I will be talking about an article in the March 1995 issue of IEEE
Software entitled "Image-Browser Taxonomy and Guidelines for
Designers", written by Catherine Plaisant, David Carr and Ben
Shneiderman. Here is their summary:

Building on user familiarity with one-dimensional scroll bars, many
designers simply use two one-dimensional scroll bars when the
application requires independent control over the horizontal and
vertical directions. This is effective if users frequently move in a
single direction by small increments of less than one screen, but in
many cases is inadequate. The requirements of more complex applications
suggest that more careful analysis, design, and evaluation might lead
to significant improvements.

Indeed, our exploration of existing 2-D browsers has lead us to
identify many features and a wide variety of tasks performed with
browsers. Here we introduce ... a task taxonomy, [and] suggest design
features and guidelines.
