/**
 * <p>
 * The JSlider is a Swing component that allows selection of a value within a
 * range by adjusting a thumb in a track. The values for the minimum,
 * maximum, extent and value are stored in a {@link
 * DefaultBoundedRangeModel}.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * JSliders have the following properties:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <table>
 * <tr><th> Property         </td><th> Stored in </td><th> Bound? </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> extent           </td><td> model     </td><td> no     </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> inverted         </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> labelTable       </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> majorTickSpacing </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr> 
 * <tr><td> maximum          </td><td> model     </td><td> no     </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> minimum          </td><td> model     </td><td> no     </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> minorTickSpacing </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> model            </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr> 
 * <tr><td> orientation      </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> paintLabels      </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> paintTicks       </td><td> slider    </td><td> yes    </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> snapToTicks      </td><td> slider    </td><td> no     </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> value            </td><td> model     </td><td> no     </td></tr>
 * <tr><td> valueIsAdjusting </td><td> model     </td><td> no     </td></tr>
 * </table>
 * 
 * <p>
 * The various behavioral aspects of these properties follows:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * When non-bound properties stored in the slider change, the slider fires
 * ChangeEvents to its ChangeListeners.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * When bound properties stored in the slider change, the slider fires
 * PropertyChangeEvents to its PropertyChangeListeners
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * If any of the model's properties change, it fires a ChangeEvent to its
 * ChangeListeners, which include the slider.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * If the slider receives a ChangeEvent from its model, it will propagate the
 * ChangeEvent to its ChangeListeners, with the ChangeEvent's "source"
 * property set to refer to the slider, rather than the model.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
