Control
Details
- Control supports the following variable and domain specifications:
-
{u,umin,umax} manipulator (slider, animator, etc.){u,umin,umax,du} discrete manipulator with step du{u,{xmin,ymin},{xmax,ymax}} 2D slider{u,{u1,u2,…}} setter bar for few elements; popup menu for more{u,{u1->lbl1,u2->lbl2,…}} setter bar or popup menu with labels for elements{u,color} color slider{u} blank input field{u,func} an arbitrary control from a function{{u,uinit},…} use initial value uinit{{u,uinit,ulbl},…} include label ulbl{{u,…},…,opts} use the specified control options
- The variable u in Control [{u,…}] is automatically treated as a Dynamic object.
- Options specified by Control [{u,dom,opts}] are typically interpreted as they are in Manipulate .
- The option setting ControlType->type will attempt to use a control of the specified type.
- opts may include option settings specific to the selected control.
