    public class Slider
    extends Control

The Slider Control is used to display a continuous or discrete range of valid numeric choices and allows the user to interact with the control. It is typically represented visually as having a "track" and a "knob" or "thumb" which is dragged within the track. The Slider can optionally show tick marks and labels indicating the different slider position values.

The three fundamental variables of the slider are `min`, `max`, and `value`. The `value` should always be a number within the range defined by `min` and `max`. `min` should always be less than or equal to `max` (although a slider whose `min` and `max` are equal is a degenerate case that makes no sense). `min` defaults to 0, whereas `max` defaults to 100.

This first example creates a slider whose range, or span, goes from 0 to 1, and whose value defaults to .5:

     Slider slider = new Slider(0, 1, 0.5);

This next example shows a slider with customized tick marks and tick mark labels, which also spans from 0 to 1:

     Slider slider = new Slider(0, 1, 0.5);
     slider.setShowTickMarks(true);
     slider.setShowTickLabels(true);
     slider.setMajorTickUnit(0.25f);
     slider.setBlockIncrement(0.1f);

- ## Property Details

  - ### max

    public final DoubleProperty maxProperty
    The maximum value represented by this Slider. This must be a value greater than `min`.
    See Also:
      `getMax()`, `setMax(double)`

  - ### min

    public final DoubleProperty minProperty
    The minimum value represented by this Slider. This must be a value less than `max`.
    See Also:
      `getMin()`, `setMin(double)`

  - ### value

    public final DoubleProperty valueProperty
    The current value represented by this Slider. This value must always be between `min` and `max`, inclusive. If it is ever out of bounds either due to `min` or `max` changing or due to itself being changed, then it will be clamped to always remain valid.
    See Also:
      `getValue()`, `setValue(double)`

  - ### valueChanging

    public final BooleanProperty valueChangingProperty
    When true, indicates the current value of this Slider is changing. It provides notification that the value is changing. Once the value is computed, it is reset back to false.
    See Also:
      `isValueChanging()`, `setValueChanging(boolean)`

  - ### orientation

    public final ObjectProperty<Orientation> orientationProperty
    The orientation of the `Slider` can either be horizontal or vertical.
    See Also:
      `getOrientation()`, `setOrientation(Orientation)`

  - ### showTickLabels

    public final BooleanProperty showTickLabelsProperty

  - ### showTickMarks

    public final BooleanProperty showTickMarksProperty
    Specifies whether the `Skin` implementation should show tick marks.
    See Also:
      `isShowTickMarks()`, `setShowTickMarks(boolean)`

  - ### majorTickUnit

    public final DoubleProperty majorTickUnitProperty
    The unit distance between major tick marks. For example, if the `min` is 0 and the `max` is 100 and the `majorTickUnit` is 25, then there would be 5 tick marks: one at position 0, one at position 25, one at position 50, one at position 75, and a final one at position 100.

    This value should be positive and should be a value less than the span. Out of range values are essentially the same as disabling tick marks.

    See Also:
      `getMajorTickUnit()`, `setMajorTickUnit(double)`

  - ### minorTickCount

    public final IntegerProperty minorTickCountProperty
    The number of minor ticks to place between any two major ticks. This number should be positive or zero. Out of range values will disable disable minor ticks, as will a value of zero.
    See Also:
      `getMinorTickCount()`, `setMinorTickCount(int)`

  - ### snapToTicks

    public final BooleanProperty snapToTicksProperty
    Indicates whether the `value` of the `Slider` should always be aligned with the tick marks. This is honored even if the tick marks are not shown.
    See Also:
      `isSnapToTicks()`, `setSnapToTicks(boolean)`

  - ### labelFormatter

    public final ObjectProperty<StringConverter<Double>> labelFormatterProperty
    A function for formatting the label for a major tick. The number representing the major tick will be passed to the function. If this function is not specified, then a default function will be used by the `Skin` implementation.
    See Also:
      `getLabelFormatter()`, `setLabelFormatter(StringConverter)`

  - ### blockIncrement

    public final DoubleProperty blockIncrementProperty
    The amount by which to adjust the slider if the track of the slider is clicked. This is used when manipulating the slider position using keys. If `snapToTicks` is true then the nearest tick mark to the adjusted value will be used.
    See Also:
      `getBlockIncrement()`, `setBlockIncrement(double)`

    public final BooleanProperty snapToTicksProperty()
    Indicates whether the `value` of the `Slider` should always be aligned with the tick marks. This is honored even if the tick marks are not shown.

  - ### setLabelFormatter

    public final void setLabelFormatter​(StringConverter<Double> value)
    Sets the value of the property labelFormatter.
    Property description:
      A function for formatting the label for a major tick. The number representing the major tick will be passed to the function. If this function is not specified, then a default function will be used by the `Skin` implementation.

  - ### getLabelFormatter

    public final StringConverter<Double> getLabelFormatter()
    Gets the value of the property labelFormatter.
    Property description:
      A function for formatting the label for a major tick. The number representing the major tick will be passed to the function. If this function is not specified, then a default function will be used by the `Skin` implementation.

  - ### labelFormatterProperty

    public final ObjectProperty<StringConverter<Double>> labelFormatterProperty()
    A function for formatting the label for a major tick. The number representing the major tick will be passed to the function. If this function is not specified, then a default function will be used by the `Skin` implementation.
    See Also:
      `getLabelFormatter()`, `setLabelFormatter(StringConverter)`

  - ### setBlockIncrement

    public final void setBlockIncrement​(double value)
    Sets the value of the property blockIncrement.
    Property description:
      The amount by which to adjust the slider if the track of the slider is clicked. This is used when manipulating the slider position using keys. If `snapToTicks` is true then the nearest tick mark to the adjusted value will be used.

  - ### getBlockIncrement

    public final double getBlockIncrement()
    Gets the value of the property blockIncrement.
    Property description:
      The amount by which to adjust the slider if the track of the slider is clicked. This is used when manipulating the slider position using keys. If `snapToTicks` is true then the nearest tick mark to the adjusted value will be used.

  - ### blockIncrementProperty

    public final DoubleProperty blockIncrementProperty()
    The amount by which to adjust the slider if the track of the slider is clicked. This is used when manipulating the slider position using keys. If `snapToTicks` is true then the nearest tick mark to the adjusted value will be used.
    See Also:
      `getBlockIncrement()`, `setBlockIncrement(double)`

  - ### adjustValue

    public void adjustValue​(double newValue)
    Adjusts `value` to match `newValue`. The `value`is the actual amount between the `min` and `max`. This function also takes into account `snapToTicks`, which is the main difference between adjustValue and setValue. It also ensures that the value is some valid number between min and max. Note: This function is intended to be used by experts, primarily by those implementing new Skins or Behaviors. It is not common for developers or designers to access this function directly.
    Parameters:
      `newValue` - the new adjusted value

  - ### increment

    public void increment()
    Increments the value by `blockIncrement`, bounded by max. If the max is less than or equal to the min, then this method does nothing.

  - ### decrement

    public void decrement()
    Decrements the value by `blockIncrement`, bounded by max. If the max is less than or equal to the min, then this method does nothing.

  - ### getControlCssMetaData

    protected List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,​?>> getControlCssMetaData()
    Overrides:
      `getControlCssMetaData` in class `Control`
    Returns:
      unmodifiable list of the controls css styleable properties
