I wrote packages to do graphics under DOS in Ada in the late 1980s and
early 1990s, so either your professor didn't know what he was talking
about (not uncommon where Ada was concerned) or you misunderstood him. I
worked on one project in which the SW was developed on a Unix machine
for a DOS target, and the terminals we used on the Unix machine didn't
have graphics capabilities, so we were unable to include graphics in the
SW. The project manager interpreted this as "you can't do graphics in
Ada," but he was just stupid.
For very simple graphics under Win32, you can use AdaGraph, in addition
to the other fine libraries mentioned in this thread.
