The closest to graphics I've ever gotten is curses. I'll leave it open as to whether I mean the library of functions or the library of explatives. :D

Drdroid,

You may want to consider using svgalib (www.svgalib.org). A simple and powerful graphics library that provides low-level to your graphics engine. Learning curve is not steep. It's a bit out-dated though but still gets your job done.

Alternatively if you are looking for something more high-level, check out QT or GTK/GDK which makes use of the X window environment.

Hope that helps :)
