The Scale widget is very similar in appearance to a Scroll Bar: it consists of a slider which moves within an elongated rectangle. It is used to indicate or input a value from a defined range of possible values.
For more information, consult XmScale(3X) in the OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference Manual.
HINTS
A scale can be either an input/output or an output only device. For Motif 1.2, use the Sensitive resource from the Core Resources Panel to specify that the user can modify the scale value. For Motif 2.1, the editable resource should be preferred.
Changing the orientation of a scale widget can have strange effects. If problems occur, try resetting the scale widget or its parent.
