grafický

Grafický is an adjective used in Czech and Slovak to denote something that relates to graphics, drawing, or visual representation. It is employed across fields such as printing, design, and computing to distinguish visual or graphical aspects from purely textual ones. The term stems from grafika (graphics) and is formed with the adjectival suffix -ický in Czech and -ický/-ická/-ické to agree with gender and number.

In practical use, grafický describes a wide range of terms, for example grafická karta (graphics card), grafický editor (graphics editor), grafické uživatelské rozhraní (graphical user interface), and grafický design (graphic design). In publishing and printing, it can refer to graphic work or artwork, and in computing it often relates to visual output rather than textual data.

Note that grafický is an attributive adjective; it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. The feminine form is grafická, the neuter grafické. In Slovak, similar inflections apply (grafický, grafická, grafické). The noun grafika denotes graphics as a field or collection of images, while grafický describes items or processes that involve visual representation. Overall, grafický functions as a broad descriptor for anything pertaining to graphics, images, or visual interfaces in both languages.
