Description Bastien Nocera 2009-05-15 11:04:58 UTC 
This would require changes to GtkRange and GtkScale.

I think this could be achieved by:
- having a "discrete-values" property in GtkRange, which would change the snap calculation in update_slider_position()
- adding accessors and setters in GtkScale to set the values, without drawing the marks.

Do we want to either:
- always show marks when discrete values are used
- have the discrete stop positions be independent of the marks (separate API?)

Something similar can be achieved by having the bounds set to 0/num_stops and set_digits to 0.

Isn't the bottom horizontal scale in gtk3-widget-factory showing exactly what you want ? Thats done by setting round-digits to 0
