Data visualization ≠ UI and signal processing is traditionally done in C
UI. User Interface. The bridge between a system and a user. So anything, literally any information transfer from the user to the system OR from the system to the user, is a User Interface.
A definition so broad as to be useless.
Is it a UI when someone calls memcpy to move data from a file to a screen buffer?
This isn't hard, you're just trying to make it to be.
Memcpy from a file to a screen buffer is as much a UI as pouring water in a pot is a soup.
