    Painting lines without libraries..possible??

    Hi, I'm trying to create my own operating system with a C kernel, but I was looking for a simple line-draw in C. As I saw all examples using stdio.h or graph.h, they are not useable in my os, because they are written for windows/dos. Can anybody please help me??

    You need to learn how to directly control the video screen. Then use something like Bresenhem's Line and Circle Algorithm as your first 2 graphic primitives.

    I know how to write directly to the videoscreen (found on the web) so I think that I can do this far. I'll try, thanks!!
