direct manipulation

direct manipulation
   In a graphical user interface, the process of working with objects using a mouse or other pointing device, rather than using menu selections to manipulate the objects. Using drag-and-drop to print a file or using the mouse to adjust the size of a window are both examples of direct manipulation.
