graphical user interface (GUI)
- graphical user interface (GUI)
-
Computer display format that allows the user to select commands,
call up files,
start programs,
and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (
icons)
or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to type in text commands.
The first GUI to be used in a personal computer appeared in Apple Computer'
s Lisa,
introduced in 1983;
its GUI became the basis of Apple'
s extremely successful Macintosh (
1984).
The Macintosh'
s GUI style was widely adapted by other manufacturers of personal computers and PC software.
In 1985 Microsoft Corp.
introduced Windows,
a GUI (
which later grew into an operating system)
that gave MS-
DOS–
based computers many of the same capabilities as the Macintosh.
In addition to being used for operating-
system interfaces,
GUIs are used in other types of software,
including browsers and application programs.
