<p>Switches allow the user to select options. There are three kinds of switches: checkboxes, radio
|
|
buttons, and on/off switches.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="checkboxes">Checkboxes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Checkboxes allow the user to select multiple options from a set. Avoid using a single checkbox to
|
|
turn an option off or on. Instead, use an on/off switch.</p>

<h2 id="radio-buttons">Radio Buttons</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Radio buttons allow the user to select one option from a set. Use radio buttons for exclusive
|
|
selection if you think that the user needs to see all available options side-by-side. Otherwise,
|
|
consider a spinner, which uses less space.</p>

<h2 id="switches">On/off Switches</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>On/off switches toggle the state of a single settings option.</p>
