    panel.add(slider);
    panel.add(label);
    frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setSize(400400);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  }

  public class MyChangeAction implements ChangeListener{
    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent ce){
      int value = slider.getValue();
