.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.
