A sliding control that appears on a GUI.
Slows and controls the speed of a canopy's opening. It's a piece of fabric with large grommets through which the four major line groupings are threaded. When packed, the slider is pulled to the top of the lines. During deployment, it is forced down the lines by the expanding canopy. Without a slider, most canopies would open so hard that they could blow out major seams and "explode".
A control that "slides" back and forth across a range of measurements or values. Style Manager's Color dialog controls that choose the red, green, and blue color values are examples of sliders.
a control that allows the user to choose a value from among a range of numeric values at evenly spaced intervals
a control that enables users to set a value in a range
a control that is used to select a value from a continuous or discontinuous range
a control that represents a bounded value
a control that you use to set a value in a continuous range of values
a control with a handle which can be pulled back and forth to change the value
A software interface control that allows the user to interact with the map.
A control in a GUI interface that slides back & forth on a scale and assigns a value based on the position of the slide button, relative to the endpoints.
A control that uses a track and arm to set a value from among the available values. The position of the arm (or a separate indicator) gives the currently set value.
A control, sometimes called a trackbar, that allows a user to adjust a setting in given increments between minimum and maximum values by moving a slider. The volume controls in the Windows operating system are slider controls.
A rectangular piece of nylon fabric with a grommet at each corner through which the canopy's suspension lines are routed. Packed at the top of the lines, the slider controls the opening of the canopy by preventing the parachute from expanding too rapidly.
A slider is a small rectangular piece of fabric with a grommet near each corner used to control the deployment of a "ram-air" parachute. A ram-air parachute has an inherent tendency to open very rapidly. At high velocities, the opening shock from such a rapid deployment can cause damage to the canopy or injury to the jumper (or both).
