======================================
Thresholding an Image with RangeSlider
======================================
Using the RangeSlider widget to control the thresholding of an image.
The RangeSlider widget can be used similarly to the `.widgets.Slider`
widget. The major difference is that RangeSlider's ``val`` attribute
is a tuple of floats ``(lower val, upper val)`` rather than a single float.
See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/slider_demo` for an example of using
a ``Slider`` to control a single float.
See :doc:`/gallery/widgets/slider_snap_demo` for an example of having
the ``Slider`` snap to discrete values.

upper_limit_line = axs[1].axvline(slider.val[1], color='k')

# The val passed to a callback by the RangeSlider will
# be a tuple of (min, max)
# Update the image's colormap
