Slider¶

The Slider widget looks like a scrollbar. It supports horizontal and vertical orientations, min/max values and a default value.

To create a slider from -100 to 100 starting from 25:

from kivy.uix.slider import Slider
s = Slider(min=-100, max=100, value=25)

To create a vertical slider:

from kivy.uix.slider import Slider
s = Slider(orientation='vertical')

class kivy.uix.slider.Slider(**kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: kivy.uix.widget.Widget

Class for creating a Slider widget.

Check module documentation for more details.

max¶

Maximum value allowed for value.

max is a NumericProperty and defaults to 100.

min¶

Minimum value allowed for value.

min is a NumericProperty and defaults to 0.

orientation¶

Orientation of the slider.

orientation is an OptionProperty and defaults to ‘horizontal’. Can take a value of ‘vertical’ or ‘horizontal’.

padding¶

Padding of the slider. The padding is used for graphical representation and interaction. It prevents the cursor from going out of the bounds of the slider bounding box.

By default, padding is sp(16). The range of the slider is reduced from padding *2 on the screen. It allows drawing the default cursor of sp(32) width without having the cursor go out of the widget.

padding is a NumericProperty and defaults to sp(16).

range¶

Range of the slider in the format (minimum value, maximum value):

>>> slider = Slider(min=10, max=80)
>>> slider.range
[10, 80]
>>> slider.range = (20, 100)
>>> slider.min
20
>>> slider.max
100

range is a ReferenceListProperty of (min, max) properties.

step¶

Step size of the slider.

New in version 1.4.0.

Determines the size of each interval or step the slider takes between min and max. If the value range can’t be evenly divisible by step the last step will be capped by slider.max

step is a NumericProperty and defaults to 1.

value¶

Current value used for the slider.

value is a NumericProperty and defaults to 0.

value_normalized¶

Normalized value inside the range (min/max) to 0-1 range:

>>> slider = Slider(value=50, min=0, max=100)
>>> slider.value
50
>>> slider.value_normalized
0.5
>>> slider.value = 0
>>> slider.value_normalized
0
>>> slider.value = 100
>>> slider.value_normalized
1

You can also use it for setting the real value without knowing the minimum and maximum:

>>> slider = Slider(min=0, max=200)
>>> slider.value_normalized = .5
>>> slider.value
100
>>> slider.value_normalized = 1.
>>> slider.value
200

value_normalized is an AliasProperty.

value_pos¶

Position of the internal cursor, based on the normalized value.

value_pos is an AliasProperty.
