Indicates location, without a jump to feature, or a pagination control per se. Dot indicators are this, for example. Note comparison to Scroll and how scrollbars and thumbnails are special cases, considered in detail there, which see. NOTE in the pattern that this is not usually an access method, just an indicator that other patterns are used to get access, like Home page Slideshow style.
Compare Hero200 and Galaxy. Sliding bar vs. transitioning dot. Do not just indicate, but actually show movement, to make it clear what is being shown off.
Indicator can disappear when not actively moving, but can be confusing, so often should always be there...

This overlaps heavily with the Pagination widget, to the degree where it may be unclear which is being applied. HOW TO TELL, IN LIST???
