In gcc,not yet heard of graphics.h,but ncurses library exists..

The ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses in System V Release 4.0 and more. It uses terminfo format, supports pads and color and multiple highlights and forms charcters and function-key mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD curses. It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming UNIX-like system. On systems supporting libiconv, the library can be built to support wide- and multibyte-character applications, e.g., UTF-8.

The distribution includes the library and support utilities, including a terminfo compiler tic, a decompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo.

@prakash..

It seems ncurses is not working...I am tlalking about a header file that can be used to draw stuff like circles,lines etc...Similar to the graphics.h header file in Turboc.

Whatever you're developing for, it's probably worth looking at
*www.libsdl.org/

A good library, supporting both audio and video, available for multiple OSes, is Allegro
*sunsite.dk/allegro/wip.html

For gnu/Linux, there always is the good old svgalib
