/**
 * A component that lets the user graphically select a value by sliding
 * a knob within a bounded interval. The slider can show both 
 * major tick marks and minor tick marks between them. The number of
 * values between the tick marks is controlled with 
 * <code>setMajorTickSpacing</code> and <code>setMinorTickSpacing</code>.
