    GUI Elements

    - GUI provides a set of components to interact with software or hardware.

    - Every graphical component provides a way to work with the system.

    - A GUI system has following elements such as:

    Window
    - An area where contents of application are displayed.
    - Contents in a window can be displayed in the form of icons or lists, if the window represents file structure.
    - It is easier for a user to navigate in the file system in an exploring window.
    - Windows can be minimized, resized or maximized to the size of screen.
    - They can be moved anywhere on the screen.
    - A window may contain another window of the same application, called child window.

    Tabs
    - If an application allows executing multiple instances of itself, they appear on the screen as separate windows.
    - Tabbed Document Interface has come up to open multiple documents in the same window.
    - This interface also helps in viewing preference panel in application.
    - All modern web-browsers use this feature.

    Menu
    - Menu is an array of standard commands, grouped together and placed at a visible place (usually top) inside the application window.
    - The menu can be programmed to appear or hide on mouse clicks.

    Icon
    - An icon is small picture representing an associated application.
    - When these icons are clicked or double clicked, the application window is opened.
    - Icon displays application and programs installed on a system in the form of small pictures.

    Cursor
    - Interacting devices such as mouse, touch pad, digital pen are represented in GUI as cursors.
    - On screen cursor follows the instructions from hardware in almost real-time.
    - Cursors are also named pointers in GUI systems.
    - They are used to select menus, windows and other application features.
