hi, i am beginner in linux.i want to do a graphics programme in C.i have done it in borland-c using <graphics.h>. pls guide me in Linux Env.

There are many possibilities. Here are some of the most popular: Gimp widget/drawing libraries: info gtk info gdk info glib http://www.gtk.org/ OpenGL Graphics programming: http://www.opengl.org Simple Directmedia Layer (MM/games): http://www.libsdl.org Raw X: http://www.xfree86.org/current/manindex3.html http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.html

Isn't graphics.h for console grahpics? If so, ncurses is what you want to use.

There's nothing wrong with good console based programmes but unfortunately you would not be able to do any graphics programming at all with the ncurses library. The nearest equivalent to the dos/win library for which graphics.h provides the api would be SVGAlib but starting graphics programming in GNU/Linux with SVGAlib would be somewhat eccentric and probably not very healthy (and certainly not portable). Like it or not, graphics programming in the *nix world is X based and one may as well get started on it rather than artificially cling to a dos/win like paradigm. So I probably shouldn't have mentioned SVGAlib at all ;)
