	Graphical user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A graphical user interface (or GUI, sometimes pronounced "gooey") is a method of interacting with a computer through a metaphor of direct manipulation of graphical images and widgets in addition to text.
		The PUI consists of graphical widgets (often provided by widget toolkit libraries) such as windows, menus, radio buttons, check boxes and icons, and employs a pointing device (such as a mouse, trackball or touchscreen) in addition to a keyboard.
		Chrome is the set of user interface elements of the application window that are outside of a window's content area.

	History of the graphical user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is considerably different from the command line interface in which the user types a series of text commands to the computer.
		Windows 1.0 was a GUI (graphic user interface) for the MS-DOS operating system that had been the OS of choice for IBM PC and compatible computers since 1981.
		Some interface features of Mac OS X are inherited from NeXTStep (such as the Dock, the automatic wait cursor, or double-buffered windows giving a solid appearance and flicker-free window redraws), while others are inherited from the old Mac OS operating system (the single system-wide menu-bar).

	graphical user interface - Webopedia.com
		The first graphical user interface was designed by Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center in the 1970s, but it was not until the 1980s and the emergence of the Apple Macintosh that graphical user interfaces became popular.
		In addition to their visual components, graphical user interfaces also make it easier to move data from one application to another.
		Such interfaces are sometimes called graphical character-based user interfaces to distinguish them from true GUIs.

	Graphical User Interface Concepts
		Users should be able to learn an action sequence in one part of the system and apply it again to get similar results in other places.
		Interfaces should clearly indicate whether the input provided by the user was accepted by the system or not.
		Users should never have to rely on their own memory for something the system already knows, such as previous settings, file names, and other interface details.

	Define GUI - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: graphical user interface
		The term came into existence because the first interactive user interfaces to computers were not graphical; they were text-and-keyboard oriented and usually consisted of commands you had to remember and computer responses that were infamously brief.
		The command interface of the DOS operating system (which you can still get to from your Windows operating system) is an example of the typical user-computer interface before GUIs arrived.
		An intermediate step in user interfaces between the command line interface and the GUI was the non-graphical menu-based interface, which let you interact by using a mouse rather than by having to type in keyboard commands.

	Designing a Graphic User Interface
		The user would enter data when directed and would be unable to jump to another section out of sequence, except as part of a pre-programmed menu.
		If multiple users take turns using your application at a single workstation, consider recording preferences as user-specific profiles rather than as a single description of the application's appearance the last time it was run.
		Interface transparency occurs when the user's attention is drawn away from the interface and naturally directed at the task itself.

	Alpha Squared - Graphical User Interface
		The AlphaSquared Graphical User Interface is a set of highly efficient C++ classes designed for the interactive display of heavily numerical or very large data sets.
		Since in our experience the computational code often pushes the boundary of humanly manageable complexity, it is essential that the user interface code be clearly separate from the computational code.
		The interface style is oriented towards technical users with demanding calculations or exploratory computing.

	The Graphical User Interface: An Introduction
		This is the amount of information that a user can take in at any one time, and it limits the effective size of icons, menus, dialogs boxes, etc. If the user must constantly move his eyes across the screen to clearly focus, the GUI design is causing a lot of unnecessary and tiring eye movement.
		Once the user has a desired fixation point, there is a limit to the amount of information that the person can process at one time.
		The user should not be concerned with the user interface.

		Apart from the various graphics applications that must be executed from a menu or toolbar associated with a particular window all other functions that are not dependent on a special graphics window may be executed at any time from any window.
		Each of the other graphics application windows have their own arrangement of menus and toolbars, typically quite limited due to the application specific nature of the window, that can be customised to suit individual requirements.
		Apart from entering values for the various user interface components, various keyboard buttons may be used to navigate the user interface components so that they may be visited for the entry of values.

	Graphical User Interface
		Graphical user interfaces allow end users to interact with applications in a more or less intuitive manner.
		The simplest user interface consists of two components: a prompt displayed on the screen and the keyboard used to enter information into the program.
		Practically every program used today uses graphics as a way for a user to interact with the program because a GUI is an intuitive and efficient way to collect information from a user and to display information for a user to read.

	THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
		With a system like this, the disabled user can maneuver a mouse over the display and use the keyboard or a separate keypad, and a voice synthesizer will actually describe an icon the GUI has displayed or the graphical text shown on the screen.
		OutSpoken is a screen reader that communicates through voice synthesis with blind users as they move the mouse around the GUI and come in contact with text and graphical objects on the screen.
		The blind user or the SRD developer must write profiles to employ multitasking constructs and be able to distinguish GUI constructs like window classes for various system and application controls.

	Graphical User Interface (GUI) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A system's graphical user interface along with its input devices is sometimes referred to as its "look-and-feel".
		One important HCI factor is that different users form different conceptions or mental models about their interactions and have different ways of learning and keeping knowledge and skills (different "cognitive styles" as in, for example, "left-brained" and "right-brained" people.) In addition, cultural and national differences play a part.
		Motif is the industry standard graphical user interface, (as defined by the IEEE 1295 specification) used on more than 200 hardware and software platforms.

		The user interface is always personalized to offer only the options you need for your role in the system.
		Each interface screen has a fixed set of standardized components, all with a clear and unambiguous role and meaning.
		The standardization of the user interface eliminates the need to relearn the system whenever a new functionality is added and as a scientific study clearly demonstrates, the learning curve takes less time.

	Graphical User Interface - MSN Encarta
		Graphical User Interface (GUI), in computer science, a display format that enables the user to choose commands, start programs, and see lists of files and other options by pointing to pictorial representations (icons) and lists of menu items on the screen (see User Interface).
		Choices can generally be activated either with the keyboard or with a mouse.
		Another benefit is that applications written for a GUI are device-independent: As the interface changes to support new input and output devices, such as a large-screen monitor or an optical storage device, the applications can, without modification, use those devices.
