Recommendation for basic graphics library

D

I recently ported a C++ application to FreeBSD, and am looking for a good (fast) graphics library. I'm new to BSD so have no idea what people commonly use. I need only very limited bitmap manipulation functionality: solid fills and bitblts.

Thanks
 
If you only need basic 2D functionality, then SDL might be a good choice. It's very simple and relatively well documented.
 
+1 for SDL

Other choices would be...

Cairo graphics is very similar to SDL and chances are you already have it installed since GTK 2+ has it as one of it's dependencies.

Other than that simply using OpenGL for 2D renderings (Perhaps using Glut and OpenIL for images)
