""" =============================== Snap sliders to discrete values =============================== You can snap slider values to discrete values using the ``valstep`` argument. In this example the Freq slider is constrained to be multiples of pi, and the Amp slider uses an array as the ``valstep`` argument to more densely sample the first part of its range. See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/slider_demo` for an example of using a ``Slider`` to control a single float. See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/range_slider` for an example of using a ``RangeSlider`` to define a range of values.
