int getMajorTickSpacing() This method returns the major tick spacing. The number that is returned 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.- Returns:
- the number of values between major ticks

setMajorTickSpacing@BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true, description="Sets the number of values between major tick marks.") 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, setPaintTicksmust be set totrue.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, andgetPaintLabelsreturnstrue, a standard label table will be generated (by callingcreateStandardLabels) 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 callingsetLabelTable.- Parameters:
