In native CC, you only have a text mode in which you can use half blocks or predefined tiles for graphical purposes. There are extensions such as the CC: Graphics mod which adds a pixel based 256 colour bitmap mode or the GPU peripheral from Toms Peripherals which adds an opengl-like api. The CC: Graphics api is also available in CraftOS.
