How to make the slider longer?

Question

Hi,
I want to add a slider in my code, but the slider is too short to choose the number.
Could anyone tell me how to make it? Thank you!
The following is my code.
slider1.setMin(0);
slider1.setMax(100);
slider1.setValue(10);
slider1.setShowTickLabels(true);
slider1.setShowTickMarks(true);
slider1.setMajorTickUnit(10);
slider1.setMinorTickCount(10);
slider1.setBlockIncrement(1);
slider1.setLayoutX(50);
slider1.setLayoutY(20);

This seems fine to me. Can you explain more what the problem is you are seeing? If you want the slider to be longer, you can manually size it (set the prefWidth, as in the following example). If that is indeed the problem, then I would suggest you look into one of the layout panes shipped with the platform which will help with making sure it is resized as you would expect.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Slider;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
        Group root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        Slider slider1 = new Slider();
        slider1.setMin(0);
        slider1.setMax(100);
        slider1.setValue(10);
        slider1.setShowTickLabels(true);
        slider1.setShowTickMarks(true);
        slider1.setMajorTickUnit(10);
        slider1.setMinorTickCount(10);
        slider1.setBlockIncrement(1);
        slider1.setLayoutX(50);
        slider1.setLayoutY(20);
        slider1.setPrefWidth(400);
        root.getChildren().add(slider1);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
}
