Text on Graphics screen

Nearing completion on a graduate C++ project (using borland C++ ver 3.1 ----a DOS version) that gprahically displays a graph algorithm (maximum flow). I've created structures that hold values of the verticies and edges. I would like to display them on the graphic screen during the execution of the program.
Because most of the screen is taken up by the action of the graphics, I have only about a third of the screen on the right side of the screen to use for this. I am able to display the text using gotoxy( ), but am looking for a better way. Since these values are changing during the running of the program, they must be able to change dynamically. Any help would be appreciated.

What graphics library are you using?

I am using graphics.h

outtextxy(int x, int y, char *string) does the trick

I figure you can combine this with the getmaxx() and getmaxy() functions to make it change dynamically. Or you can write your own functions for that.

Here is an example usage:

Code:

#include <graphics.h>

int main()
{
   int max_x, max_y;

   // initialize your graphics whatever way

   max_x = getmaxx();
   max_y = getmaxy();

   setcolor(BLUE);
   settextjustify(CENTER_TEXT, CENTER_TEXT);
   settextstyle(SANS_SERIF_FONT, HORIZ_DIR, 5);

   outtextxy(max_x/2, max_y/2, "Hello There");

   // Close your graphics whatever way

   return 0;
}

That should display the text in the middle of the screen.

Good luck

I've posted a message a few days ago about putting text on a graphic screen using Borland C++ 3.1. Here's my problem:
I've drawn an area on the screen (I am using graphics.h) using the following functions:

setfillstyle(SOLID_FILL, BROWN);
bar3d(450,200,600,50,20,1);

This puts up a box on the upper right side of the screen. I want to display text in the 3d box. The problem is that the text is not a string, but values from a structure. In another version of the program (a purely text version), I used cout to display the data on the screen like this:

for (int z=0; z<num_vertices; z++)
cout<<"vertex["<<z<<"]";


vertex[0] is an array.


I've tried using outtextxy( ), but it only outputs a string. I want to write several lines in the box that display the current array values. As the program runs and the values change, I plan on redrawing over the 3d bar and re-writting the new text. Any suggestions?
