""" ====== Slider ====== In this example, sliders are used to control the frequency and amplitude of a sine wave. See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/slider_snap_demo` for an example of having the ``Slider`` snap to discrete values. See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/range_slider` for an example of using a ``RangeSlider`` to define a range of values.
