-===== Interface Controls ===== 
-

-==== Sliders ==== 
-One of the first thing you will probably notice about Lys are the sliders and how many of them there are. 
- 
-Each slider within Lys has 2 states: 
-  * The first is un-highlighted,​ which mean the slider is not currently in use. 
-  * The second is highlighted to show that the slider is currently active and may be used to adjust values. 
- 
-  
- 
- 
-Using the sliders is simple and you can adjust many of the settings within Lys simply by moving the corresponding slider to the left or right to increase and decrease its value, which is shown within a spinner.

-==== Spinners ==== 
-Spinners are used to show the current value of their corresponding slider. You can increase and decrease this value by using the up/down arrows on the right hand side of each spinner or by double clicking the box and adding the number manually. 
- 
-  
- 
-There are three types of values that use spinners in Lys: 
-  * Integer based value 
-  * Floating point based value 
-  * Percentile based value 
- 
-  
- 
-The integer based values range from anywhere between 0-1 to ±180 with an exception of the Luminance and Camera Altitude options in Clear Sky, which go to 10000 & 60000 respectively. 
- 
-{{https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​docs.knaldtech.com/​docuwiki/​spinner_int_ani.gif?​nolink|}} 
- 
-The floating point based values have increased accuracy when compared to the integer based spinners as they contain several decimal places of precision. These range from anywhere between 0.0014-16.00 and are used when integer based spinners would causes a loss of control or quality within Lys. 
- 
-{{https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​docs.knaldtech.com/​docuwiki/​spinner_float_ani.gif?​nolink|}} 
- 
-The percentile based value ranges from 0-1000% and is used to control the intensity of various options where a greater range is of benefit.
