What are the 6 principles of interface design?

The 6 principles of user interface design are Structure, Simplicity, Visibility, Feedback, Tolerance and Reuse.

What is the golden rule when designing a interface?

A good interface should be designed to avoid errors as much as possible. However, if something goes wrong, your system should make it easy for users to understand and resolve the problem. Simple ways to deal with errors include displaying clear error notifications and descriptive hints to resolve the problem.

What is an interface in GIS?

The GIS INTERFACE manages the connection between the cartographical databases (represented by vector layers) and attributes data stored in the CGMS and SGDBE databases.
