<a name="GtkScale.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>A GtkScale is a slider control used to select a numeric value.
To use it, youll probably want to investigate the methods on
its base class, <a class="link" href="GtkRange.html" title="GtkRange"><span class="type">GtkRange</span></a>, in addition to the methods for GtkScale itself.
To set the value of a scale, you would normally use <a class="link" href="GtkRange.html#gtk-range-set-value" title="gtk_range_set_value ()"><code class="function">gtk_range_set_value()</code></a>.
To detect changes to the value, you would normally use the
<a class="link" href="GtkRange.html#GtkRange-value-changed" title="The “value-changed” signal"><span class="type">“value-changed”</span></a> signal.</p>
<p>Note that using the same upper and lower bounds for the <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html" title="GtkScale"><span class="type">GtkScale</span></a> (through
the <a class="link" href="GtkRange.html" title="GtkRange"><span class="type">GtkRange</span></a> methods) will hide the slider itself. This is useful for
applications that want to show an undeterminate value on the scale, without
changing the layout of the application (such as movie or music players).</p>
<div class="refsect2">
<a name="id-1.3.10.5.11.4"></a><h3>GtkScale as GtkBuildable</h3>
<p>GtkScale supports a custom &lt;marks&gt; element, which can contain multiple
&lt;mark&gt; elements. The “value” and “position” attributes have the same
meaning as <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html#gtk-scale-add-mark" title="gtk_scale_add_mark ()"><code class="function">gtk_scale_add_mark()</code></a> parameters of the same name. If the
element is not empty, its content is taken as the markup to show at
the mark. It can be translated with the usual ”translatable” and
“context” attributes.</p>

<p>GtkScale has a main CSS node with name scale and a subnode for its contents,
with subnodes named trough and slider.</p>
<p>The main node gets the style class .fine-tune added when the scale is in
'fine-tuning' mode.</p>
<p>If the scale has an origin (see <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html#gtk-scale-set-has-origin" title="gtk_scale_set_has_origin ()"><code class="function">gtk_scale_set_has_origin()</code></a>), there is a
subnode with name highlight below the trough node that is used for rendering
the highlighted part of the trough.</p>
<p>If the scale is showing a fill level (see <a class="link" href="GtkRange.html#gtk-range-set-show-fill-level" title="gtk_range_set_show_fill_level ()"><code class="function">gtk_range_set_show_fill_level()</code></a>),
there is a subnode with name fill below the trough node that is used for
rendering the filled in part of the trough.</p>
<p>If marks are present, there is a marks subnode before or after the contents
node, below which each mark gets a node with name mark. The marks nodes get
either the .top or .bottom style class.</p>
<p>The mark node has a subnode named indicator. If the mark has text, it also
has a subnode named label. When the mark is either above or left of the
scale, the label subnode is the first when present. Otherwise, the indicator
subnode is the first.</p>
<p>The main CSS node gets the 'marks-before' and/or 'marks-after' style classes
added depending on what marks are present.</p>
<p>If the scale is displaying the value (see <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html#GtkScale--draw-value" title="The “draw-value” property"><span class="type">“draw-value”</span></a>), there is
subnode with name value.</p>

<p>Sets the number of decimal places that are displayed in the value. Also
causes the value of the adjustment to be rounded to this number of digits,
so the retrieved value matches the displayed one, if <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html#GtkScale--draw-value" title="The “draw-value” property"><span class="type">“draw-value”</span></a> is
<code class="literal">TRUE</code> when the value changes. If you want to enforce rounding the value when
<a class="link" href="GtkScale.html#GtkScale--draw-value" title="The “draw-value” property"><span class="type">“draw-value”</span></a> is <code class="literal">FALSE</code>, you can set <a class="link" href="GtkRange.html#GtkRange--round-digits" title="The “round-digits” property"><span class="type">“round-digits”</span></a> instead.</p>
<p>Note that rounding to a small number of digits can interfere with
the smooth autoscrolling that is built into <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html" title="GtkScale"><span class="type">GtkScale</span></a>. As an alternative,
you can use the <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html#GtkScale-format-value" title="The “format-value” signal"><span class="type">“format-value”</span></a> signal to format the displayed
value yourself.</p>

<p>Signal which allows you to change how the scale value is displayed.
Connect a signal handler which returns an allocated string representing
<em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
. That string will then be used to display the scale's value.</p>
<p>If no user-provided handlers are installed, the value will be displayed on
its own, rounded according to the value of the <a class="link" href="GtkScale.html#GtkScale--digits" title="The “digits” property"><span class="type">“digits”</span></a> property.</p>
<p>Here's an example signal handler which displays a value 1.0 as
with "--&gt;1.0&lt;--".</p>
