Animate a Slider

Animate a Slider

The slider thumb will move back and forth between the ends of the slider axis, and the value corresponding to the slider will change accordingly. Any formula containing the slider's name will be recalculated and all views of it will update. The direction the slider goes first depends on the direction it was last moving. If you want it to first animate to the right, move it manually to the right before you start the animation.

While an animation is taking place, you can do other things in TinkerPlots, but the response might be a bit slow. You can slow down animation by making the slider wider, or speed it up by making it narrower. You can also change its speed by entering a value for Max_updates_per_second in the Inspect Slider window. To open this window, double-click the slider axis. Higher numbers speed up the animation.
