graphical user interface (GUI)
The use of pictures rather than just words to represent the input and output of a program. A program
with a GUI runs under some windowing system (for example, X Window System, Microsoft
Windows, Acorn RISC OS, and NeXTstep). The program displays certain icons, buttons, dialogs,
etc., in its windows on the screen and the user controls it mainly by moving a pointer on the screen
(typically controlled by a mouse) and selecting certain objects by pressing buttons on the mouse
while the pointer is pointing at them.
