You must mean "using this wizzy graphics package I have that has a C
interface, it is easy".

Write a binding to the wizzy graphics package, and do the same things
you were doing in C.

Then publish the binding, so the rest of us can do the same :).

I'd like to see that, enough that I'll offer to help. I wrote Windex,
an Ada binding to Win32. If you don't mind being restricted to
Windows, it's a good way to go (see
http://users.erols.com/leakstan/Stephe/Ada/windex.html). I can help
you write the binding to the wizzy graphics package, or just use
Windex straight.
