## Detailed Description

The Slider Widget.

QwtSlider is a slider widget which operates on an interval of type double. Its position is related to a scale showing the current value.

The slider can be customized by having a through, a groove - or both.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtSlider::ScalePosition

Position of the scale

See also
  QwtSlider(), setScalePosition(), setOrientation()

Enumerator
NoScale | The slider has no scale.
LeadingScale | The scale is right of a vertical or below a horizontal slider.
TrailingScale | The scale is left of a vertical or above a horizontal slider.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtSlider::QwtSlider | ( | QWidget * | parent = `NULL` | ) |
| explicit

Construct vertical slider in QwtSlider::Trough style with a scale to the left.

The scale is initialized to [0.0, 100.0] and the value set to 0.0.

Parameters

  parent | Parent widget

See also
  setOrientation(), setScalePosition(), setBackgroundStyle()

QwtSlider::QwtSlider | ( | Qt::Orientation | orientation,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `NULL`
| ) |  |
| explicit

Construct a slider in QwtSlider::Trough style

When orientation is Qt::Vertical the scale will be aligned to the left - otherwise at the the top of the slider.

The scale is initialized to [0.0, 100.0] and the value set to 0.0.

Parameters

  parent | Parent widget
  orientation | Orientation of the slider.
