- /**
- * Defines the data model used by components like Sliders and ProgressBars.
- * Defines four interrelated integer properties: minimum, maximum, extent
- * and value. These four integers define two nested ranges like this:
- * <pre>
- * minimum <= value <= value+extent <= maximum
- * </pre>
- * The outer range is <code>minimum,maximum</code> and the inner
- * range is <code>value,value+extent</code>. The inner range
- * must lie within the outer one, i.e. <code>value</code> must be
- * less than or equal to <code>maximum</code> and <code>value+extent</code>
- * must greater than or equal to <code>minimum</code>, and <code>maximum</code>
- * must be greater than or equal to <code>minimum</code>.
- * There are a few features of this model that one might find a little
- * surprising. These quirks exist for the convenience of the
- * Swing BoundedRangeModel clients like like Slider and ScrollBar.
- * <ul>
- * <li>
- * The minimum and maximum set methods "correct" the other
- * three properties to acommodate their new value argument. For
- * example setting the model's minimum may change its maximum, value,
- * and extent properties (in that order), to maintain the constraints
- * specified above.
- *
- * <li>
- * The value and extent set methods "correct" their argument to
- * fit within the limits defined by the other three properties.
- * For example if <code>value == maximum</code>, <code>setExtent(10)</code>
- * would change the extent (back) to zero.
- *
- * <li>
- * The four BoundedRangeModel values are defined as Java Beans properties
- * however Swing ChangeEvents are used to notify clients of changes rather
- * than PropertyChangeEvents. This was done to keep the overhead of monitoring
- * a BoundedRangeModel low. Changes are often reported at MouseDragged rates.
- * </ul>
