     *  The track is sized based on the length of the labels and on the track margin.
     *  If you specify a <code>trackMargin</code>, then the size of the track
     *  is equal to the available width minus the <code>trackMargin</code> times 2.
     *
     *  <p>Tick marks are spaced at even intervals along the track starting from the beginning of the track. An additional tick mark is placed
     *  at the end of the track if one doesn't already exist (if the tick interval isn't a factor of the maximum value). The tick mark
     *  y-position is based on the <code>tickOffset</code>. An offset of 0 places the bottom of the tick at the top of the track. Negative offsets
     *  move the ticks upwards while positive offsets move them downward through the track.</p>
     *
     *  <p>Labels are positioned at even intervals along the track. The labels are always horizontally centered above their
     *  interval position unless the <code>trackMargin</code> setting is too small. If you specify a <code>trackMargin</code>, then the first and last labels will
     *  position themselves at the left and right borders of the control. Labels will not crop or resize themselves if they overlap,
     *  so be sure to allow enough space for them to fit on the track. The y-position is based on the <code>labelOffset</code> property. An offset of 0
     *  places the bottom of the label at the top of the track. Unlike tick marks, the labels can not be positioned to overlap the track.
     *  If the offset is a positive number, then the top of the label will be positioned below the bottom of the track.</p>
     *
     *  <p>The thumbs are positioned to overlap the track. Their x-position is determined by their value. The y-position is
     *  controlled by the <code>thumbOffset</code> property. An offset of 0 places the center of the thumb at the center of the track. A negative
     *  offset moves the thumbs upwards while a positive offset moves the thumbs downwards.</p>
     *
     *  <p>The placement of the tick marks, labels and thumbs are all independent from each other. They will not attempt to reposition
     *  themselves if they overlap.</p>
     *
     *  <p>For a vertical slider control, the same rules apply. In the above description, substitute width for height, height for width,
     *  left for up or top, right for down or bottom, x-position for y-position, and y-position for x-position.</p>
