Alan Teodor #1 / 12	Graphics in different Operating Systems I'm doing a program and I need to draw in any operating system(Linux ,Windows). Has someone done this before ?

Maybe but what does this have to do with the C language? Even if you write such software in C it will be system specific for the most part and therefore off-topic here.

My advice is to choose a tool which suits the problem, and I assert that using java for platform-independent graphics applications is easier than finding a C library which works on all of the same platforms. Not to mention the fact that OOP is (somewhat) better suited to graphics-oriented programming. david -- If 91 were prime, it would be a counterexample to your conjecture. -- Bruce Wheeler

Any operating system? Tricky. But it's not hard to find stuff that works on both Linux and Windows. Have a look at OpenGL.

What's the difference between using a proprietary--but free--language versus using a proprietary--but not free--library. If Sun owns the rights to the Java language, then there is no real reason to standardize it because any implementation which does not work the way Sun says it should would (probably?) break some copyright law. See, e.g., Microsoft. Besides (going fully off-topic here), in what ways does Java not completely support the OO paradigm?

The library is GPL under GNU. Also Java is not free language. It is a proprietary language and SUN can charge a fortune for it in the future.

See, e.g., Microsoft. Exactly. proprietary languages also mean that they are an intention for user lock-in. In the past Java "run better" on Solaris. VB runs better on Windows. I don't like them both. Quote: > Besides (going fully off-topic here), in what ways does Java not > completely support the OO paradigm? (Maybe you should mail me your > response, if you care to.)
