UI Slider

From GiderosMobile

Here you will find various resources to help you create sliders in Gideros Studio.

note: You may have to provide your own assets (fonts, gfx, …)

---- USAGE
--local slit = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("Images/slit.png"))
--slit:setAnchorPoint(0, 0.5)
--local knob = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("Images/knob.png"))
--knob:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
--local myslider = Slider.new(slit, knob)
--stage:addChild(myslider)
--slider:setValue(75)

Another Slider

You can rotate it as well (0 and 90° work best)
