is dialog a graphical user interface?

[kokotero]

Hi all

My friend and I disagree in that question:

¿Does dialog command creates graphical user interfaces?

He says that no.

I know that yes.

Could you open his eyes? (or tell me that am wrong)

Thanks in advance

Osito <-- my friend
KoKo <-- me

P.D: i forgot creating a poll, can any admin help us with that? thank you

Dialog is not a GUI because it uses characters and not vector/raster graphics to display information. It is a TUI (Textual User Interface) similar to the DOS Shell.

I think that both of the above points appear valid. I guess it hinges on the definition of GUI and whoever has the honor of writing the definition.

No. It is not. It is curses.
