    Graphics with C programming for Different shapes

    I want to know about the C programming? What is the graphics in C programming? How can I create graphics for circle,rectangle and Triangle?
    How can I build my application in C using graphics?

    Re: Graphics with C programming for Different shapes

    C is a basic purpose language that is developed by Dennis Ritchie at the AT&TBells Laboratories in 1972 for specially compatible with the Unix operating system and specially for designing system software but now a days it is being used by MS-DOS.
    It is mother language of the newer programming languages .It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler that execute the code using top to down approach.
    C supports a rich set of operators, which are symbols used within an expression and programmer can perform a lot of operation and calculation using variables and many more Like:
    1. Basic datatypes and operators
    2. Uinon and structure
    3. File handling
    4. Functions
    5. Graphics
    6. Pointers
    using these provided facility,we can build a strong application

    Using Graphics in C language
    To make a good look of our application,we use the graphics that provides a lot of shapes that are achieved by graphics codes.In a C program you need to initialize the graphics to your computer which is controlled by in-build header file "graphics.h" into the library of C.

    Graphics Mode initialization
    First of all you need to call the initgraph function which takes the following form:

    void initgraph(int far *grdriver, int far *grmode, char far *pathtodriver);
    This prototype will set the graphics system using graphics driver from disk(validating a registered driver) .

    Take a look of sample program which initialize graphics mode in C Language.

    #include <graphics.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    int main(void)
    {

    int grdriver = DETECT, grmode, errorcode;


    initgraph(&grdriver, &grmode, "");


    errorcode = graphresult();
    if (errorcode != grOk)
    {
    printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
    printf("Press any key to halt:");
    getch();
    exit(1);
    }


    line(0, 0, getmaxx(), getmaxy());


    getch();
    closegraph();
    return 0;
    }

    Creating circle in graphics in C:
    The circle command takes three parameters x coordinate ,y coordinate and radius which indicates x coordinate for Vertical axis, y coordinate for Horizontal axis and last one is radius of circle.We can construct it as follows:


    #include<graphics.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    main()
    {
    int gdriver=DETECT,gmode;
    initgraph(&gdriver,&gmode,"");
    circle(150,150,100);
    getch();
    closegraph();
    }

    Creating Rectangle in C

    To create a rectangle in you need to initialize the graphics mode first and use rectangle function to draw a rectangle. This function takes four arguments left, top, right and bottom and every parameters should be in integer. A sample program which creates a rectangle:


    #include<graphics.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    main()
    {
    int graphd=DETECT,graphm;
    initgraph(&graphd,&graphm,"");
    rectangle(100,80,100,390);
    getch();
    closegraph();
    }
