That's a command-line tool that produces graphics. I don't know if you
can interact with the results, but if so I'd say it produces a GUI -
just as, under X, typing 'netscape' is a non-GUI operation that
presents you with a GUI.

I think one could reasonably have a single button that displayed the
current justification (as text) and either ran through them if clicked
or popped up a menu if clicked and held. The advantage would be that
more complex justification schemes could be described.
