Abstract
The characteristics of a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. The advantages and disadvantages of the GUI are reviewed, and trans-platform graphical interfaces are considered. The major GUIs are then described along with the basic components, i.e., the windowing system, the imaging model, and the applications programming interface.<>
