GDT: Global descriptor table.
Global Descriptor Table (GDT): A table that defines code and data segments available to all tasks in an application.
glyph: A graphic symbol whose appearance conveys information; for example, the vertical and horizontal arrows on cursor keys that indicate the directions in which they control cursor movement, the sunburst symbol on the screen illumination control of a display device.
GPI: Graphics programming interface
graphic primitive: In computer graphics, a basic element, such as an arc or a line, that is not made up of smaller parts and that is used to create diagrams and pictures.
graphics attributes: The attributes that apply to graphics primitives. Examples are color selection, line type, and shading pattern definition. Contrast with segment attributes.
Graphics programming interface (GPI): The formally-defined programming language that lies between an IBM graphics program and the user of the program.
graphics segment: A sequence of related graphic primitives and graphics attributes. See also graphic primitive.
GRE: Graphics engine.
