RadioButtonBar

Updated In 7 Graphic
RadioButtonBar[x, {val1, val2, ...}]
represents a radio button bar with setting x and with labeled radio buttons for values vali.
RadioButtonBar[Dynamic[x], {val1, val2, ...}]
takes the setting to be the dynamically updated current value of x, with the value of x being reset every time a radio button is pressed.
RadioButtonBar[x, {val1->lbl1, val2->lbl2, ...}]
represents a radio button bar in which the radio button giving value vali is given label lbli.
  • The vali and lbli can be strings, boxes, graphics or any other expressions, including dynamic expressions.
