    plotting a graph

    Is there a way to plot points on the screen in a unix/linux C program? I would like to incorporate it in a program I'm making to model a susension bridge's cable profile. I use the gcc compiler. Thanks for you help!

    The simplest way I can see it is to use curses and '*' as each point, otherwise you'll have to get into some actual graphical programming.

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    C doesn't have one form of graphical programming. 99% of all modern graphical programming is done with an api (a set of functions to do stuff). get SDL or Allegro and read about it.
