Drag

Drag or The Drag may refer to:

Geography

  • Drag, Norway, a village in Tysfjord municipality, Nordland, Norway
  • Drág, the Hungarian name for Dragu Commune in Sălaj County, Romania
  • Drag (Austin, Texas), the portion of Guadalupe Street in Austin, Texas adjacent to the University of Texas at Austin
  • A colloquial name used in some U.S. cities to refer to a particularly well-traveled street
  • A strip featuring numerous specialty vendors in the Orcish capital of Orgrimmar in the Warcraft universe
  • In science and technology

  • A deep inhalation of a cigarette
  • Drag (physics), the force which resists motion of an object through a fluid
  • Drag equation, a mathematical equation used in analyzing the magnitude of drag caused by fluid flow
  • Drag coefficient, a non-dimensional coefficient that is one of the terms in the drag equation
  • Aerodynamic drag, the aerodynamic force which resists motion of an aircraft or other object through the air
  • Drag crisis, a rapid change in drag coefficient over a small range of Reynolds number
  • Drag (route)

    A drag route (also known as an in route or a dig route) is a route run by a receiver in American football, where the receiver runs a few yards downfield, then turns 90° towards the center of the field and runs parallel to the line of scrimmage. This type of route is relatively safe and is thrown to an agile receiver who can make a play after the catch. Alternatively, a drag route may be used as a second option if the principal receiver on a play is covered.

    The use of two crossing drag routes can also be used to try to create an open receiver by using the other receiver to block the path of a defensive back in a man coverage scheme.


    Drag and drop

    In computer graphical user interfaces, drag and drop is a pointing device gesture in which the user selects a virtual object by "grabbing" it and dragging it to a different location or onto another virtual object. In general, it can be used to invoke many kinds of actions, or create various types of associations between two abstract objects.

    As a feature, drag-and-drop support is not found in all software, though it is sometimes a fast and easy-to-learn technique. However, it is not always clear to users that an item can be dragged and dropped, or what is the command performed by the drag and drop, which can decrease usability.

    Actions

    The basic sequence involved in drag and drop is:

  • Move the pointer to the object
  • Press, and hold down, the button on the mouse or other pointing device, to "grab" the object
  • "Drag" the object to the desired location by moving the pointer to this one
  • "Drop" the object by releasing the button
  • Dragging requires more physical effort than moving the same pointing device without holding down any buttons. Because of this, a user cannot move as quickly and precisely while dragging (see Fitts' law). However, drag-and-drop operations have the advantage of thoughtfully chunking together two operands (the object to drag, and the drop location) into a single action. Extended dragging and dropping (as in graphic design) can stress the mousing hand.
