A method which I'm partial to, since its both spaceconsuming and logical,
is used in Photoshop 7: the control consists of a textbox with a numerical
value (say, '100%'), and when you click it with your mouse, a small slider
pops up beneath the mousecursor, where the cursor points to the position of
the current value on the slider.
That approach, on the other hand, has the disadvantage of not showing
you what the reasonable, or permitted, range of values is at a
glance, without clicking the mouse.
Usually, the position of the thumb along a slider or the angle of an
indicator in a rotary control is a hint perceived much faster by your
brain, rather than reading the number, thinking in which units it's
expressed, thinking whether it's a small or a large value, and so
on...
