A(n) __________ uses pictures(called icons) and menus displayed on the screen to send commands to the computer system.
A(n) GUI uses pictures(called icons) and menus displayed on the screen to send commands to the computer system.
The graphical user interface (GUI /ˈɡuːi/), is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary notation, instead of text-based user interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation.
Short for Graphical User Interface, a GUI (pronounced as either G-U-I or gooey) allows the use of icons or other visual indicators to interact with electronic devices, rather than using only text via the command line. For example, all versions of Microsoft Windows utilize a GUI, whereas MS-DOS does not.
