simple graphics question

hi everyone,

i've just started programming in c++. i'm on a PC and am running
"wedit" as my compiler. as far as i can tell there are no built-in
graphics libraries.

could someone please point me in the direction of an easy way to do
graphics. i need to know where these new libraries go, how to call
them, etc. i just want to draw 2D plots (preferably with a .ps or
..pdf output).

thanks!
ryan

Try asking in comp.graphics.algorithms or in a newsgroup for your
operating system (PC is not an operating system). See the family
of newsgroups titled comp.os.*

Good luck!

"wedit" sounds more like an editor than like a compiler.

built-in to what?

Your question is off-topic here, since it doesn't actually have to do
with the C++ language itself. The answer to your question depends on
your platform. You said you want to write your program for PC, but
there are still a lot of very different operating systems for it. You
should try a newsgorup about programming for your OS.
