ABSTRACT:
A method for creating a graphic user interface (GUI) for a computer application includes defining a relation that associates certain graphic elements (84, 86, 88, 90, 92) with corresponding user interface elements (64, 66, 68, 70, 72) that are linked to functions of the application. An image (80) is provided that includes one or more of the graphic elements at respective locations in the image. A user interface screen (140) is generated responsive to the image, such that the user interface elements are mapped to positions on the screen determined by the respective locations of the corresponding graphic elements in the image.
