In our custom module I’d like to include sliders to perform a rotation transform. [This post](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/how-to-do-custom-rotation-sliders-and-transformation-buttons-with-python/19747/1) suggests reusing the slicer.qMRMLTransformSliders widget is the way to go but I can’t seem to access some of the properties from python. The setTypeOfTransform method is not available and If I try to set the TransformType property using Qt syntax I get an attribute error:

> t.TransformType = slicer.qMRMLTransformSliders.ROTATION  
> Traceback (most recent call last):  
> AttributeError: Enum ‘TransformType’ can not be overwritten on qMRMLTransformSliders object

Nor can I access the minMaxVisible property to configure the widget manually.  
Maybe I’m going about this the wrong way? Any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks

Looks like you need to set `TypeOfTransform` to one of the `TransformType` values.

`minMaxVisible` is available to me:

```auto
>>> t = slicer.qMRMLTransformSliders()
>>> t.minMaxVisible
True

```
