1 The GUI
The GEOS user interface (UI) is an integral part of the system software and does an amazing amount of work for applications. The UI is a sophisticated and powerful object library that includes everything from simple buttons to self-scrolling windows to plug-in objects that provide nearly complete word processing.
GEOS also uses a new concept in user interface technology: the generic UI. By using the generic UI, GEOS programs simply declare their UI needs and leave nearly all drawing, screen management, and input management up to GEOS. The generic UI technology also allows a single application executable file to run with several different look-and-feel specifications.
