Customizing Slider Widget

[fishbackp]

I'm using a Slider widget to horizontally scroll through the heatmap of a 4-by-10000 matrix. Each window in my slider shows 100 columns of the matrix. Each sample corresponds to a time in seconds, which is the sample number divided by the sampling frequency, fs=200. Thus, sample number 10000 corresponds to 50 seconds.

I can relabel the horizontal axis tickmarks of my scrolling plot to be in seconds, but I wish to do the same for the shown slider value. Here's what I have:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.widgets import Slider   num_samples=10000 M=np.random.rand(4,num_samples) scroll_win_size=100   fs=200 #sampling frequency, measured in samples per second.   fig, ax = plt.subplots() plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.25)   plt.imshow(M,aspect='auto',cmap='jet') plt.colorbar()   axpos = plt.axes([0.2, 0.1, 0.65, 0.03], facecolor='lightgoldenrodyellow') spos = Slider(axpos, 'time', 0, num_samples-scroll_win_size,valinit=0,valstep=10)     def update(val):     pos = spos.val     if val < num_samples-scroll_win_size:       ax.axis([pos,pos+scroll_win_size,0,3])       ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(plt.MaxNLocator(5)) #Specify 5 tickmarks at a time.       xticks = ax.get_xticks()*1/fs #Scale tickmarks to be labelled in seconds.       ax.set_xticklabels(np.around(xticks,1))       fig.canvas.draw_idle()   spos.on_changed(update)   plt.show()

I want the value on the slider to be labelled in seconds, not by sample number.
