Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: How to change a value in a browser component

How you change a value in a browser component depends on what kind of component it is.

For a Boolean (yes/no) component, change the value by clicking on either the yes or the no radio button.

For a Simple number component (an integer or real single value, or an array of real values), click on the slider(s) and drag the mouse to the left or right to change the value, or click on the value under the slider(s) and edit the value in the window that appears. For an array component, change which value is listed under the sliders by clicking on another slider, or by pressing the Tab key on the keyboard.
