Is it possible to set a personnalized increment?

Post by aliasima »

Hi!

I would like to set an increment for my constant in a way that the value is multiplied by 10 when I move the cursor. I would like to change frome 0.001 to 0.01 and from 0.01 to 0.01. Is there a way to do it or is it simply not possible?

Thank you! :D

You could have

Code: Select all

MY CONSTANT = 0.001
my value = 10 * MY CONSTANT
Can you explain exactly why you want to do this?

Because these are values for hydraulic head and it's a lot mpre significant in the field of hydrology to move by times 10. I'm not making much use of the cursor if the interval between min and max is divided by 80 because there would be too many values. My values are between 1E-06 to 1E-2 and I want to modify them by multiplying by 10 so there are only 5 values but the increment is not equal if the value is multiplied by 10.

In other words, you want the constant slider to have a log scale? I agree that would be very useful.
