Part I: Getting Started
Figure 1-9: A horizontal scroll bar on a computer.
To overcome the practical realities of screen size on a phone that will fit into
your pocket, the Windows Phone embraces a panorama screen layout. Figure
1-10 represents a panorama screen layout. The full width of the screen is
accessible, but only the part bounded by the screen of the Windows Phone is
visible on the display.

To see more of the screen, you have several choices: pan, flicks, pinch and
stretch, and double taps. I cover all these in the following sections.
Pan
The simplest finger motion on the phone is the pan. You place your finger on
a point on the screen and your finger drags the image on the screen until you
lift your finger. Figure 1-11 shows what the motion looks like.
The pan motion allows you to move slowly around the panorama. This
motion is like clicking on the scroll bar and moving it slowly.
