Yes, ncurses is for text UI. For GUI, you would have to use Xlib & Xt (X
Libraries, X Toolkit), if you want to program in C. May be u can get a
good book on X Windows Programming (folks here would be able suggest a
good book) For C++, you might use Toolkit like GTK-- (C++ interface to GTK
See www.gtk.org). I found that using perl Tk is really cool (Perl
interface to Tk), eventhough it lacks some fancy features, like drag &
drop.
Now, if what u want is Graphics programming, without X, then you should
use SVGAlib. Get SVGA lib & it contains some sample programs & demos. See
your favourite distro's CD for the source & samples. The library as such
might be already installed in your system.
