Users must interact with the modal window ...
Slicing (interface design) In fields employing interface design skills, slicing is the process of dividing a single 2D user interface composition layout ( comp) into multiple image files ( digital assets) of the graphical user interface (GUI) for one or more electronic pages. It is typically part of the client side development process of ...
