Description Hariharan CLA 2006-08-25 06:38:46 EDT
The scale which seems to look similar to JSlider, not showing the measurement below the scale.

Is there anyother widget or any other alternate solution. Or any provision in next coming versions.

Not really.  The native scale draws how it wants.  If by measurements, you mean "ticks", I know that on Windows, it's possible to get the ticks to draw only on one side of the scale.  I haven't investigated the other platforms.

Feel free to reopen this bug report with sample code or an analysis of what is possible on Windows, GTK, the Mac and Motif.  Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. The widget Scale which we requires not the tick marks and require the range values like 0 - 1000 - 2000 - 3000 as attached in the above JSlider screenshot.

Ok, we need to do an investigation of the native scale widget on Windows, GTK, the Mac and Motif to see whether they can support numbers instead of ticks. 

NOTE:  This is pretty low priority for me and may not happen for 3.3.  You can help by submitting code and/or investigating the platforms.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the request is still relevant please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
