cimg.h
will do everything you need
http://cimg.sourceforge.net/

it is a graphics library in just the header

see the tutorial
http://cimg.sourceforge.net/referenc..._tutorial.html
and the screenshots of concept code

Regarding to CImg, I download the CImg_1.6.0_rolling140915.zip and moved the header to the /usr/include directory. I took one of the example and I compiled it with g++ and I am getting errors as described below;

This is the code;

g++ graphic5.cpp
you look to be missing most of the build line

did you look at the makefile in cimg/exapmles/Makefile

you need to export a few libraries

start with this and go from there
Code:
g++ -o graphics5 graphic5.cpp -lX11 -lpthread -lm

Thanks Jon VV.

g++ -o graphics5 graphic5.cpp -lX11 -lpthread -lm worked and it create an output file.
When I tried to run the graphic5 (executable file) it said; instance(0,0,0,0,(nil),non-shared] CLmg<float>::load(): Failed to open 'img/parrot_original.ppm'

It seems still some files are missing

John, As you said, adding the links (-lX11 -lpthread) worked but how do you know what links to add?

I took another example and I am getting different error!

i read the makefile and the error you posted
the error states what is missing
XInit
pthread

and the "-lm" is libm ( math)
that is a normal one to add with the NEWER versions of gcc
it is NOT inherited from other libraries any more

it may or may not have been needed


also you can put into "google" the error

"undefined reference to `XInitThreads'"
