i want to know what is the role of graphics in c
is it ok to spend a lot of time on learning c graphic or to start the
new language like JAVA.

Thanks in advance.

C has no portable graphics routines which are easily available on all the platforms you are likely to use.
There are libraries like Open GL which are intended to be portable, and may be good enough for your purposes. However expect a lot of messing about trying to get Unix Open GL applications to work under Windows and vice versa.

Java is a tempting alternative if you want a basic GUI. I wouldn't discourage you from learning it. However having two languages on the go is also a nuisance.
