    egavga.bgi problem

    I am running turbo c++ IDE .I am doing some programs in graphics.
    What i am currently doing is :
    in ide i copy egavga.bgi to bin folder and give the path as "" in initgraph.
    It is working except the program need the egavag.bgi file in the same directory.
    **Then using bgiobj.exe i converted the egavga.bgi to egavga.obj and registered
    it in graphics.lib using tlib.

    compilation of my graphics.cpp is
    (i included a line "registerbgidriver(EGAVGA_driver);" before initgraph.)

    command line : TCC graphics.cpp graphics.lib egavga.obj
    it worked fine .
    but when i try to do it inside the IDE it is showing error (undefined _EGAVGA_driver).
    What is the error ?

    Are you including graphics.h?

    These are the valid constants defined in graphics.h

    Code:
    Syntax #include <graphics.h> void far initgraph(int far *graphdriver, int far *graphmode, char far *pathtodriver); Description initgraph initializes the graphics system by loading a graphics driver from disk (or validating a registered driver), and putting the system into graphics mode. To start the graphics system, first call the initgraph function. initgraph loads the graphics driver and puts the system into 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. initgraph also resets all graphics settings to their defaults (current position, palette, color, viewport, and so on) and resets graphresult to 0. 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. pathtodriver specifies the directory path where initgraph looks for graphics drivers. initgraph first looks in the path specified in pathtodriver, then (if they are not there) in the current directory. Accordingly, if pathtodriver is null, the driver files (*.BGI) must be in the current directory. This is also the path settextstyle searches for the stroked character font files (*.CHR). *graphdriver is an integer that specifies the graphics driver to be used. You can give it a value using a constant of the graphics_drivers enumeration type, which is defined in graphics.h and listed below. graphics_drivers constant Numeric value DETECT 0 (requests autodetection) CGA 1 MCGA 2 EGA 3 EGA64 4 EGAMONO 5 IBM8514 6 HERCMONO 7 ATT400 8 VGA 9 PC3270 10 *graphmode is an integer that specifies the initial graphics mode (unless *graphdriver equals DETECT, in which case *graphmode is set by initgraph to the highest resolution available for the detected driver). You can give *graphmode a value using a constant of the graphics_modes enumeration type, which is defined in graphics.h and listed below. graphdriver and graphmode must be set to valid values from the following tables, or you will get unpredictable results. The exception is graphdriver = DETECT. Palette listings C0, C1, C2, and C3 refer to the four predefined four-color palettes available on CGA (and compatible) systems. You can select the background color (entry #0) in each of these palettes, but the other colors are fixed. Palette number 0 LIGHTGREEN LIGHTRED YELLOW 1 LIGHTCYAN LIGHTMAGENTA WHITE 2 GREEN RED BROWN 3 CYAN MAGENTA LIGHTGRAY Color assigned to pixel value: 1 2 3 After a call to initgraph, *graphdriver is set to the current graphics driver, and *graphmode is set to the current graphics mode.
