How To Include Graphics H In Dev C++

admin

  • The first step in any graphics program is to include graphics.h header file. The graphics.h header file provides access to a simple graphics library that makes it possible to draw lines, rectangles, ovals, arcs, polygons, images, and strings on a graphical window.
  • Jun 13, 2012  Most newbies try to play with graphical abilities of C and maybe graphics.h! As expert guys said, this is not a standard C header. If you want to learn graphics programming use one of the options that Duoas said or you can learn OpenGL, it is very low level but sdl or sfml are much better.
  • Mar 26, 2011  Free download page for Project hlanguage's graphics.h.H Language is a language derived from C And C. It is made to make the programming.

Creating 2D graphics programs under DOS is easy if you’re using [turbo c]. There is library file called graphics.h that does the tiresome work for you. But unfortunately this library is borland specific you can’t use it on other compilers.

Oct 25, 2011  Unfortunately, graphics.h is a Borland specific library and cannot be used with Dev-C. Fortunately, a benevolent soul by the name of Michael Main has modified a BGI emulation library for Windows applications to be used under MinGW (and therefore Dev-C) which he has aptly named WinBGIm. Mar 28, 2013  In new versions of dev c compiler automatically adds one source file to project. If there is no any existing source file simply add new file By chossing new file option from file menu. Type the following code and save the file. I saved file as 'main.cpp' its your chooice whatever you name it. Aug 19, 2011  Many people uses Turbo c to run c and c programs. More people want to do graphics programs.If they use windows 7 64 bit they may not be able to run Turbo c. Dev C is more user friendly.Here you can see how to run graphics programs in Dev C.

Even though some peoples somehow managed to port it outside the turbo. Some people hacked their own version of graphics.h. One such person is Micheal main, he ported some of borland graphics functions and library.

Micheal main modified BGI library for windows application to be used under MinGW. This BGI library is renamed as WinBGIm. Now you can use all the borland specific functions under Dev-C++.

InstallationÂ

In order to run graphics programs under Dev-C++ you have to download WinBGIm files. Download the files listed below.

  • Graphics.h (download to C:Dev-Cppinclude)
  • libbgi.a(download to C:Dev-Cpplib)

Once you download the files. Now you have to place into the correct location in Dev-C++ installation folder. Try to locate include and lib folder under your dev-cpp installation. Move these files under the respective folder of include and lib. like e.g. D:Dev-cpp include & D:Dev-cpplib .

Configuration
At last step you’ve downloaded & installed the WinBGIm, now you have to configure it to use under Dev-C++. You’ve to set some project options in Dev-C++ in order to run WinBGIm references properly.
Follow the steps below to set proper project options for WinBGIm.

How To Include Graphics.h In Dev C++

1. Go to the “File” menu and select “New”, “Project”,Choose “Empty Project” and make sure “C++ project” is selected. Give your project suitable name and click on “Ok”.

OR

1. You can create individual C++” source file” instead of “project”. Go to the “File” menu and select “New Source File” OR Go to the “Project” menu and select “New File”.

2. Go to “Project” menu and choose “Project Options”.
3. Go to the “Parameters” tab.
4. In the “Linker” field, enter the following text:

  • -lbgi
  • -lgdi32
  • -lcomdlg32
  • -luuid
  • -loleaut32
  • -lole32

5.Click “Ok” to save settings.
Now you’ve done with the configuration for WinBGIm. Please make sure you’ve done this step properly otherwise compiler will flag error.

Testing & Debugging

Now let’s write a small program to test how WinBGIm works. Here is the source code for the program. Type it down,save it with .cpp extension and compile and run to see the results.

#include <graphics.h>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
initwindow(800,600);
circle(200,300,600);
while(!kbhit());
closegraph();
return 0;
}

This is the program for displaying circle with respective parameters on window of size 800×600.This window will close when you press any key.If you’ve made settings correctly then you can view the graphics,without any problem.

What’s included ?
All the borland graphics batteries included, plus some additional written by other contributors of WinBGIm. With WinBGIm you can use most of the borlands graphics function & RGB colors. You can also use detectgraph() and initgraph() or you can use new function called initwindow(). You can even use some of the old mouse function such as int mousex() & int mousey() along with getmouseclick() & clearmouseclick(). For keyboard functions,you don’t have to include conio.h some of the functions are supported without it like void delay(int millisec),int getch( ),int kbhit( ).

If you want to capture the screen where you’ve created your graphics. You can do it with help of these functions getimage(),imagesize(), printimage(), putimage(), readimagefile() ,writeimagefile().

Help & Support
If you’re into some trouble with installation & configuration,then please post your questions here. But please don’t post homework problems or your custom projects.Google groups is the right place to get answers in such cases. You can even get lot of support with WinBGIm and Dev-C++ at Google groups. If you want to read about the WinBGIm documentation & FAQ.

If you’ve any question or suggestion then don’t hesitate to post it here.If you know any alternative than WinBGIm,please post about it here.

How do I use Borland Graphics Interface (graphics.h)?

For those of you migrating from Borland, you may be wondering where graphics.h is. Unfortunately, graphics.h is a Borland specific library and cannot be used with Dev-C++. Fortunately, a benevolent soul by the name of Michael Main has modified a BGI emulation library for Windows applications to be used under MinGW (and therefore Dev-C++) which he has aptly named WinBGIm.
The files we need are:
graphics.h
(download to C:Dev-Cppinclude)
libbgi.a
(download to C:Dev-Cpplib)
After you have downloaded the files to the correct locations, you can now use WinBGIm’s graphic.h as you would Borland’s graphics.h with a few caveats.
Using library files:
First, you have to tell Dev-C++ where to find the library functions that WinBGIm references–this is done in the “Project Options&#8221; dialog box.
Here are instructions on how to do this with a new project:
• Go to “Project&#8221; menu and choose “Project Options&#8221; (or just press ALT+P).
• Go to the “Parameters&#8221; tab
• In the “Linker&#8221; field, enter the following text:
-lbgi
-lgdi32
-lcomdlg32
-luuid
-loleaut32
-lole32
Project Options -> Parameters:

• Click “OK&#8221;.

Test code:

Dev

Just to make sure you’ve got everything set up correctly, try this test code in a new Dev-C++ WinBGIm project:
#include

int main()
{
initwindow(400,300); //open a 400×300 graphics window
moveto(0,0);
lineto(50,50);
while(!kbhit()); //wait for user to press a key
closegraph(); //close graphics window
return 0;
}

or

#include

Including Graphics.h In Dev C++

int main()
{
initwindow(800,600); //open a 800×600 graphics window
moveto(0,0);
lineto(50,50);
rectangle(50,50,150,150);
circle(200,200,100);
while(!kbhit()); //wait for user to press a key
closegraph(); //close graphics window
return 0;
}
