question on slider control

[Vikas NV]

Hi, I have a slider control on my page, whose min and max values are 1 and 2. I want to move the slider in steps of 0.2 but I can't get it to work with setting ui.unitIncrement = 0.2

May I know how to get around with this?

Thanks,

Vikas

This is a known limitation of the API.  You can "star" the bug report on the issue (http://code.google.com/p/google-visualization-api-issues/issues/detail?id=861) to get updates on a fix and to let the devs know that users are particular concerned about this issue.

I have starred the issue. As a work around I have done this:

1. I have put a select menu, from which users can select an option (these options are mapped to the slider controls)

2. I have text boxes for min & max for users to enter

3. Check user's entry of min & max are valid

4. I have two buttons .. 

     "redraw"->which sets the min & max for slider using setState & redraws slider

     "reset" ->which sets the min to floor of min_of_col_from_datatable & max to ceil of max_of_col_from_datatable & redraws slider
This also saves a lot of page's real estate ..

Thanks,

But still it does not work, it seems like the entered numbers in textbox get rounded off before filtering ...

Are you trying to set the state of the slider to some non-integer value?  If so, it won't work - the sliders only use integer values.
