Actually graphics is absolutely no topic for gcc. It is "just" a compiler.
If you want to use graphics in your programs, running on windows, while
possibly developing with linux you should look at GTK+ and Qt or wxWindows.
GTK+ is a C-API which knows about some abstract window management and graphic
routines. Qt and wxWindows are both C++.
All those libraries aren't that simple, but very capable. As far as I can
say, there is now really easy method to plot around on the screen, since
systems like to have control over what the user sees on his screen,
regardless of X-Windows or MS-Windows.
Of course there is a svgalib that can communicate with the graphics card
directly, but I fear there is no way to have it working on Windows.
