GUI
Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001474
An interaction model for computer software that presents information and user controls visually, rather than as text commands. Users manipulate on-screen elements like windows, menus, and buttons using a pointing device, such as a mouse, or through a touchscreen. This contrasts with the command-line interface (CLI), which requires users to type specific commands to perform tasks.
