I need a low level graphics library for gcc

[Kanj]

Hi!
I learning c++ programming and I am using gcc. I have previously used turbo c++ compiler and I need something like graphics.h for gcc. I don't need something sophisticated but it should have functions for drawing triangles,circles, etc.

Any help appreciated.

Maybe you can use SLD of opengl, they are quite good.

Do you mean SDL?

[hannes]

Yes, i'm sorry for that.

SDL seems to be a good graphics library( not a widget library!)

Thanks a lot.

Can you also tell me where can I find a tutorial on SDL which is more about basics and less about writing games?
And what's the command to see the man page of SDL?
