The Custom Slide Toolbar is used to make a custom slide. From left to right:
 
* position function of x used to calculate the horizontal position of each mark along the slide or stator (the range of this function should be 0 to 1)
 
* position function of x used to calculate the horizontal position of each mark along the slide or stator (the range of this function should be 0 to 1)
 
* label function of x used to calculate a label for each mark (often identity)
 
* label function of x used to calculate a label for each mark (often identity)
 
* result function of x used to read a value from the slide or stator (usually the inverse of the position function)
