Can I make matplotlib sliders more discrete?

Question

I\'m using matplotlib sliders, similar to this demo. The sliders currently use 2 decimal places and \'feel\' quite continuous (though they have to be discrete on some level)

Answer 1

If you would rather not subclass the Slider, I picked a few lines off @Joe Kington's answer to accomplish the discretization within the callback function:

sldr = Slider(ax,'name',0.,5.,valinit=0.,valfmt="%i")
sldr.on_changed(partial(set_slider,sldr))

and then:

def set_slider(s,val):
    s.val = round(val)
    s.poly.xy[2] = s.val,1
    s.poly.xy[3] = s.val,0
    s.valtext.set_text(s.valfmt % s.val)
