class:JSlider [CHANGED]
All Implemented Interfaces:
ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible, SwingConstants 
@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 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.

    imageUpdate

    public boolean imageUpdate?(Image img, int infoflags, int x, int y, int w, int h)
    Repaints the component when the image has changed. This imageUpdate method of an ImageObserver is called when more information about an image which had been previously requested using an asynchronous routine such as the drawImage method of Graphics becomes available. See the definition of imageUpdate for more information on this method and its arguments.

    The imageUpdate method of Component incrementally draws an image on the component as more of the bits of the image are available.

    If the system property awt.image.incrementaldraw is missing or has the value true, 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.redrawrate is 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, and height arguments depends on the value of the infoflags argument.

    Specified by:
    imageUpdate in interface ImageObserver
    Overrides:
    imageUpdate in class Component
    Parameters:
    img - the image being observed
    infoflags - see imageUpdate for more information
    x - the x coordinate
    y - the y coordinate
    w - the width
    h - the height
    Returns:
    false if the infoflags indicate that the image is completely loaded; true otherwise.

    @BeanProperty(hidden=true, visualUpdate=true, description="Specifies what labels will be drawn for any given value.") 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
    See Also:
    createStandardLabels(int), getLabelTable(), setPaintLabels(boolean)

    method:updateLabelUIs() [NONE]

    updateLabelUIs

    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.
    See Also:
    setLabelTable(java.util.Dictionary), JComponent.updateUI()

    method:createStandardLabels(int) [NONE]

    createStandardLabels

    public Hashtable<Integer,?JComponent> createStandardLabels?(int increment)
    Creates a Hashtable of numerical text labels, starting at the slider minimum, and using the increment specified. For example, if you call createStandardLabels( 10 ) and the slider minimum is zero, then labels will be created for the values 0, 10, 20, 30, and so on.

    For the labels to be drawn on the slider, the returned Hashtable must be passed into setLabelTable, and setPaintLabels must be set to true.

    For further details on the makeup of the returned Hashtable, see the setLabelTable documentation.

    Parameters:
    increment - distance between labels in the generated hashtable
    Returns:
    a new Hashtable of labels
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if increment is less than or equal to zero
    See Also:
    setLabelTable(java.util.Dictionary), setPaintLabels(boolean)

    method:createStandardLabels(int,int) [NONE]

    createStandardLabels

    public Hashtable<Integer,?JComponent> createStandardLabels?(int increment, int start)
    Creates a Hashtable of numerical text labels, starting at the starting point specified, and using the increment specified. For example, if you call createStandardLabels( 10, 2 ) , then labels will be created for the values 2, 12, 22, 32, and so on.

    For the labels to be drawn on the slider, the returned Hashtable must be passed into setLabelTable, and setPaintLabels must be set to true.

    For further details on the makeup of the returned Hashtable, see the setLabelTable documentation.

    Parameters:
    increment - distance between labels in the generated hashtable
    start - value at which the labels will begin
    Returns:
    a new Hashtable of labels
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if start is out of range, or if increment is less than or equal to zero
    See Also:
    setLabelTable(java.util.Dictionary), setPaintLabels(boolean)

    method:getInverted() [NONE]

    getInverted

    public boolean getInverted()
    Returns true if the value-range shown for the slider is reversed,
    Returns:
    true if the slider values are reversed from their normal order
    See Also:
    setInverted(boolean)

    method:setInverted(boolean) [NONE]

    setInverted

    @BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true, description="If true reverses the slider values from their normal order") 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

    method:getMajorTickSpacing() [NONE]

    getMajorTickSpacing

    public 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
    See Also:
    setMajorTickSpacing(int)

    method:setMajorTickSpacing(int) [NONE]

    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, 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
    See Also:
    getMajorTickSpacing(), setPaintTicks(boolean), setLabelTable(java.util.Dictionary), createStandardLabels(int)

    method:getMinorTickSpacing() [NONE]

    getMinorTickSpacing

    public int getMinorTickSpacing()
    This method returns the minor tick spacing. The number that is returned 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.
    Returns:
    the number of values between minor ticks

    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.
