Slider
A value can be set for a slider.
Prerequisites
A slider is a variable with the presentation slider. To use this spresentation, the variable must fulfill the following conditions:
- Type integer or float
- Set up Variable action
Parameter
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Minimum value | Minimum value of the slider |
| Maximum value | Maximum value of the slider |
| Step size | Size of a single step in the slider. At 0, the slider has no fixed increment. |
| Gradient | Defines the appearance of the gradient |
| User-defined gradient | Colors can be selected for specific values in the list. The gradient of the slider then consists of a gradient over the defined colors. (only visible and usable if gradient = "User-defined") |
| Usage type | Use of the variable in summarized presentations. The value does not have a direct effect on the display of the variable, but only on its use in summarized displays. |
| Prefix | Is written in front of the variable value during formatting |
| Suffix | Is written after the variable value during formatting |
| Display type | With "Percentage", the values are displayed as a percentage. This means that the minimum value is displayed as 0 and the maximum value as 100, regardless of their absolute values. Other values are also scaled accordingly. No conversion takes place with "Absolute". |
| Thousands separator | Defines the thousands separator used when formatting the value |
| Decimal places | The number of decimal places that are displayed when formatting the value (only available for variables of type Float) |
| Decimal separator | Defines the decimal separator used when formatting the value (only available for variables of type Float) |
| Icon | The Icon that is used for the variable |
| Use updated parameters for specific intervals | Activates a list of intervals that can override the formatting in specific value ranges (not usable if display type = "Percentage") |
| Intervals | A list of intervals for overwriting the formatting in specific value ranges |
Intervals
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| Start of interval | The interval is applied from this value |
| End of interval | The interval is applied up to this value. If there is an interval with a start at this value, the other interval is used for the exact value for End and the defined interval is only used for values that are smaller than the end. |
| Display | If "Formatted value" is selected, the value is formatted with adjusted parameters; if "Constant" is selected, the display is replaced by a constant value. |
| Constant | Defines the text that is to be displayed without further formatting for values within this interval. (only available if display = "Constant") |
| Conversion factor | Before formatting, the value is divided by the conversion factor (only available if display = "Formatted value") |
| Overwrite prefix | If the switch is activated, the prefix defined in the interval is used instead of the prefix of the main configuration (only available if display = "Formatted value") |
| Prefix | Prefix used within the interval (only available if the "Overwrite prefix" switch is active) |
| Overwrite suffix | If the switch is activated, the suffix defined in the interval is used instead of the suffix of the main configuration (only available if display = "Formatted value") |
| Suffix | Suffix used within the interval (only available if the "Overwrite suffix" switch is active) |
| Overwrite decimal places | If the switch is activated, not the decimal places of the main configuration are used, but the decimal places defined in the interval (only available if display = "Formatted value" and variable of type Float) |
| Suffix | Decimal places used within the interval (only available if the "Overwrite decimal places" switch is active) |
| Overwrite icon | If the switch is activated, the icon defined in the interval is used instead of the icon of the main configuration |
| Icon | Icon used within the interval (only available if the "Overwrite icon" switch is active) |
Display as legacy profile
If a variable uses the presentation Legacy profile, it is displayed as a slider if it also fulfills the following conditions:
- Does not fulfill the conditions of any of the following presentations:
- Variable profile with the following parameters:
- Max value > Min value
- Any increment, but has an influence on the increment of the slider
When using a variable profile, some parameters of the slider are derived
Gradient
The gradient depends on the profile name.
- Temperature for profile name
~Temperature
~Temperature.Difference
~Temperature.Fahrenheit
~Temperature.Room - Color temperature for profile name "~TWColor"
- Default otherwise
Use of the variables
The use depends on the profile name.
- Temperature for profile name
- ~Temperature
~Temperature.Difference
~Temperature.Fahrenheit
~Temperature.Room
- ~Temperature
- Color temperature for profile name "~TWColor"
- Intensity if profile name begins with "~Intensity." begins
- Volume for profile name "~Volume"
- Progress for profile name "~Progress"
- None of these otherwise
Display type
"Percentage" if suffix "%", otherwise "Absolute"
Appearance in visualization tile
As own tile
Within a list
Appearance in the WebFront
The WebFront differentiates according to the display type and has a separate display for each case:
Display type "Absolute"
Display type "Percentage"
