As far as I know GDI+ is a Windows-only API, anyway I've read around that one might write his code in GDI+ and be able to port it to linux with something like this:

Is this true? Does anyone have experience of GDI+ applications that can also run on linux?

Yes it is sort of true, if your windows binary will run with wine then your windows source code will most likely compile using winelib aswell (Making porting quite a bit easier)

There's also the libgdiplus library used by Mono: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/drawing/

GDI+ is available on Linux through http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/drawing/. It only makes sense to use from C# - if you are using C or C++ there are much better options available.

[OpenTK: C# OpenGL 4.4, OpenGL ES 3.0 and OpenAL 1.1. Now with Linux/KMS support!]
