## Detailed Description

An abstract base class for slider widgets with a scale.

A slider widget displays a value according to a scale. The class is designed as a common super class for widgets like QwtKnob, QwtDial and QwtSlider.

When the slider is nor readOnly() its value can be modified by keyboard, mouse and wheel inputs.

The range of the slider is divided into a number of steps from which the value increments according to user inputs depend. Only for linear scales the number of steps correspond with a fixed step size.
