# minimumValueImage

The image that represents the slider’s minimum value.

```
var minimumValueImage: UIImage? { get set }
```

## Discussion

The image you specify must fit within the bounding rectangle returned by the [`minimumValueImageRect(forBounds:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UISlider/minimumValueImageRect(forBounds:)) method. If it doesn’t, the slider scales the image to fit. In addition, the slider lengthens or shortens its track as needed to accommodate the image in its bounding rectangle.

Because *minimum* is a semantic concept, in a right-to-left user interface, the slider automatically flips the image placement, always placing it at the leading end of the slider’s track.

The default value of this property is `nil`.

> Important:
> This property isn’t available when the user interface idiom is ``doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIUserInterfaceIdiom/mac`` and ``doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UISlider/behavioralStyle`` is ``doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIBehavioralStyle/mac`` — setting it while in this state throws an exception.
