user interface - Basic GUI functionality in C++ -
is there basic way draw in c++?
i know there lot of engines, libraries etc. these libraries have use basic drawing function or whatever is. mean without non-standart c++ libraries able make console applications. new libraries can draw something, or atleast show different standard command line, have use basic function allows make different without commandline.
i've heard win32 api (i'm not targeting windows platform,vbut i'm using windows, still have ubuntu(wubi)). can't belive way use win32 api.
so guess questions follows:
- are gui(or non-console) libraries using win32 api basic?
- are linux developers required use linux api gui?
(sorry english, it's not native language)
the operating system (on modern computer) in charge of screen have use it's functions draw on screen.
there whole range of libraries high level ones, displaying video single line of code, low level ones can determine details of every pixel.
as drawing on screen gui library, or toolkit, responsible handling keyboard , mouse, dealing other windows going on window , drawing standard controls such file open boxes etc - that's why it's bit complex.
see minimal cross-platform gui lib? fro examples
