Need help on Graphics, PLEASE HELP

[emperor]

Help!
I am a new programmer in C. Just C! (not C++ or any fancy C junk."
I learned how to program out of a book that is obviously old (copyright 1990)
and I need to know how to put little pictures on the screen. If you don't
know, tell me where I can find out. (I hope you know!)

standard C knows nothing about pictures (unless you meant text-mode
graphics) so you'll have to use platform-specific APIs, depending on the
compiler and OS you're using. Try to look for functions with meaningful
names in the <graphics.h> header or simialr libraries.

Opengl is an easy to use, fairly powerful tool for graphics. You can get
it for most platforms/compilers for free. Unreal (a game) was done in gl,
many others. You may have to draw a rectangle and put the images on that
as a texture, but its easy enough to do.

First of all, your question is very vague....
But my suggetion is to take a look at openGL API...
Straight C interface... Supported by all major platforms...
More than enough for putting little pictures on the screen....
