User Interface
A
user interface (UI, or GUI:
graphical user interface) is how you, the
user, controls software. A user interface can include
dialog boxes, windows (like the
script editor's), buttons (push, radio, spinner), checkboxes, menus (pull-down,
pie menus),
tooltips, etc.
These
functions communicate information to the user by using the
SL client's features itself (not the
world's) or via
chat/
IM:
A user interface provides means of:
* Input, allowing the users to manipulate a system
* Output, allowing the system to indicate the effects of the users' manipulation.
