7.4.1 Scroll bars
A scroll bar is used to move the object in the associated window (lists, etc). There are two types of scroll bars,
vertical and horizontal. The vertical scroll bar will be described, but the horizontal scroll bar is analogous.
The scroll bar has five parts to it (see Figure 7-2). An up arrow (A), a top region (B), a thumb button (C), a
bottom region (D), and a down arrow (E). The up arrow moves the associated object in the windows up one
unit. The down arrow moves the object down one unit. The ‘unit’ may be a single line of text or a segment of the
graph. To move the object by this single increment, place the cursor (using the mouse) over either button and
press the left button once.
