# Sliders
**This documentation is fully rendered on the
[Material Web catalog](https://material-web.dev/components/slider/)**
[Sliders](https://m3.material.io/components/sliders) allow users to
view and select a value (or range) along a track. They're ideal for adjusting
settings such as volume and brightness, or for applying image filters.
Sliders can use icons or labels to represent a numeric or relative scale.

## Usage
Sliders may be continuous or discrete, and may also represent a range.
```html
```
### Continuous
Allows users to select a value along a subjective range.
```html
```
### Discrete
Allows users to select a specific value from a predetermined range. Tick marks
may be used to indicate available values.
```html
```
### Range
A range slider has two handles, and indicates a minimum and maximum value in a
range.
```html
```
### Value label
A value label displays the specific value that corresponds with the handle's
placement.
The label appears when the handle is selected. For range sliders, labels appear
when either handle is selected.
```html
```
## Theming
Slider supports [Material theming](../theming/README.md) and can be customized
in terms of color and shape.
