I found an example of java swing that combines text input with a slider. When you change the slider, the text changes and if you change the text directly, the slider updates. I was able to stick it directly into my code by adding a tab and then instantiating that class(I think that’s what its called when you use a class). There is one big problem though and that is that it only works with integers, but I have an idea. I found another example that also ties text/slider together and it uses Double.
Here’s the link to the integer example:
