/**
An NSSlider displays, and allows control of, some value in the
application. It represents a continuous stream of values of type
float
, which can be retrieved by the method
floatValue
and set by the method
setFloatValue:
.
This control is a continuous control. It sends its action
message as long as the user is manipulating it. This can be changed
by passing NO
to the setContinuous:
message of a given NSSlider.
Although methods for adding and managing a title are provided, the slider's knob can cover this title, so it is recommended that a label be added near the slider, for identification.
As with many controls, NSSlider relies on its cell counterpart, NSSliderCell. For more information, please see the specification for NSSliderCell.
Use of an NSSlider to do the role of an NSScroller is not recommended. A scroller is intended to represent the visible portion of a view, whereas a slider is intended to represent some value.
Returns the value by which the slider will be incremented if the user holds down the ALT key.
