# Usage

The vtkContinuousValueWidget is used to adjust a scalar value in an application. Note that the actual appearance of the widget depends on the specific representation for the widget.

To use this widget, set the widget representation. (the details may vary depending on the particulars of the representation).

.SECTION Event Bindings By default, the widget responds to the following VTK events (i.e., it watches the vtkRenderWindowInteractor for these events):

     If the slider bead is selected:
       LeftButtonPressEvent - select slider
       LeftButtonReleaseEvent - release slider
       MouseMoveEvent - move slider

Note that the event bindings described above can be changed using this class's vtkWidgetEventTranslator. This class translates VTK events into the vtkContinuousValueWidget's widget events:

       vtkWidgetEvent::Select – some part of the widget has been selected
       vtkWidgetEvent::EndSelect – the selection process has completed
       vtkWidgetEvent::Move – a request for slider motion has been invoked

In turn, when these widget events are processed, the vtkContinuousValueWidget invokes the following VTK events on itself (which observers can listen for):

       vtkCommand::StartInteractionEvent (on vtkWidgetEvent::Select)
       vtkCommand::EndInteractionEvent (on vtkWidgetEvent::EndSelect)
       vtkCommand::InteractionEvent (on vtkWidgetEvent::Move)

To create an instance of class vtkContinuousValueWidget, simply invoke its constructor as follows

      obj = vtkContinuousValueWidget

# Methods

The class vtkContinuousValueWidget has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, `obj` is an instance of the vtkContinuousValueWidget class.

- `string = obj.GetClassName ()` - Standard macros.
- `int = obj.IsA (string name)` - Standard macros.
- `vtkContinuousValueWidget = obj.NewInstance ()` - Standard macros.
- `vtkContinuousValueWidget = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)` - Standard macros.
- `obj.SetRepresentation (vtkContinuousValueWidgetRepresentation r)` - Get the value for this widget.
- `double = obj.GetValue ()` - Get the value for this widget.
- `obj.SetValue (double v)` - Get the value for this widget.
