.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBttk::scrollbar\fR widgets are typically linked to an associated window that
-displays a document of some sort, such as a file being edited or a drawing. A
-scrollbar displays a \fIthumb\fR in the middle portion of the scrollbar, whose
-position and size provides information about the portion of the document
-visible in the associated window. The thumb may be dragged by the user to
-control the visible region. Depending on the theme, two or more arrow buttons
-may also be present; these are used to scroll the visible region in discrete
-units.
