\title{slider / button control widgets}
\description{
  \code{slider} constructs a Tcl/Tk-widget with sliders and buttons
  automated calculation and plotting. For example slider allows complete
  all axes rotation of objects in a plot.
}
\usage{
slider(sl.functions, sl.names, sl.mins, sl.maxs, sl.deltas, sl.defaults,
but.functions, but.names, no, set.no.value, obj.name, obj.value,
reset.function, title) 
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{sl.functions}{set of functions or function connected to the slider(s)}
  \item{sl.names}{labels of the sliders}
  \item{sl.mins}{minimum values of the sliders' ranges}
  \item{sl.maxs}{maximum values of the sliders' ranges}
  \item{sl.deltas}{change of step per click}
  \item{sl.defaults}{default values for the sliders}
  \item{but.functions}{function or list of functions
          that are assigned to the button(s)}
  \item{but.names}{labels of the buttons}
  \item{no}{\code{slider(no=i)} requests slider \code{i}}
  \item{set.no.value}{\code{slider(set.no.value=c(i,val))} sets slider \code{i} to value \code{val}}
  \item{obj.name}{\code{slider(obj.name=name)} requests the value of
  variable \code{name} from environment \code{slider.env}}
  \item{obj.value}{\code{slider(obj.name=name,obj.value=value)} assigns \code{value}
  to variable \code{name} in environment \code{slider.env}}
  \item{reset.function}{function that comprises the commands of the
  \code{reset.button}}
  \item{title}{title of the control window}
}
\details{
  With slider you can:
  a. define (multiple) sliders and buttons,
  b. request or set slider values, and
  c. request or set variables in the environment \code{slider.env}.
  Slider function management takes place in the
  environment \code{slider.env}. If \code{slider.env}
  is not found it is generated.

  Definition: ... of sliders: First of all you have to define sliders, buttons and the attributes of them.
  Sliders are established by six arguments:
  \code{sl.functions, sl.names, sl.minima, sl.maxima,sl.deltas}, and \code{sl.defaults}.
  The first argument,
  \code{sl.functions}, is either a list of functions or a single function that
  entails the commands for the sliders.
  If there are three sliders and slider 2 is moved with the mouse the function stored in
  \code{sl.functions[[2]]} (or in case of one function for all sliders the function \code{sl.functions})
  is called.

  Definition:  ... of buttons: Buttons are defined by a vector of labels \code{but.names} and a list of functions:
  \code{but.functions}. If button \code{i} is pressed the function stored in \code{but.functions[[i]]} is called.

  Requesting: ... a slider:
  \code{slider(no=1)} returns the actual value of slider 1,
  \code{slider(no=2)} returns the value of slider 2, etc.
  You are allowed to include expressions of the type
  \code{slider(no=i)} in functions describing the effect of
  sliders or buttons.

  Setting: ... a slider: \code{slider(set.no.value=c(2,333))} sets slider \code{2} to value 333.
  \code{slider(set.no.value=c(i,value))} can be included in the functions
  defining the effects of moving sliders or pushing buttons.

  Variables: ... of the environment \code{slider.env}: Sometimes information
  has to be trransferred back and forth between functions defining the effects of sliders and buttons.
  Imagine for example two sliders: one to control \code{p} and another one to control \code{q},
  but they should satisfy: \code{p+q=1}. Consequently, you have to correct the value of the first slider
  after the second one was moved. To prevent the creation of  global
  variables store them in the environment \code{slider.env}.
  Use \code{slider(obj.name="p.save",obj.value=1-slider(no=2))}
  to assign value  \code{1-slider(no=2)} to the variable \code{p.save} .
  \code{slider(obj.name=p.save)} returns the value of variable \code{p.save}.
}
\value{
 Using \code{slider} in definition mode \code{slider} returns the value of new created the top level widget.
  \code{slider(no=i)} returns the actual value of slider \code{i}.
  \code{slider(obj.name=name)} returns the value of variable \code{name} in environment \code{slider.env}.
}

\note{You can move the slider in 3 different ways:  You can left click
  and drag the slider itself, you can left click in the trough to either
  side of the slider and the slider will move 1 unit in the direction
  you clicked, or you can right click in the trough and the slider will
  jump to the location you clicked at.

  This function may not stay in this package (consider it
  semi-depricated), the original of the slider function is in the relax
  package and can be used from there.  In TeachingDemos the
  \code{\link{tkexamp}}
  function is taking the place of \code{slider} and gives a possibly
  more general approach.
