ABSTRACT:
A system and method for smooth scrolling a document and/or window within a graphical user interface is disclosed. The present invention in some preferred embodiments permits augmentation of traditional LINE UP/DOWN, PAGE UP/DOWN, and manual THUMBTRACK scrolling with a smooth scrolling alternative that augments additional hardware input features that may be present on several user input devices such a mouse, trackball, touchpad, Thinkpoint™ pointing device and the like. The present invention generally solves the problem associated with providing the user the proper degree of scrolling feedback within the graphical user environment, irrespective of the size of the document being viewed.
