ProgressIndicator

ProgressIndicator[x]

represents a progress indicator with setting x in the range 0 to 1.

ProgressIndicator[Dynamic[x]]

takes the setting to be the dynamically updated current value of x.

ProgressIndicator[x,{xmin,xmax}]

represents a progress indicator with range xmin to xmax.

ProgressIndicator[x,Indeterminate]

represents a progress indicator with indeterminate range.

Details and Options

  • ProgressIndicator[…] displays in a notebook as a progress indicator going from left to right; it does not allow interactive modification.
  • ProgressIndicator[x,Indeterminate] displays as an object that changes whenever x changes. »
  • The following options can be given:
  • Appearance Automaticthe overall appearance of the progress indicator
    BaselinePosition Automaticalignment relative to surrounding text
    BaseStyle{}base style for the progress indicator
    ImageMargins 0margins around the image of the progress indicator
    ImageSize Automaticthe overall image size of the progress indicator
  • ProgressIndicator[] is equivalent to ProgressIndicator[0].
  • ProgressIndicator[Appearance->val] can create an indeterminate progress indicator that runs constantly. Settings for val that create such indicators include:
  • "Indeterminate"
    "Necklace"{}[[3]]
    "ArcUp"{}[[3]]
    "ArcDown"{}[[3]]
    "ArcUpFill"{}[[3]]
    "Percolate"{}[[3]]
    "Ellipsis"{}[[3]]
  • The settings for BaseStyle are appended to the default style typically given by the "ProgressIndicator" style in the current stylesheet.
