 The Graphical User Interface: An Introduction
A GUI is a type of computer human interface on a computer.
In the same way, the GUI binds the user of the computer system to the operation and potential of the computer system [6].
The user should not be concerned with the user interface.

 Alpha Squared - Graphical User Interface
Since in our experience the computational code often pushes the boundary of humanly manageable complexity, it is essential that the user interface code be clearly separate from the computational code.
The interface style is oriented towards technical users with demanding calculations or exploratory computing.
The AlphaSquared Graphical User Interface is a set of highly efficient C++ classes designed for the interactive display of heavily numerical or very large data sets.

 Graphical User Interface Concepts
Interfaces should clearly indicate whether the input provided by the user was accepted by the system or not.
Note that the users may not be currently performing these tasks using computer software applications (if you were writing an application to replace an older system).
Users should never have to rely on their own memory for something the system already knows, such as previous settings, file names, and other interface details.

 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A GUI (graphical user interface) is a graphical (rather than purely textual) user interface to a computer.
A system's graphical user interface along with its input devices is sometimes referred to as its "look-and-feel".
The term came into existence because the first interactive user interfaces to computers were not graphical; they were text-and-keyboard oriented and usually consisted of commands you had to remember and computer responses that were infamously brief.

 Designing a Graphic User Interface
But in today's world, in which computer resources are abundant and computer users are usually non-programmers and computer neophytes, a good program is one that not only works but is also easy to learn.
Interface transparency occurs when the user's attention is drawn away from the interface and naturally directed at the task itself.
Computer programmers designed programs for use by other computer professionals and not the general public, so a generic interface permitting expeditious user input was the order of the day.

Graphical User Interface (GUI), in computer science, a display format that enables the user to choose commands, start programs, and see lists of files and other options by pointing to pictorial representations (icons) and lists of menu items on the screen (see User Interface).
Another benefit is that applications written for a GUI are device-independent: As the interface changes to support new input and output devices, such as a large-screen monitor or an optical storage device, the applications can, without modification, use those devices.
