In [[computing]], an '''object-oriented user interface''' ('''OOUI''') is a type of [[user interface]] based on an [[object-oriented programming]] [[Interface metaphor|metaphor]]. In an OOUI, the user interacts explicitly with objects that represent entities in the ___domain that the application is concerned with. Many vector drawing applications, for example, have an OOUI – the objects being lines, circles and canvases. The user may explicitly select an object, alter its properties (such as size or colour), or invoke other actions upon it (such as to move, copy, or re-align it). If a business application has any OOUI, the user may be selecting and/or invoking actions on objects representing entities in the business ___domain such as customers, products or orders.
