 So far Rhizosphere used the default sliders provided by the JQuery UI framework. These works really good for integer scales, but do not handle properly non-integer scales, such as small decimal scales. Changeset 93 introduces the support for custom mappers that can be applied on top of a slider. These mappers take care of converting values from your model scale to a scale suitable for a UI slider and viceversa. It is now really easy to create sliders that span over data ranges that couldn't be handled before. The image shows you a couple of sliders that cover a range of few decimal values, with a granularity of .01 and 0.001. Since the data-mapping is completely type-agnostic, it is easy to create sliders whose range is not even numeric, such as date sliders, or alphabet sliders! I will soon post an example that demonstrates this! |

Sliders now support Scale mappingposted 25 Nov 2008 20:02 by Riccardo Govoni |
And starting from Changeset 99 and 107, you can now have logarithmic sliders, and human labels for slider ranges, so for example a number like 17643233 would appear as 17.6M ! Stay tuned for some samples and screenshots of this feature.
