# Scale widget

The Scale widget is very similar in appearance to a Scroll Bar: it consists of a slider which moves within an elongated rectangle. It is used to indicate or input a value from a defined range of possible values.

For more information, consult XmScale(3X) in the OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference Manual.

HINTS

A scale can be either an input/output or an output only device. Use the Sensitive resource from the Core Resources Panel to specify that the user can modify the scale value.

Changing the orientation of a scale widget can have strange effects. If problems occur, try resetting the scale widget or its parent.
