Swing Examples - Creating Vertical Sliders

Following example showcases how to use vertical slider in a Java Swing application.

We are using the following APIs.

• JSlider(orientation, min, max, value) − To create a slider while orientation set the vertical orientation.

• JSlider.getValue() − To get the current value of slider.
