This generally describes the screen you are looking at in a program, and the icons you may click to accomplish (tasks). They are "graphical," rather than, say, verbal, you are the user, and the page is the interface.
This is what the user sees and works with when using the computer..Different types are Graphical user interface, Command line interface and Manual driven interface
Yes, Unix has several variants of Graphical User Interfaces that may be used instead of the command line if the user wishes it.
The command line interface and the graphical user interface.
Either the GUI (Graphical User Interface) which is what most users see everyday as a point and click system. Or the Command line which is all text based from the command prompt
DOS is a command line interface, Windows (starting at Win95) is a graphical user interface.
Graphical User Interface
The difference between a command driven and a graphical user interface is that in command driven a user has to type commands in code to be executed in a terminal. In graphical, a user can simply navigate and operate using an interface and some sort of pointer or touch screen with no coding involved.
A graphical user interface, commonly abbreviate gui, means there is a visible screen that the user can look at with pictures and such. A command line is just a black background with white typing. There is no mouse or clicking. Its all just code. Go the gui is much easier to use and much more user friendly
A terminal emulator inside a graphical user interface is often called a terminal window. A terminal window allows access to a text terminal and its applications, for example the command line interface.
A user interface that uses menus to communicate with the computer. Rather than having a single line where a command must be typed in, the user has a list of items to choose from, and can make selections by highlighting one. This kind of interface is easier to use than a command-line interface, but does not have all the visual elements of a graphical user interface.
GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. It is a programming technique that allows the user to visually interpret commanding the program driving the GUI. All versions of Windows are GUIs. Computer games are GUIs. This is opposed to text based user interfaces. DOS (Disk Operating System) was the first operating system for the AT style desktop computer. It presented itself to the user with a ">" prompt on the command line. The user typed in a DOS command and told the computer to execute the command by hitting the "Enter" key. The computer responded to the command with lines of ASCII text on the display. LINUX is a text based operating system. There are several different GUI layers that run on top of a LINUX based operating system.
