Abstract
Systems and methods disclosed herein accept a user-selected adjustment position associated with a value-selection display screen widget. A non-linear calculation is performed on the user-selected adjustment position, a length of the screen widget, a smallest represented value associated with a range of values, a largest represented value associated with a range of values, and/or an adjustment granularity associated with the display screen widget. The non-linear calculation determines a selected value corresponding to the user-selected adjustment position. The selected value is then sent to a physical output device. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
