How is Graphic used

First of all we have to call the initgraph function that will intialize the graphics mode on the computer. initigraph have the following prototype.

 void initgraph(int far *graphdriver, int far *graphmode, char far *pathtodriver);
Initgraph initializes the graphics system by loading a graphics driver from disk (or validating a registered driver) then putting the system into

graphics mode.Initgraph also resets all graphics settings (color, palette, current position, viewport, etc.) to their defaults, then resets graphresult to 0.

*graphdriver

Integer that specifies the graphics driver to be used. You can give graphdriver a value using a constant of the graphics_drivers enumeration type.

*graphmode
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.

*pathtodriver
Specifies the directory path where initgraph looks for graphics drivers (*.BGI) first.

If they’re not there, initgraph looks in the current directory.
If pathtodriver is null, the driver files must be in the current directory.
*graphdriver and *graphmode must be set to valid graphics_drivers and graphics_mode values or you’ll get unpredictable results. (The exception is graphdriver = DETECT.)

After a call to initgraph, *graphdriver is set to the current graphics driver, and *graphmode is set to the current graphics mode. You can tell initgraph to use a particular graphics driver and mode, or to autodetect the attached video adapter at run time and pick the corresponding driver. If you tell initgraph to autodetect, it calls detectgraph to select a graphics driver and mode.

Normally, initgraph loads a graphics driver by allocating memory for the driver (through _graphgetmem), then loading the appropriate .BGI file from disk.As an alternative to this dynamic loading scheme, you can link a graphics driver file (or several of them) directly into your executable program file.

Here is a sample program that initializes the graphics mode in C Language.

#include <graphics.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main(void)
{
/* request auto detection */
  int gdriver = DETECT, gmode, errorcode;
/* initialize graphics mode */
  initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, "");
/* read result of initialization */
  errorcode = graphresult();
if (errorcode != grOk) /* an error occurred */
  {
    printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
    printf("Press any key to halt:");
    getch();
    exit(1); /* return with error code */
  }
/* draw a line */
  line(0, 0, getmaxx(), getmaxy());
/* clean up */
  getch();
  closegraph();
  return 0;
}

Putimage function in c

putimage function outputs a bit image onto the screen. Declaration:- void putimage(int left, int top, void *ptr, int op); putimage puts the bit image previously saved with getimage back onto the screen, with the upper left corner of the image placed at (left, top). ptr points to the area in memory where the source image is stored. The op argument specifies a operator that controls how the color for each destination pixel on screen is computed, based on pixel already on screen and the corresponding source pixel in memory. c smiling face animation This animation using c draws a smiling face which appears at random position on screen. See output below the code, it will help you in understanding the code easily. C programming code #include<graphics.h> #include<conio.h> #include<stdlib.h>   main() { int gd = DETECT, gm, area, temp1, temp2, left = 25, top = 75; void *p;   initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");   setcolor(YELLOW);
