| | Graphical user interface -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article |
| | The GUI is generally contrasted with the (A user interface in which you type commands instead of choosing them from a menu or selecting an icon) command line interface (CLI), an earlier, text-only interface that required the user to type in commands or text strings to cause the computer to take some action. | | | Also, academic and research institutions often work on prototypes of future user interfaces that place an equal or greater emphasis on the tactile elements of the interface. | | | By contrast, a CLI typically makes all options and choices equally accessible but also equally invisible and not easily remembered, and so mastering a CLI generally requires more extensive familiarity with the software's features and functionality. |
