Sliders Introduction
Slider Object Feature Description
Section titled “Slider Object Feature Description”Canvas includes a Slider object that allows users to adjust numerical values interactively by dragging a handle along a horizontal or vertical track.

They are particularly useful for scenarios where continuous adjustment of a value is required rather than a discrete input.
