===================================
Snapping Sliders to Discrete Values
===================================

You can snap slider values to discrete values using the ``valstep`` argument.

In this example the Freq slider is constrained to be multiples of pi, and the
Amp slider uses an array as the ``valstep`` argument to more densely sample
the first part of its range.

See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/slider_demo` for an example of using
a ``Slider`` to control a single float.

See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/range_slider` for an example of using
a ``RangeSlider`` to define a range of values.
