Description

Currently there is no way to update the min/max values for an ofxSliderGroup like with the 'regular' ofxSlider. I have a vec2 slider which range is dependent on another slider so I need to be able to update it dynamically.

I don't think adding this has any drawbacks so if there are no objections I could submit a PR.

Of course, it would even be nicer if the sliders could automatically update whenever min/max values change on the underlying parameter since (to me at least) that is the actual data, the sliders only being a view upon them.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by locating the ofxSliderGroup implementation and the existing min/max update API on ofxSlider, then inspect how the group's vec2 sliders receive parameter changes. Done means a group can update its min/max range dynamically, with coverage for a range that depends on another slider.
