Need software/library suggestions for graphics
 

Hi,
I am trying to display some simple 2D graphics without the use of Xorg, from just a text-based program. I am trying to build a very simple user interface that will be made for the sole purpose of displaying some text and pictures in a user-friendly way.
Is there a program or some sort of C library that i can use to accomplish this? Also, can a program like this be run on multiple Linux distributions? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Most linux distributions support using the framebuffer instead of only a text-only vt display though it may not be enabled by default. There are programs that can display various image and video formats on the framebuffer. There is also a svgalib but I don't know anything about it.

You can google something like "linux framebuffer YourDistroName" if you need to find out how to enable it. One program I sometimes is is called fbi (frame buffer image) and it can display jpeg, tiff, png, gif, and several other formats. Another program fbgs can display postscript and pdf files. There are even some framebuffer enabled web browsers.

Can i just say that I want to congratulate on not using X. JOOC, why?
