JavaFX - Logarithmic Slider Tick Marks

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to make a JavaFX Slider to show logaritmically spaced tick marks. I suspect there is none. If this is the case what would be the best way to go about implementing this do you think? I should mention that I have seen this but the accepted answer is not what I want.

So what I know is possible is this:

But I want are tick marks spaced like this: http://www.dplot.com/logarithmic/loglin_h600.png

That the tick marks show their respective values is not important.

Thanks for your time.

You would need to write a new SliderSkin implementation... — James_D
The skin for the slider... docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/javafx/scene/control/skin/… See also the "Architecture" section in the javafx.scene.control documentation. — James_D
Hmm okay, have never heard of that before. Will look into it! — Ivar Eriksson

You can use a linear Slider with linear tick marks and every time you get a result you calculate the logarithmus of it and work with that.
