# minValue

The minimum value the slider can send to its target.

```
var minValue: Double { get set }
```

## Discussion

A horizontal slider sends the minimum value when the knob is all the way to the leading end of the bar. A vertical slider sends the minimum value when its knob is at the bottom.
