I want to set the default value for my slider and start the thumb of the slider from that value only.
Any suggestions???
Thanks,

You can set the lowest potential value via the minimumValue method, the highest via the maximumValue method and the current value via the value method, all of which expect the value to be expressed as a float between 0.0 and 1.0.
See the UISlider class reference docs for more information.

I was reading through an article about BSP (Binary space partitioning) because I am looking to implement it into my project. I came across this line of code:
let max:Int = (splitH ? height : width) - Int(min)
Where splitH is a Boolean value and height/width are integers. What is this line doing? What calculation is it making? I have never seen anything like this in swift.
More specifically, what is this operation: (splitH ? height : width)
if splitH is true, it picks height otherwise it picks width, and then subtracts the value Int(min) from the picked value.
Its usual syntax is conditional ? statement if conditional is true : statement if conditional is false

Reset color property of SKSpriteNode?

What's the default color value of SKSpriteNode?
It's not mentioned in the Apple docs, and comparing the default property to nil or UIColor.white returns false, suggesting it's neither of these.
The goal is to reset a node's color to the default value after running a SKAction.colorize animation on it.
Setting colorBlendFactor to 0 causes the color property to get ignored.
The value must be a number between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive. The default
value (0.0) indicates the color property is ignored and that the
texture’s values should be used unmodified. For values greater than
0.0, the texture is blended with the color before being drawn to the scene.
This option solves the problem, but doesn't answer the question of the default color value.
Hopefully someone else posts a definitive answer to the question.

What does .f mean in CGSize in Objective-C? [duplicate]

"f" after number

This must be in documentation somewhere but I cannot find it. What does the .f mean when defining rectangles using CGSizeMake as in CGSizeMake(200.0f, 100.0f);?
.f means that value is float.
if you write directly 1.0 it is initialized as double.
to use less space 1.0f is better.

How to set a maximum and minimum value for a WKInterfaceSlider programmatically?

I know it is possible to set values through Attribute Inspector. However, the range of the slider needs to change according to the data that comes from the server. In this case, hard coding the values isn't an option. Is there any way to set it programmatically?
The WKInterfaceSlider documentation from Apple indicates that it is not possible to change the minimum and maximum values of a WKInterfaceSlider programmatically—these can only be set in Interface Builder.
However, functionally this does not matter, because a WKInterfaceSlider is a visual bar of colour that is filled with color as the user rolls the digital crown. Programatically, you read back the value of the slider, which is reported as a number that is between the minimum and maximum values, based on the proportion of the slider that is filled. However, the slider itself does not display a value to the end user.
Therefore, you can achieve something exactly analogous to changing the minimum and maximum values of the slider, simply by storing those values in properties and calculating offset and multiplier properties that you apply to the value returned from the slider.
Create a slider in Interface Builder, with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 100. (These values could in fact be anything, but this is the most simple solution as the values can then be directly read as percentages.)
Create minimumValue and maximumValue properties in your WatchKit App Extension.
Calculate a multiplier value calculated as (maximumValue - minimumValue)/100.
When you read a value from the WKInterfaceSlider, simply calculate it as (WKInterfaceSliderValue * multiplier) + minimumValue.
At any time, you can change the minimumValue and maximumValue properties and you will get values in your new desired range from 4.
Note there is also a method to change the number of steps set programatically between the minimum and maximum values, using the method setNumberOfSteps(_:). This does not affect the calculation above but of course does affect the possible values that the slider will return to you within that range.

how to position thumb of Slider according to preferred duration in iOS

I have a custom slider whose min and max values are 0 and 1 respectively.
I want to set the thumb at a particular duration(at 1s) of the file. How do I do that calculation? Currently, I'm multiplying the slider value with the total duration of file to get the desired position.
But, now depending on my preference, how do I set the thumb?
Please advise.
The easiest thing would be to set the max value of the slider to the length of your file. It's a settable property, so just
slider.maximumValue = fileDuration;
would work. Then, you can just set the value for however long into the file you want.
If you can't do that for other reasons, you need to normalize the position you want by the file length (that is, divide the position you want by the file duration to find the value):
slider.value = (desiredPosition / fileDuration);
Note that with this, if desiredPosition is the entire length of the file, you get 1 (the maximum value of the slider by default)
