Are you looking for a library to program with or an external tool to draw with? The term *graphics in Linux* is wider and deeper than you could imagine! Suggestions would depend on both your level of expertise and area of application.
For X-Y plots or graphs atleast, GnuPlot will kick the pants off everything else. APIs exist for various languages...
If you are looking for a very simple API, in my college-days I did some work on implementing the infamous TurboC <graphics.h> API in Linux using SDL. See: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libgraph/
It's just about suitable for college pracs and not for serious stuff. The project has been dormant for a quite some time. If this is what you want tell me and I'll send you the *lastest working copy* that I never got around releasing :-(
