Is there a decimal range for PySimpleGUI sliders? - slider

Question

I need some way to display a decimal value above my slider in PySimpleGUI.
I have already tried putting decimal values, but it throws an error when I do that.
import PySimpleGUI as sg
layout = [sg.Slider(range=(850,999), default_value=997, size=(40,15), orientation='horizontal')]
I want it to display decimal values when sliding through the range, but right now all it does is put it as 850 or 999, instead of 85.0 and 99.9.

Sure, you just need to define your range to be 85 to 99 and set a resolution of .1
layout = [[sg.Slider(range=(85.0,99.9), default_value=99.7, resolution=.1, size=(40,15), orientation='horizontal')]]
It's discussed in the docs here:
https://pysimplegui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#slider-element
The docstrings, shown in your IDE, also show that the range can be float and lists the other value as potentially being float as well. If they don't show up in your IDE, use Python's help system
