List, I have created a How-to for using the Svgalib with C. Svgalib is a graphic library (low-level) that offers basic functions for graphics programming.
In the past, I was trying to find out an alternative to writing C programs for graphics under any distribution. Under Windows, I used the Turbo C++ 3.0 compiler (IDE) using the graphics.h file which provided ample of functions for trivial graphics programming. When I discovered Svgalib, I found that I could do /almost/ everything that I did in Windows. Contributions to this how-to is highly encouraged. http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Trivial_Graphics_Programming_with_GCC_and_Svgalib (If the URL is broken, please copy paste it) If there are BSc (Comp. Sci. / IT ) students on this list, you could get started with graphics programming using this how-to. This how-to requires a How-to to get started with GCC as well. I do plan to begin it in this week. Long time back, Vinayak Hedge (I hope I got the name right!) wrote a how-to in LinuxGazzete for this. If anyone can jump in and compose a how-to for GCC, please do so. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.
