 -   name  
Parent:layout.sliders[]
Type: stringWhen used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array. You can modify these items in the output figure by making your own item with `templateitemname` matching this `name` alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). Has no effect outside of a template.
 -   pad  
Parent:layout.sliders[]
Type: struct containing one or more of the keys listed below.Set the padding of the slider component along each side.
-   b  
Parent:layout.sliders[].pad
Type: number
Default:0The amount of padding (in px) along the bottom of the component.

Parent:layout.sliders[].pad
Type: number
Default:0The amount of padding (in px) on the left side of the component.

Parent:layout.sliders[].pad
Type: number
Default:0The amount of padding (in px) on the right side of the component.
 -   t  
Parent:layout.sliders[].pad

 -   b  
 -   steps  
Parent:layout.sliders[]
Type: cell array of struct where each struct has one or more of the keys listed below.-   args  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: cell arraySets the arguments values to be passed to the Plotly method set in `method` on slide.
 -   execute  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: boolean
Default:trueWhen true, the API method is executed. When false, all other behaviors are the same and command execution is skipped. This may be useful when hooking into, for example, the `plotly_sliderchange` method and executing the API command manually without losing the benefit of the slider automatically binding to the state of the plot through the specification of `method` and `args`.
 -   label  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: stringSets the text label to appear on the slider
 -   method  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: enumerated , one of ('restyle'|'relayout'|'animate'|'update'|'skip')
Default:'restyle'Sets the Plotly method to be called when the slider value is changed. If the `skip` method is used, the API slider will function as normal but will perform no API calls and will not bind automatically to state updates. This may be used to create a component interface and attach to slider events manually via JavaScript.
 -   name  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: stringWhen used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array. You can modify these items in the output figure by making your own item with `templateitemname` matching this `name` alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). Has no effect outside of a template.
 -   templateitemname  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: stringUsed to refer to a named item in this array in the template. Named items from the template will be created even without a matching item in the input figure, but you can modify one by making an item with `templateitemname` matching its `name`, alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: true`.
 -   value  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: stringSets the value of the slider step, used to refer to the step programatically. Defaults to the slider label if not provided.
 -   visible  
Parent:layout.sliders[].steps[]
Type: boolean
Default:trueDetermines whether or not this step is included in the slider.
 
 -   args  
 -   templateitemname  
Parent:layout.sliders[]
Type: stringUsed to refer to a named item in this array in the template. Named items from the template will be created even without a matching item in the input figure, but you can modify one by making an item with `templateitemname` matching its `name`, alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: true`.
