<para>
A Scrollbar widget is a rectangle, called the ``canvas,'' on
which another rectangle, the ``thumb,'' moves in one
dimension, either vertically or horizontally.  A Scrollbar
can be used alone, as a value generator, or it can be used
within a composite widget (for example, a Viewport).  When a
Scrollbar is used to move, or ``scroll,'' the contents of
another widget, the size and the position of the thumb usually give
feedback as to what portion of the other widget's contents
are visible.
</para>

<para>
Each pointer button invokes a specific action.  Pointer
buttons 1 and 3 do not move the thumb automatically.
Instead, they return the pixel position of the cursor on the
scroll region.  When pointer button 2 is clicked, the thumb
moves to the current pointer position.  When pointer button
2 is held down and the pointer is moved, the thumb follows
the pointer.
</para>

<para>
The pointer cursor in the scroll region changes depending on the current
action.  When no pointer button is pressed, the cursor appears as a
double-headed arrow that points in the direction that scrolling can
occur.  When pointer button 1 or 3 is pressed, the cursor appears as a
single-headed arrow that points in the logical direction that the thumb
will move.  When pointer button 2 is pressed, the cursor
appears as an arrow that points to the top or the left of the thumb.
</para>

<para>
When the user scrolls, the application receives notification
through callback procedures.  For both discrete scrolling actions, the
callback returns the Scrollbar widget, the client_data, and the pixel
position of the pointer when the button was released.  For continuous
scrolling, the callback routine returns the scroll bar widget, the
client data, and the current relative position of the thumb.  When the
thumb is moved using pointer button 2, the callback procedure is invoked
continuously.  When either button 1 or 3 is pressed, the callback
procedure is invoked only when the button is released and the client
callback procedure is responsible for moving the thumb.
</para>

<para>
The <function>scrollProc</function> callback is used for incremental scrolling
and is called by the <function>NotifyScroll</function> action.
The position argument is a signed quantity and should be cast to an int
when used. Using the default button bindings, button 1 returns a
positive value, and button 3 returns a negative value. In both cases,
the magnitude of the value is the distance of the pointer in
pixels from the top (or left) of the Scrollbar. The value will never
be greater than the length of the Scrollbar.

The <function>shown</function> and <function>topOfThumb</function> resources are of type
<emphasis remap='I'>float</emphasis>.  These resources can be difficult to get into an

getting a float into an argument list.
