Turbo C graphics Programming

To start with graphics programming, Turbo C is a good choice. Even though DOS has its own limitations, it is having a large number of useful functions and is easy to program. To implement graphics algorithms, To give graphical display of statistics, To view signals from any source, we can use C graphics. Here is a article to start programming with Turbo C. 'Run and Learn' is our method. We have used source codes throughout the explanations. Just execute them to understand what is happening.

Turbo C has a good collection of graphics libraries. If you know the basics of C, you can easily learn graphics programming. To start programming, let us write a small program that displays a circle on the screen. /* simple.c example 1.0 */ #include #include void main() { int gd=DETECT, gm; initgraph(&gd, &gm, "c:\\turboc3\\bgi " ); circle(200,100,150); getch(); closegraph(); } To run this program, you need graphics.h header file, graphics.lib library file and Graphics driver (BGI file) in the program folder. These files are part of Turbo C package. In all our programs we used 640x480 VGA monitor. So all the programs are according to that specification. You need to make necessary changes to your programs according to your screen resolution. For VGA monitor, graphics driver used is EGAVGA.BGI.
