I have graphics lab this year..Can I do this using gcc ?What is the header file..Is it graphics.h ?

I also have DBMS lab that uses Oracle as the database and VB as front end..Any way to use it in Linux..I know Oracle has a free version for Linux on their website..What about VB ?Will ajunta do ?

In gcc,not yet heard of graphics.h,but ncurses library exists..

The ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses in System V Release 4.0 and more. It uses terminfo format, supports pads and color and multiple highlights and forms charcters and function-key mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD curses. It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming UNIX-like system. On systems supporting libiconv, the library can be built to support wide- and multibyte-character applications, e.g., UTF-8.

The distribution includes the library and support utilities, including a terminfo compiler tic, a decompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo.

Don't laugh , But what abt., using Qt?? There was an article in some month's LFY on this!

[vignesh]

Saw that...I am thinking on that lines..

@prakash..

It seems ncurses is not working...I am tlalking about a header file that can be used to draw stuff like circles,lines etc...Similar to the graphics.h header file in Turboc.

Whatever you're developing for, it's probably worth looking at
http://www.libsdl.org/

A good library, supporting both audio and video, available for multiple OSes, is Allegro

For gnu/Linux, there always is the good old svgalib

One guy is "long" developing graphics.h for Linux.See Below:
