I would like to try some simple graphics programming on Linux -- plotting points, lines, and arcs to a window, filling areas with colour, etc. Preferably with a C interface, something like what you could do with Turbo C on DOS in the 1980's. What would be the easiest system to do this? Should I learn Java? Or something else? Regards, Jan
Hi Jan Willem,You are going to get plenty of different answers. I like them all, but I vote for Qt:
libqt3-mt libqt3-mt-dev qt3-dev-tools qt3-doc (You can also go for the version 4 set, of course) It comes with a huge set of examples and a vast system of documentation. You'll have to know C++. (No big deal. Start with the Qt examples first)I have put together a system to do that sort of plotting with a C interface, based on Qt:
