    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    ISO/IEC 11581 applies to software products providing office applications such as document production, desktop

    publishing, finance, and planning that present their functions via a graphical user interface.

    ISO/IEC 11581 applies to software products for people who are familiar with office work but who are at present not

    necessarily familiar with computer-based applications.

    ISO/IEC 11581 is meant to be used by persons involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of icons for

    graphical user interfaces to computer-based office applications, and by procurers of systems that employ such

    interfaces.

    Other parts of ISO/IEC 11581 contain:

    _ graphics of commonly used icons, and

    _ descriptions of the functionality of the icons.

    This part of ISO/IEC 11581-1 provides a framework for the development and design of icons and their application

    on screens capable of displaying graphics as well as text. It contains:

    _ general requirements and recommendations for icons;

    _ global variations to the graphical representations of icons.
