graphical user interface

In computing, a type of user interface in which programs and files appear as icons (small pictures), user options are selected from pull-down menus, and data are displayed in windows (rectangular areas), which the operator can manipulate in various ways. The operator uses a pointing device, typically a mouse, to make selections and initiate actions. It is also known as WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointing device).

The concept of the graphical user interface was developed by the Xerox Corporation in the 1970s, was popularized with the Apple Macintosh computers in the 1980s, and is now available on most types of computer – most notably as Windows, an operating system for IBM PC-compatible microcomputers developed by the software company Microsoft.
