VerticalSlider

VerticalSlider[y]

represents a vertical slider at position y with range 0 to 1.

VerticalSlider[Dynamic[y]]

takes the position to be the dynamically updated current value of y, with the value of y being reset if the slider is moved.

VerticalSlider[y,{ymin,ymax}]

represents a vertical slider with range ymin to ymax.

VerticalSlider[y,{ymin,ymax,dy}]

represents a vertical slider that jumps in steps dy.

VerticalSlider[y,{{e1,e2,…}}]

represents a slider in which equally spaced intervals correspond to successive settings ei.

VerticalSlider[y,{{{e1,h1},{e2,h2},…}}]

uses intervals of relative heights hi for the ei.

Details and Options

  • VerticalSlider[…] displays in a notebook as a vertical slider that can be manipulated interactively.
  • VerticalSlider[Dynamic[y]] will reset the value of y when the slider is moved; VerticalSlider[y] will not.
  • VerticalSlider[n,{nmin,nmax,dn}] jumps to integer positions if nmin and dn are integers. »
  • VerticalSlider[y,{ymin,ymax,dy}] in general jumps to positions given by Range[ymin,ymax,dy]. »
  • VerticalSlider[y] represents a slider running from value 0 at the bottom to value 1 at the top.
  • VerticalSlider[y,{ymax,ymin}] with ymax>ymin represents a slider running from value ymin at the top to value ymax at the bottom. »
  • If the value of the slider is outside the range given, it will be displayed at one of the ends.
  • VerticalSlider[y,{0,1,dy}] displays at position y, even if this is not a multiple of dy.
  • In VerticalSlider[y,{{e1,e2,…}}], the ei can be any expressions, not just numbers.
  • The following options can be given:
  • Appearance Automaticthe overall appearance of the slider
    AutoAction Falsewhether to move the slider automatically when the mouse is over it
    BaselinePosition Automaticalignment relative to surrounding text
    BaseStyle{}base style specifications for the slider

    Enabled Automaticwhether the slider is enabled, or grayed out
    ImageMargins 0margins around the image of the displayed slider
