I can still read a book and learn :-) Depends what you mean by graphics. If you mean GUI, look at GtkAda http://gtkada.eu.org/ if you mean 3D you have OpenGl binding with GtkAda and you have also now a binding to SDL. If you mean plotting data, GtkAda (with GtkExtra) or http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/. I also think there is a binding to pgplot (FORTRAN plotting library) Hope it helps -- Preben Randhol ---------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ -- iMy favorite editor is Emacs!bcwVim -- vim best-editor.txt
