Remarks

Use the showVerticalScrollbar option to specify whether the spreadsheet displays a vertical scroll bar.

Use the showHorizontalScrollbar option to specify whether the spreadsheet displays a horizontal scroll bar.

The useTouchLayout option increases the size of the navigation buttons in the tab strip and the scrollbar and also increases the size of various buttons involved in grouping, filtering, and validation. This option does not require touch support.
