# syn-range-tick

## Summary

Ticks visually improve positioning on range sliders.

## Common Use Cases

- Mark key values such as minimum, midpoint, and maximum on a range slider.
- Show meaningful breakpoints for pricing, durations, or configurable thresholds.
- Improve readability of uneven or grouped value scales in advanced range scenarios.
- Provide subdivision markers between primary ticks for better visual orientation.

## Usage Guidelines

### Scale Mapping

- Use syn-range-tick inside the ticks slot of syn-range to visualize value intervals along the slider track.
- Align tick labels with actual slider values so visual markers and range behavior stay consistent.
- Use short, scannable labels for major points such as min, mid, and max values.

### Subdivisions

- Use subdivision ticks to improve orientation between major labeled ticks.
- Avoid labeling every subdivision when it creates visual clutter; prioritize key waypoints.
- Keep spacing patterns predictable to avoid implying incorrect value intervals.

### Layout and Density

- Keep tick density proportional to available width so labels do not overlap on smaller screens.
- Test responsive behavior when using uneven spacing or custom groupings to ensure labels remain readable.
- Do not use ticks as standalone indicators outside a range context where values cannot be interpreted reliably.

## Accessibility

- Treat range ticks as supportive visual markers; do not rely on ticks alone to communicate critical values or state.
- Provide meaningful text labels for major ticks so users can understand the scale together with the range label and value output.
- Ensure tick labels have sufficient contrast and remain readable at all supported sizes and viewport widths.
- When subdivision ticks are unlabeled, ensure major labeled ticks still provide enough context for orientation.
- For precise input scenarios, provide an additional text or numeric input method because ticks are not interactive controls.
