This repo is just last 2007 changed version of ezdisp (yet another simple graphics library) from here:
http://morihit.net/ezxdisp/
ezxdisp-0.1.4.tar.gz on that page does not match mentioned MD5 checksum: 15e96cebf9796c7dc1775c4b3324776f.
I found file with correct MD5 checksum on hackaday.io. The file is used to build this repo, local copy:
origin/ezxdisp-0.1.4.tar.gz
Building instructions, documentation, screenshots, ... on the website linked to above.
No updates for 15 years, but this library is still good for what it was built for.
This repo should just make it easier to clone/fork.
Only ezxdisp-0.1.4/, LICENSE, origin/, README.md and (top level) Makefile added to original.
This commit fixed some "unused variable" compiler warnings in 2007 codes.
On forum request first this repo runs in Geany IDE. And g++ support was added as well (library build with gcc only). These are the installation instructions:
cd
git clone https://github.com/Hermann-SW/ezxdisp.git
cd ezxdisp
make install
In Geany, go to "Build->Set Build Commands" and set "2. Build" command to
gcc -Wall -o "%e" "%f" -lezx -lX11 -lm
for gcc or
g++ -Wall -o "%e" "%f" -lezx -lX11 -lm -Wno-write-strings
for g++. Open any file from "~/ezxdisp/samples/*.c" in IDE, press F9 to build without warnings, and then F5 to run.
Just while we are here, below is copied in screenshot page from the website, with two animations added:

In 2025 I started implementation of optimization with Ruin and Recreate for TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem), and used ezxdisp for graphics. Similar to 2nd demo from original author of ezxdisp below, here mona-lisa100K.tsp with 100,000 cities is shown:
