      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);

    - #### 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

      Indicates that the labels for tick marks should be shown. Typically a `Skin` implementation will only show labels if `showTickMarks` is also true.
      See Also:
        `isShowTickLabels()`, `setShowTickLabels(boolean)`

    - #### 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 void setMajorTickUnit​(double value)

      Sets the value of the property majorTickUnit.
      Property description:
        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.
