The actions in a GUI are usually performed through direct manipulation of the graphical elements. GUIs were introduced in reaction to the perceived steep learning curve of CLIs ( command-line interfaces), which require commands to be typed on a computer keyboard. The GUI ( / ˌ dʒ iː juː ˈ aɪ/ JEE-yoo- EYE or / ˈ ɡ uː i/ GOO-ee), or graphical user interface, is a form of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and audio indicator such as primary notation, instead of text-based UIs, typed command labels or text navigation.
