Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention 1 _Technical field: The invention 4 is related to the field of data processing using a graphical user interface, and More specifically, it relates to a graphical user interface that uses a scroll axis to manipulate a data file in a display window of a graphical user interface. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to an enhanced scroll axis that allows a user to quickly locate one of many specific chapters in a document in the form of a drawing. 2. Description of skills: In the early days of personal computers, it was difficult to browse or edit a document. Documents often occupy up to several screens of information .. Many specific chapters in the document are quite difficult. Users often designate the function keys for the "up-roll, and, down-roll" function, one by one-camp screen volume = a whole document, to find a specific chapter by a often futile attempt. Success is slow and cumbersome, causing many users to print out the entire copy, instead of trying to view it on the display. This is a rare natural resource / good fee, and it often shows that it needs to be achieved— The goal of a paperless office is to take a big step back. Some early editors tried to partially solve this problem by providing a " search " or " find, ”function. Although a little help, But these functions depend on the user knowing a specific (and theoretically, ―) word or string contained in the specific chapter he is looking for. This method often becomes a kind of guessing game for users, and Often it will cause users to give up again and print out a complete copy. And many users simply do not know (or do not remember) any specific words or strings in the chapter they are looking for. _____________ * 4-This paper Standard Finance (CNS) --------- 1 clothing ------, order ------: (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the employee consumer cooperative M ——————— B7 V.
