   //
   // We need to be able to tell Qt about our minimum and preferred size in pixels.  This is something that's going
   // to depend on the dots-per-inch (DPI) resolution of the monitor we're being displayed on.  Advice at
   // https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html is that, for best High DPI display support, we should replace hard-coded
   // sizes in layouts and drawing code with values calculated from font metrics or screen size.  For this widget, we
   // use font sizes (as described in more detail later in this comment) as it seems simpler and the height of the
   // widget really is determined by the size of the text it contains.
   //
   // In theory, someone might be running the app on a system with multiple screens with different DPI resolutions,
   // so, in principle we ought to do redo size calculations every time the widget is moved, in case it moves from one
   // screen to another and the resolution changes.  In practice, I'm not sure how big a requirement this is.  So, for
   // now, have just tried to organise things so that it would, in principle, be possible to implement such behaviour
   // in future.
   //
   // We want height to be fixed, as the slider does not get more readable if you make it taller.  So minimum and
   // preferred height are the same.
   //
   // For width, We are OK for them to expand and contract horizontally, within reason, as the size of the main window
   // changes.  Minimum and preferred widths are a bit of a rule-of-thumb, but 2× and 4× height are a sensible stab.
   //
   // Firstly we have to determine what the fixed height is.  We could query the DPI resolution and size of the current
   // screen, but the simplest thing is to use font sizes.  The slider is basically two lines of characters high.  Top
   // line is the "indicator" text that sits above the slider visual in the middle of the "preferred range".  Bottom
   // line is the slider visual and the "value" text that sits to the right of the slider visual.  The fonts for both
   // bits of text are set in device-independent points in the constructor, and we can just query their height etc in
   // pixels.
   //
   // Secondly, the way we tell Qt about minimum and preferred sizes is slightly different:
   //  • setMinimumSize() tells Qt not to make us smaller than the specified size when resizing windows etc, HOWEVER
   //    it does not determine what size we are initially drawn
   //  • instead, Qt calls sizeHint() when doing initial layout, and we must override this to supply our desired
   //    initial dimensions.  NB: Although it makes no sense, there is nothing to stop this method returning dimensions
   //    below the minimums already set via setMinimumSize().  (AIUI, sizeHint() is also called on resize events to
   //    find our preferred dimensions.)
   //
   // The final wrinkle is that the height of the font sort of depends what you mean.  Strictly, using the inter-line
   // spacing (= height plus leading, though the latter is often 0) gives you enough space to show any character of the
   // font.  It is helpful for the indicator text to have a bit of space below it before we draw the graphical bit, and
   // it's not a large font in any case.  However, for large value text font we don't necessarily need all this space
   // because we currently only show digits and decimal points, which don't require space below the baseline.  However,
   // assumptions about space below the baseline are locale-specific, so, say, using ascent() instead of lineSpacing()
   // could end up painting us into a corner.
