• Application programming interfaceCompared with: A GUI presents controls to people rather than defining software-to-software operations.

• TouchscreenRelated: Touch input commonly selects the buttons, icons, and menus of a graphical interface.

• Command-line interfaceCompared with: It presents actions visually instead of requiring users to enter command text.

• Xerox PARCNarrower topic: PARC systems explored direct manipulation through windows, icons, and a pointing device.

• SmalltalkRelated: Smalltalk systems helped develop the interactive, window-based interfaces that became widespread.

• SketchpadRelated: Sketchpad showed how visual pointing and manipulation could serve as a mode of computer interaction.

• Application softwareRelated: Many applications present their features through windows, buttons, and other visual controls.

• Douglas EngelbartRelated: Engelbart’s demonstrations helped establish pointing and visual interaction as computing’s future.

• Alan KayNarrower topic: Kay’s work helped advance the interactive graphical environments that became standard personal-computer interfaces.

• Windows 3.1Narrower topic: Windows 3.1 presented DOS-based computing through a visual desktop rather than only command lines.

• DOSCompared with: A graphical interface replaces DOS's typed-command interaction with visual controls.

• Mobile appNarrower topic: Most mobile apps present their features through touch-operated graphical interfaces.

• Pointing deviceRelated: Pointing devices let users target and manipulate its visual elements.

• Classic Mac OSNarrower topic: Classic Mac OS helped popularize this style of personal-computer interaction.
