GDI (Graphics Device Interface)

The Graphics Device Interface (GDI) is a core component of Microsoft Windows that helps software programs communicate with graphics hardware, such as monitors and printers. It allows applications to display images, shapes, and text on the screen or on printed paper. Essentially, GDI serves as a bridge between the software and the hardware, ensuring that visual elements are rendered correctly and efficiently. This system enables developers to create visually appealing applications without needing to manage the complex details of the underlying graphics hardware.
