How to create a JavaFX slider?

JavaFX provides a class known as Slider, this represents a slider component that displays a continuous range of values. This contains a track on which the numerical values are displayed. Along the track, there is a thumb pointing to the numbers. You can provide the maximum, minimum and initial values of the slider. 

To create a slider you need to instantiate the Slider class, set the required properties and, add it to the scene.

Example

import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.geometry.Insets; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Slider; import javafx.scene.layout.VBox; import javafx.stage.Stage;         public class SliderExample extends Application {    public void start(Stage stage) {             //Setting the slider       Slider slider = new Slider(0, 500, 0);             slider.setShowTickLabels(true);       slider.setShowTickMarks(true);       slider.setMajorTickUnit(100);       slider.setBlockIncrement(50);           //Creating a VBox       VBox vbox = new VBox();       vbox.setPadding(new Insets(50, 50, 50, 50 ));       vbox.setSpacing(150);       vbox.getChildren().addAll(slider);             //Preparing the scene       Scene scene = new Scene(vbox, 595, 150);       stage.setTitle("Slider Example");       stage.setScene(scene);       stage.show();    }        public static void main(String args[]){       launch(args);    } }
