Basic Terminologies: Poonam Pandey Department of Computer Science S. K. Somaiya College

The document discusses basic concepts in GUI programming using Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT). It defines components as elements that allow user interaction, containers as components that can hold other components, and layout managers as determining the positioning of components within containers. It also defines applets as small Java programs that can be run in web browsers to perform tasks like displaying graphics or accepting user input. An example applet is provided that draws a string using the Graphics class.

Basic Terminologies 

• Component 
– allow user to interact with the application in various ways – Push button, window etc 
• Container 
– Component that can contain other components – Window, Frame, Applet etc 
• Layout Manager 
– Positions components within a container 
Thus appearance in a GUI is determined by a combination of the components that it contains and the layout manager used to 
position them
