Yes, there are bindings to various graphics subsystems. Depends on what
capabilities you need, really. There is a binding to OpenGL should you
require 3D graphics, and on windows you have Claw
(http://www.rrsoftware.com/html/prodinf/claw/claw.htm), which is an
interface to the Windows functions, including the GUI functions, and
there is GtkAda, a binding to Gtk+, if you want portable graphics.
