Several buttons or labels are stacked upon one another. At most one of them can be "active". When a button is active the space below the button is used to display a paned window. The pane is usually constrained by the width of labels. When opened it shifts labels under the clicked label down according to the height of that window. Only one button or pane combination can be active at any one time; when a button is selected any other active panes cease to be active and are hidden. The active pane may have scrollbars.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity?
Is God by definition indifferent, beyond us all?
Is the eternal truth man’s fighting soul
Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?”
—Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
