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)
* result function of x used to read a value from the slide or stator (usually the inverse of the position function)
* result function of x used to read a value from the slide or stator at the cursor or reticule (usually the inverse of the position function)
* 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)
* the minimum value of x used in the functions domains
* the minimum value of x used in the functions domains
