you'll want to use a toolkit like gtk, tk or qt.

SDL is nice,if you would like to use X to draw some graphics on.
Its a bit like direct draw from MS .sdl profides other stuff as well.
You can download sdl form www.libsdl.org

hi all... i've been trying to use graphics,h in linux but in vain..i want to design an interface for my project in c (linux platform)....how should i go about it?
plz help me..

in text mode i think its called curses or ncurses

Its a question of whether you are using the console or the X server (gui interface).

For simple text interfaces you can use Ncurses, which uses the console. But you cannot do graphic routines, like circles or whatnot.

You can use the SDL libraries which support FrameBuffer console graphics and X server graphics as well.

remember, this is linux....you have many choices.
