We will, AGAIN, suggest you read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature, and do basic research first. Show your own efforts.

Putting "graphics programming in C++" into Google pulls up over 34 *MILLION* hits. There are entire books dedicated to this. Best suggestion is that you read them, look at ANY of the millions of easily-found guides/tutorials/samples, and post back with SPECIFIC QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS. Don't ask us to look things up for you; seems to be a recurring theme with your posts.

I fully agree with TB0ne's points here.

You're saying that you use libgraph. My assumption is that you have a valid background where you're able to search for graphical development packages which use the C++ language.

Please tell us which ones you are considering and perhaps people can offer opinions.

Please bear in mind that just because something is old does not mean it is not maintained, I see active development on their repo. C++ is old, someone reading this may use a different language for graphical development and wonder why that detail is important.

By libgraph you mean that Borland graphics.h header that drew lines and rectangles on the screen, right?

The modern equivalent is SDL2.

Make sure the VM can handle it first.

Cairo is a very powerful 2D drawing library that can draw on pretty much anything.

If you want to develop GUI applications, check out GTK.

I too agree with TB0ne I gave you that one on your other page,
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-a-4175669527/
I think it time you took a step back and get back to the basics, learning yourself how to search the internet for your answers first then if questions on something related to it, fine post.

you can even type some of what you asked in here in googles search engine and see what happens. It works on key phrases and key words. it's rather basic and simple to use really.

"use graphics in c++ in linux"

if you do not like your results rephrase your sentence and use more key words to try and find what you're looking for.

"what api for gui in linux"
"c++ programming gui in linux"
"linux c++ gui programming tutorial"
