If you want a simple replacement of graphics.h, probably you should look 
for svgalib (www.svgalib.org). However, you should note that you need to 
be "root" to run the progs.

The standard way of doing fundamental graphics on most Unices is the 
good old X Window system. A book on that topic will help you greatly.

If you want to do graphics programming using the GTK+ library (that 
comes with most Linux distributions), you may like to visit the link below:
