      <p>
        An NSSliderCell controls the behaviour and appearance of an
        associated NSSlider, or a single slider in an
        NSMatrix. Tick marks are defined in the official
        standard, but are not implemented in GNUstep.
      </p>
      <p>
        An NSSliderCell can be customized through its
        <code>set...</code> methods. If these do not provide
        enough customization, a subclass can be created, which
        overrides any of the follwing methods:
        <code>knobRectFlipped:</code>,
        <code>drawBarInside:flipped:</code>,
        <code>drawKnob:</code>, or
        <code>prefersTrackingUntilMouseUp</code>.
