Graphical User Interface
erating system> (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 ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=windowing system">windowing system (e.g. The ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=X Window System">X Window System, ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=MacOS">MacOS, ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows, ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Acorn">Acorn ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=RISC OS">RISC OS, ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=NeXTSTeP">NeXTSTeP). The program displays certain ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=icons">icons, ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=buttons">buttons, ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=dialogue boxes">dialogue boxes, etc. in its ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=windows">windows on the screen and the user controls it mainly by moving a ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=pointer">pointer on the screen (typically controlled by a ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=mouse">mouse) and selecting certain objects by pressing buttons on the mouse while the pointer is pointing at them. This contrasts with a ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=command line interface">command line interface where communication is by exchange of strings of text. Windowing systems started with the first ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=real">real-time graphic display systems for computers, namely the ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SAGe">SAGe Project [Dates?] and ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Ivan Sutherland">Ivan Sutherland' s ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Sketchpad">Sketchpad (1963). {Douglas engelbart}' s {Augmentation of Human Intellect} project at ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SRI">SRI in the 1960s developed the ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=On-Line System">On-Line System, which incorporated a mouse-driven cursor and multiple windows. Several people from engelbart' s project went to Xerox PARC in the early 1970s, most importantly his senior engineer, {Bill english}. The Xerox PARC team established the {WIMP} concept, which appeared commercially in the ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Xerox 8010">Xerox 8010 (Star) system in 1981. Beginning in 1980(?), led by ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Jef Raskin">Jef Raskin, the ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Macintosh">Macintosh team at ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Apple Computer">Apple Computer (which included former members of the Xerox PARC group) continued to develop such ideas in the first commercially successful product to use a GUI, the Apple Macintosh, released in January 1984. In 2001 Apple introduced ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Mac OS X">Mac OS X. ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Microsoft">Microsoft modeled the first version of ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Windows">Windows, released in 1985, on Mac OS. Windows was a GUI for ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=MS-DOS">MS-DOS that had been shipped with ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=IBM PC">IBM PC and compatible computers since 1981. Apple sued Microsoft over infringement of the look-and-feel of the MacOS. The court case ran for many years. [Wikipedia].
