According to webopedia.com A program interface that takes
advantage of the computer’s graphics capabilities to make the program easier to
use. Well-designed graphical user interfaces can free the user from learning
complex command languages. On the other hand, many users find that they work
more effectively with a command-driven interface, especially if they already know
the command language.
Graphical user interfaces, such as Microsoft Windows and the one used by the Apple
Macintosh, feature the following basic components
pointer A symbol that appears on the display screen and that you move to select objects
and commands. Usually, the pointer appears as a small angled arrow. Text -processing
applications, however, use an I-beam pointer that is shaped like a capital I.
pointing device A device, such as a mouse or trackball, that enables you to select
objects on the display screen.
icons Small pictures that represent commands, files, or windows. By moving the pointer
to the icon and pressing a mouse button, you can execute a command or convert the icon
into a window. You can also move the icons around the display screen as if they were
real objects on your desk desktop The area on the display screen where icons are grouped is
often referred to as
the desktop because the icons are intended to represent real objects on a real desktop.windows You can divide the screen into different areas. In each window, you can run a
different program or display a different file. You can move windows around the display
screen, and change their shape and size at will.
menus Most graphical user interfaces let you execute commands by selecting a choice
from a menu.
