GimpUi.ScaleEntry.set_bounds

### Method

# GimpUi ScaleEntryset_bounds

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    gimp_scale_entry_set_bounds (
      GimpScaleEntry* entry,
      gdouble lower,
      gdouble upper,
      gboolean limit_scale
    )

#### Description [src]

By default the `GtkSpinButton` and `GtkScale` will have the same range. In some case, you want to set a different range. In particular when the finale range is huge, the `GtkScale` might become nearly useless as every tiny slider move would dramatically update the value. In this case, it is common to set the `GtkScale` to a smaller common range, while the `GtkSpinButton` would allow for the full allowed range. This function allows this. Obviously the `GtkAdjustment` of both widgets would be synced but if the set value is out of the `GtkScale` range, the slider would simply show at one extreme.

If `limit_scale` is `FALSE` though, it would sync back both widgets range to the new values.

Note that the step and page increments are updated when the range is updated according to some common usage algorithm which should work if you don’t have very specific needs. If you want to customize the step increments yourself, you may call gimp_label_spin_set_increments().

#### Parameters

`lower`

  Type: `gdouble`

  The lower value for the whole widget if `limit_scale` is `FALSE`, or only for the `GtkScale` if `TRUE`.

`upper`

  Type: `gdouble`

  The upper value for the whole widget if `limit_scale` is `FALSE`, or only for the `GtkSpinButton` if `TRUE`.

`limit_scale`

  Type: `gboolean`

  Whether the range should only apply to the `GtkScale` or if it should share its `GtkAdjustement` with the `GtkSpinButton`. If `TRUE`, both `lower` and `upper` must be included in current `GtkSpinButton` range.
