The language itself is platform independent. However, specific implementations may be platform dependant. For instance, code written with Microsoft Visual C++ is generally intended to be compiled upon Windows platforms only, not Linux or Mac platforms. Although pre-compiler directives can filter machine specific code to suit the current platform, programmers need to be careful to avoid implementation-specifics when porting code to other compilers. If code is intended to be portable, it's better to use an implementation that conforms to the ISO standard, and that has implementations for all the intended platforms to accommodate platform-specific code.

What are the parts of c plus plus environment with drawing?
C++ has no built-in graphics methods. C++ is a machine-independent programming language, but graphics are machine-dependent. To make use of graphics of any kind, you must use a suitable graphics library. If you need cross-platform support, use a generic library.
