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 ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=windowing system">windowing system (e.g. The ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=X Window System">X Window System, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=MacOS">MacOS, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Acorn">Acorn ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=RISC OS">RISC OS, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=NEXTSTEP">NEXTSTEP). The program displays certain ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=icons">icons, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=buttons">buttons, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=dialogue boxes">dialogue boxes, etc. in its ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=windows">windows on the screen and the user controls it mainly by moving a ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=pointer">pointer on the screen (typically controlled by a ref="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 ref="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 ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=real">real-time graphic display systems for computers, namely the ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SAGE">SAGE Project [Dates?] and ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Ivan Sutherland">Ivan Sutherland' s ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Sketchpad">Sketchpad (1963). {Douglas Engelbart}' s {Augmentation of Human Intellect} project at ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SRI">SRI in the 1960s developed the ref="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 ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Xerox 8010">Xerox 8010 (Star) system in 1981.

In 2001 Apple introduced ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Mac OS X">Mac OS X. ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Microsoft">Microsoft modeled the first version of ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Windows">Windows, released in 1985, on Mac OS.

Apple sued Microsoft over infringement of the look-and-feel of the MacOS. The court case ran for many years. [Wikipedia]. (2002-03-25) In addition suitable contents:
