TOOL BAR

  

ØTOOL BAR:

        A toolbar is an element of a Graphical User Interface system. It's a series of buttons which can be clicked to invoke specific commands. The toolbar, also called a bar or standard toolbar (originally known as ribbon)is a graphical control element on which on-screen icons can be used. A toolbar often allows for quick access to functions that are commonly used in the program. Some examples of functions a toolbar might have are open file, save, and change font. Toolbars are usually distinguished from palettes by their integration into the edges of the screen or of other windows. This can result in wasted space if multiple under populated bars are stacked atop each other or interface inefficiency if overloaded bars are placed on small windows. Normally, the toolbars are arranged either horizontally or vertically and are located near the edges of the application window, so that the user can work and simultaneously have one click access to commonly used commands.
