ezxdisp - yet another simple graphics library

Introduction

ezxdisp is a simple graphics library in C that works on X11 and Win32 platforms. This library has a small set of functions for drawing 2D/3D graphics. For example, the following code will create a 200x200 window with white background, and will draw a red circle in the center of the window.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "ezxdisp.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  ezx_t *e;

  e = ezx_init(200, 200, "no title");
  ezx_set_background(e, &ezx_white);
  ezx_fillcircle_2d(e, 100, 100, 40, &ezx_red);
  ezx_redraw(e);
  ezx_pushbutton(e, NULL, NULL);
  ezx_quit(e);

  return 0;  
}

Building the Library

The ezxdisp package does not contain a configure script, but does contain the platform-specific Makefiles for building a static library named libezx.a.

On a x11 platform

To build libezx.a, run 'make' in the 'src/x11' directory.

On a win32 platform

You need to install MinGW and MSYS. To build libezx.a, run 'make' in the 'src/win32' directory.
