Abstract
The disclosed non-linear slider control enables a single control to rapidly change orders of magnitude in the scale of control by varying the bounds and quantization interval based on the value before the user begins a slide operation. The bigger the value is at the start, the larger the bounds and the interval. At the end of at least one slide control operation, the bounds and step interval value are recomputed.
