        });
    },
    hapticFeedbackType: HapticFeedbackType.vibrate,

To use Line Slider with displaying double value:

WheelSlider(
    interval: 0.5,  // this field is used to show decimal/double values
    totalCount: _totalCount,
    initValue: _initValue,
    onValueChanged: (val) {
        setState(() {
          _currentValue = val;
        });
    },
    hapticFeedbackType: HapticFeedbackType.vibrate,
),

To use Number Slider:

WheelSlider.number(
    perspective: 0.01,
    totalCount: _nTotalCount,
    initValue: _nInitValue,
    unSelectedNumberStyle: const TextStyle(
        fontSize: 12.0,
        color: Colors.black54,
    ),
    currentIndex: _nCurrentValue,
    onValueChanged: (val) {
        setState(() {
          _nCurrentValue = val;
        });
    },
    hapticFeedbackType: HapticFeedbackType.heavyImpact,
),

        child: FlutterLogo(
            size: 100,
        ),
    )),
    onValueChanged: (val) {
        setState(() {
