The slider supports two levels of tick marks, major and minor. Typically, the minor tick-mark spacing is smaller than the major tick-mark spacing. Also, the minor tick-mark spacing is a multiple of the major tick-mark spacing. However, the slider does not enforce any of these constraints.
// Create a horizontal slider that moves left-to-right JSlider slider = new JSlider(); // Determine if currently showing ticks boolean b = slider.getPaintTicks(); // false // Show tick marks slider.setPaintTicks(true); // Set major tick marks every 25 units int tickSpacing = 25; slider.setMajorTickSpacing(tickSpacing); // Set minor tick marks every 5 units tickSpacing = 5; slider.setMinorTickSpacing(tickSpacing);
