	The GNUstep GUI Library is a library of objects useful for writing graphical applications. For example, it includes classes for drawing and manipulating graphics objects on the screen: [[NSWindow\|windows]], [[NSMenu\|menus]], [[NSButton\|buttons]], [[NSSlider\|sliders]], [[NSTextField\|text fields]], and [[NSEvent\|events]]. There are also many classes that offer operating-system-independent interfaces to [[NSImage\|images]], [[NSCursor\|cursors]], [[NSColor\|colors]], [[NSFont\|fonts]], [[NSPasteboard\|pasteboards]], printing. There are also workspace support classes such as data links, open/save panels, context-dependent help, spell checking.

-It provides functionality that aims to implement the `AppKit' portion of the [[Cocoa]] (formerly [[OpenStep]] standard) however the implementation has been written to take advantage of GNUstep enhancements wherever possible.
+It provides functionality that aims to implement the `AppKit' portion of the [[Cocoa]] API (formerly [[OpenStep]] standard) however the implementation has been written to take advantage of GNUstep enhancements wherever possible.
 The GNUstep GUI Library is divided into a front and back-end. The front-end contains the majority of the implementation, but leaves out the low-level drawing and event code. Different back-ends will make GNUstep available on various platforms. The default GNU back-end currently runs on top of the X Window System and uses only Xlib calls for graphics. Another backend uses a Display Postscript Server for graphics. Much work will be saved by this clean separation between front and back-end, because it allows different platforms to share the large amount of front-end code. Documentation for how the individual backends work is covered in a separate document.
