Graphics mode Initialization
initgraph() function is used to load the graphics drivers and initialize the
graphics system. For every function, that uses graphics mode, graphics mode
must be initialized before using that function.
void far initgraph(int far *driver, int far *mode, char far *path)
Function detectgraph
Detectgraph function determines the graphics hardware in the system, if the
function finds a graphics adapter then it returns the highest graphics mode
that the adapter supports.
void far detectgraph(int far *driver, int far *mode)
Integer that specifies the graphics driver to be used. You can give graphdriver
a value using a constant of the graphics_drivers enumeration type.
Integer that specifies the initial graphics mode (unless *graphdriver =
DETECT). If *graphdriver = DETECT, initgraph sets *graphmode to the highest
resolution available for the detected driver. You can give *graphmode a value
using a constant of the graphics_modes enumeration type.
Function closegraph
This function shutdown the graphics mode and returns to the position it was
before the initgraph function was called.
void far closegraph(void)
Example 1:
#include
#include
void main()
{
int gd=DETECT, gm;
initgraph(&gd, &gm, "c:\\turboc\\bgi");
circle(200,100,150);
getch();
closegraph();
}
Example 2:
#include
#include
void main()
{
int gd=DETECT, gm;
initgraph(&gd, &gm, " c:\\turboc\\bgi");
circle(100,100,50);
outtextxy(75,170, "Circle");
rectangle(200,50,350,150);
outtextxy(240, 170, "Rectangle");
ellipse(500, 100,0,360, 100,50);
outtextxy(480, 170, "Ellipse");
line(100,250,540,250);
outtextxy(300,260,"Line");
getch();
closegraph();
}
