HELP NEEDED FOR GRAPHICS LIBRARY!!!
-
i'm in the midst of a mini project and i would like to know the library for graphics for Visual C. library as like example: #include is for the standard input and output. I would like to those who know to help me as i'm desperate! Thank you! :confused: Jan
What do you want this library to do ? What form does your project take (MFC/Win32/ATL/etc ) ? GDI is there as standard, GDI+ requires you to install the platform SDK and distribute a DLL, it also does not work with Windows 95. You need GDI+ or an external library like CXImage to load and save images, but other than that I can't help unless you provide more info on what it is you need.

thanks for replying! i want to draw boxes with my own dimensions and maybe something like give the boxes a depression feel when the options entered from the key board.
the function is something like that: void draw_menu(char na[]) { settextjustify(0,0); setcolor(LIGHTGREEN); //{ settextstyle(TRIPLEX_FONT, HORIZ_DIR, 5); outtextxy(180,70,"Airlines"); //top inrroduction text settextstyle(TRIPLEX_FONT, HORIZ_DIR, 5); outtextxy(280,440,"Information"); //} setcolor(15);//border rectangle(0,0,639,479); BOX(55,167,291,223,0,na[0],14,1,7,12); //display schedule function box BOX(55,247,291,303,0,na[1],2,1,7,15); //display reserve function box BOX(55,327,291,383,0,na[2],15,1,7,13); //display available function box BOX(353,167,589,223,0,na[3],4,1,7,10); //display cancel function box BOX(353,247,589,303,0,na[4],1,1,7,14); //display list function box BOX(353,327,589,383,0,na[5],15,1,7,7); //display quit and save function box return; }

A quick search of MSDN confirmed what I was pretty sure of - you're using functionality provided by your prior compiler. VC is not going to compile this code, and to be honest I have no idea how to draw boxes and so on in DOS mode. Why does your program have to be a DOS program ? How old is it ?

Is this a dos program or a console application. What version of VC are you using? If it is Version 2 or greater I'd say you had a console application. Or is it using some kind of EasyWin library? Michael :-)

This is the only console/graphic library article I'm aware of. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q104/0/94.asp Hope it helps, Michael :-)

Just to add another lib: PDCurses is a free curses library (console "graphics", and windows...) that also works for Win32.
