if you are looking for a "graphics library", Mesa is the choice. it is quite low level. its main advantage is that as it is OpenGL compliant it should compile on Windows as well. if by "graph" you mean something composed of nodes and edges(e.g. a visualization of an molecule, a web-site) look at GTL(Graph Template Library) - but this is a C++ template library, not C. it quite new but they have a "stable release". Also see XGMML(eXtensible Graph Markup and Modeling Language) or GML(Graph Modeling Language ). if you are looking to "draw graphs"(e.g. plotting curves on an x-y plane, bar graphs) look at the packages "dislin" or "plplot"; dislin is more mature and larger. good luck -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sayamindu Dasgupta Sent: 17 June 2002 22:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ilug-cal] me and my librry problems :) hia, On Mon, 2002-06-17 at 10:54, Manas Laha wrote: > Sayamindu Dasgupta wrote: > > > > hello, > > cud anyone suggest any C lib that can be used to draw graphs?? > > a simple easy to use/learn thing will do > > There's the professional quality Mesa/OpenGL library which is included > in the standard RedHat distribution.
