===Graphics Device Interface===
The [[Graphics Device Interface]] (GDI) component provides features to output graphics content to [[computer display|monitors]], [[Computer printer|printers]], and other [[output device]]s. It resides in <samp>gdi.exe</samp> on 16-bit Windows, and <samp>[[gdi32.dll]]</samp> on 32-bit Windows in user-mode. Kernel-mode GDI support is provided by <code>win32k.sys</code> which communicates directly with the graphics driver.<ref name="msdn-gdi">[[Microsoft Developer Network]] (July 2005).
