Abstract
A slider control cooperates with a viewport of a graphic user interface interactive application in which information is displayed. The invention is applicable where this information is divisible into a series of information vectors of varying lengths, at least some of which are longer than the length of the viewport in a direction parallel to said vectors. The slider control according to the invention is adapted to display the degree to which these vectors exceed said viewport length.
