# `floatrange` (threshold type)

Thresholds with `type="floatrange"` enable a customizable interval outside which a float result is considered invalid.

This is an example definition:

>         {name="FloatValue", type="floatrange", range={0, 100}, default={10, 100}}

This is how it appears in the result section of the tool panel. The threshold is indicated with a slider with two handles for setting the threshold interval. The value of the result with the same name as the threshold is indicated in the same control:

The current values of a `floatrange`-threshold are accessed via `self.thresholds` in `execute`, which provides a `Threshold` instance. To base the overall result of the tool on the threshold a value for Pass needs to be set in the output:

>       local someValue = getValue()
>       output:add("Pass", self.thresholds.FloatValue:contains(someValue))
