Like the error message says, you need to call initgraph() first.

You could also do with a more modern compiler for your more modern OS (I'm guessing).

[ssharish2005]

It looks like you are using some old compiler, just a guess Turbo C compiler? It an very old compiler which is not support any more. Why not try some new compiler. Perhaps you could use a modern library for graphics as well. If you are on UNIX envi use Openly or if you are windows use DirectX you could even use OpenGL on windows as well.

To just point out a good compiler with the IDE use Dev-C++ is good.

i am using a turbo c2 compiler

also plz tell me syntax of initgraph();
THANK YOU all for the help

[ssharish2005]

void initgraph(int far *graphdriver, int far *graphmode, char far *pathtodriver);

An example

int gd=DETECT, gm;

initgraph(&gd, &gm, "c:\\turboc3\\bgi " );
