Accordion (GUI)

The accordion is a graphical control element comprising a vertically stacked list of items, such as labels or thumbnails.

The term stems from the musical accordion in which sections of the bellows can be expanded by pulling outward.

A common example of an accordion is the Show/Hide operation of a box region, but extended to have multiple sections in a list.
