C++ Graphics library...
kindly tell me there is any standard C++ library for Graphics????? ( using colors...circles...graph...etc??? thanks.....
C++ is a standard programming language you can integrate it with many graphics library.For beginners and learning purpose you can use winBGI. SDL for console game library,wxwidget for GUI and for 3D graphics library you can read OpenGL.Among them I think wxwidget and OpenGL is standard graphics library.There is also QT which is also easy to use and learn and completely object oriented.
C+ knows nothing of graphics. It doesn't even know what a monitor is. Or a mouse, or a keyboard. None of these things get mentioned in the C++ language definition, for good reasons.
As Dinesh says, there are a great many libraries that can sit between your code and your choice of operating system to enable you to do these things. There cannot be a standard library dealing with graphics because there is no standard operating system or standard hardware. This is one of the things that makes C and C++ so ubiquitous and so long lasting. Decide now which operating systems you want to target (I expect just windows) and then find the library best suited (libraries for this sort of thing are often called widget toolkits ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_toolkit ), or if you're feeling a bit more hard-core there's the big boy graphics options of OpenGL and Microsoft's DirectX.
