Help with Linux

[sjaycohn]

Hey Guys,
I'm using SuSe 10.3, and I'm trying to find the right graphics library to solve my problem.
In Windows, you can draw the intersection between two elliptical regions.
You can also draw the intersection between any shapes (regular or not).
I need to be able to do this in linux, but I can't find the right Library that will do so.
I was playing with FLTK, but it will only let you draw ellipses - the problem is that it can only show intersections for rectangles.
What graphics library allows for intersections between regions other than rectangles?

Please Help.

have you tried gimp ?

ya....give gimp a try. it might work.

If you are speaking about an userland tool you already have your response.

If you really meant "library", you can do whatever you want with opengl. Alternatively, imagemagick is a very powerful image editing suite that can be useful in both, user and programmer lands.

I am speaking of an actual library - "programmer land" - compatible with C++
Thanks, I'll check out ImageMagick.
As for OpenGL, I couldn't find anything related to solving my problem using GLEW or GLUT.
Are there any other libraries that could solve my problem?

Drawing the intersection between regions is a computational geometry problem, and I know there are tons of algorithms out there that solve this. It's just that I was hoping there was something already implemented that's been debugged and tested.
I mean if Windows has it, and this is something a graphics library has to have, then there should be something comparable in Linux.

YES - I READ THE STICKY - WINDOWS IS NOT LINUX
