+# Step Visualization - Final Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+Successfully implemented step visualization for Leva's Number input component with two distinct viewing modes.
+
+## Features Implemented
+
+### ✅ **Core Functionality**
+
+- **Step Visualization**: SVG-based indicators showing step intervals in range sliders
+- **Smart Spacing**: Only displays when steps are at least 3px apart (prevents visual clutter)
+- **Dynamic Width**: Uses ResizeObserver for accurate spacing calculations
+- **Theme Integration**: Uses `currentColor` for consistent theming
+- **Proper Z-Index**: Renders below the indicator bar for correct hierarchy
+
+### ✅ **Two Visualization Modes**
+
+#### 1. Lines Mode
+
+- 1px vertical lines inside the range bar
+- 20% opacity for subtle integration
+- Positioned between min/max bounds
+- Good for precise step indication without UI interference
+
+#### 2. Dots Mode (Currently Active)
+
+- 2px radius circles positioned 8px below the range bar
+- 40% opacity for better visibility
+- Completely separate from main slider UI
+- More prominent visual feedback
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Quick Mode Switch
+
+In `packages/leva/src/plugins/Number/RangeSlider.tsx`:
+
+```javascript
+const STEP_VISUALIZATION_MODE: StepVisualizationMode = 'dots' // or 'lines'
+```
+
+### Spacing Control
+
+```javascript
+const MIN_STEP_SPACING_PX = 3 // Set to 0 to always show, higher to reduce clutter
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+```javascript
+// Wide spacing - shows clear step indicators
+{ value: 5, min: 0, max: 10, step: 1 }
+
+// Medium spacing - shows step indicators
+{ value: 2.5, min: 0, max: 5, step: 0.5 }
+
+// Dense spacing - hides indicators to prevent clutter
+{ value: 50, min: 0, max: 100, step: 1 }
+```
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+Created comprehensive Storybook stories:
+
+- **StepVisualizationWide**: Clear spacing (step: 1, range: 0-10)
+- **StepVisualizationMedium**: Medium spacing (step: 0.5, range: 0-5)
+- **StepVisualizationFine**: Fine spacing (step: 0.25, range: 0-5)
+- **StepVisualizationDense**: Dense case that hides lines (step: 1, range: 0-100)
+- **StepVisualizationVeryDense**: Very dense case (step: 0.01, range: 0-1)
+- **StepVisualizationShowcase**: Multi-control demonstration
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Lines Mode
+
+- SVG positioned absolutely inside the Range component
+- Lines render before the Indicator component (proper z-index)
+- Height spans 100% of the 4px range bar
+- Stroke width: 1px, opacity: 0.2
+
+### Dots Mode
+
+- SVG positioned absolutely below the Range component (top: 100%)
+- Independent 8px height container
+- Circles at 4px vertical center with 2px radius
+- Fill with 0.4 opacity for better visibility
+
+### Performance
+
+- Uses `useMemo` for step calculations
+- ResizeObserver for dynamic width updates
+- Minimal re-renders with proper dependencies
+- Only renders when step spacing is adequate
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. **`RangeSlider.tsx`**: Core implementation with dual mode support
+2. **`Number.stories.tsx`**: Comprehensive test stories
+3. **Documentation**: Complete usage and configuration guide
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Clean, focused implementation that provides two distinct visualization options for step intervals. The dots mode offers better visual separation and prominence, while the lines mode provides subtle integration. Both modes automatically handle spacing density and theme integration.
+
+**Current Status**: ✅ Complete and Ready for Use
+**Current Mode**: 🔵 Dots (easily switchable to Lines)
+**Performance**: 🟢 Optimized with proper memoization
+**Testing**: 🟢 Full Storybook coverage
