@defvar indicate-buffer-boundaries
This buffer-local variable controls how the buffer boundaries and
window scrolling are indicated in the window fringes.

Emacs can indicate the buffer boundaries---that is, the first and last
line in the buffer---with angle icons when they appear on the screen.
In addition, Emacs can display an up-arrow in the fringe to show
that there is text above the screen, and a down-arrow to show
there is text below the screen.

There are four kinds of basic values:

@table @asis
@item @code{nil}
Don't display the icons.
@item @code{left}
Display them in the left fringe.
@item @code{right}
Display them in the right fringe.
@item @var{anything-else}
Display the icon at the top of the window top in the left fringe, and other
in the right fringe.
@end table

If value is a cons @code{(@var{angles} . @var{arrows})}, @var{angles}
controls the angle icons, and @var{arrows} controls the arrows.  Both
@var{angles} and @var{arrows} work according to the table above.
Thus, @code{(t .  right)} places the top angle icon in the left
fringe, the bottom angle icon in the right fringe, and both arrows in
the right fringe.
@end defvar

@defvar default-indicate-buffer-boundaries
The value of this variable is the default value for
@code{indicate-buffer-boundaries} in buffers that do not override it.
@end defvar

@node Scroll Bars
@section Scroll Bars

Normally the frame parameter @code{vertical-scroll-bars} controls
whether the windows in the frame have vertical scroll bars.  A

displayed control the window's vertical scroll bars.  The function
@code{set-window-buffer} examines these variables.  If you change them
in a buffer that is already visible in a window, you can make the
window take note of the new values by calling @code{set-window-buffer}
specifying the same buffer that is already displayed.

@node Pointer Shape
@section Pointer Shape

  Normally, the mouse pointer has the @code{text} shape over text and

@defvar default-ctl-arrow
The value of this variable is the default value for @code{ctl-arrow} in
buffers that do not override it.  @xref{Default Value}.
@end defvar

@defopt indicate-empty-lines
@tindex indicate-empty-lines
@cindex fringes, and empty line indication
When this is non-@code{nil}, Emacs displays a special glyph in the
fringe of each empty line at the end of the buffer, on terminals that
support it (window systems).  @xref{Fringes}.
@end defopt

@defopt tab-width
The value of this variable is the spacing between tab stops used for
displaying tab characters in Emacs buffers.  The value is in units of
columns, and the default is 8.  Note that this feature is completely
independent of the user-settable tab stops used by the command
@code{tab-to-tab-stop}.  @xref{Indent Tabs}.

@defvar scroll-bar-mode
This variable, always local in all buffers, controls whether and where
to put scroll bars in windows displaying the buffer.  The possible values
are @code{nil} for no scroll bar, @code{left} to put a scroll bar on
the left, and @code{right} to put a scroll bar on the right.
@end defvar

@defvar scroll-bar-width
This variable, always local in all buffers, specifies the width of the
buffer's scroll bars, measured in pixels.  A value of @code{nil} means
to use the value specified by the frame.
