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.

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.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Normal horizontal sliders with a ComponentOrientation value of
