The slider supports two levels of tick marks, major and minor. Typically, the minor tick-mark spacing is smaller than the major tick-mark spacing. Also, the minor tick-mark spacing is a multiple of the major tick-mark spacing. However, the slider does not enforce any of these constraints.
// Create a horizontal slider that moves left-to-right
JSlider slider = new JSlider();
// Determine if currently showing ticks
boolean b = slider.getPaintTicks(); // false
// Show tick marks
slider.setPaintTicks(true);
// Set major tick marks every 25 units
int tickSpacing = 25;
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(tickSpacing);
// Set minor tick marks every 5 units
tickSpacing = 5;
slider.setMinorTickSpacing(tickSpacing);
