Graphic Subsystems

This category holds links on Graphical User Interfaces (GUI, pronounced "Gooey"), and software and toolkits that support implementing and deploying graphics on computers, usually but not always via operating systems.

GUI is a general name for any computer interface that substitutes graphics for hardware character generators. GUIs usually work via a keyboard and a pointing device such as a joystick, mouse, touchpad, trackball, and/or others.
