  • barGradient - Overrides barColor, assign a gradient to the slider
  • knobColor - Color of the knob
  • knobColorFromLocation - overrides knobColor, setting the knob's color to that of it's location on the slider bar

Example - Rainbow gradient

  1. Create an NSSlider and assign its subclass to JCGGColorSlider
  2. Create a rainbow gradient
  3. Assign gradient to NSSlider
  4. Set knob to match color
// 1
let exampleSlider = JCGGSlider.init(frame: example)

// 2
let rainbow = NSGradient.init(colors: Array(0...10).map{ NSColor.init(calibratedHue: CGFloat($0) / 10, saturation: 1.0, brightness: 1.0, alpha: 1.0) })!

// 3
exampleSlider.barGradient = rainbow

// 4
exampleSlider.knobColorFromLocation = true
