ignorent noob pls help with some i/o

ok im new and this is my first post, so pls don't flame, i also did a search on this but came up with nothing, so here it goes:

i am trying to make a very simple program to do some math and print it out into a text file, i want this text file to include a picture, i came up with two ideas to deal with this;

1. use the i/o to put the picture in.

2. have the picture in a preformatted text file, then have the user type in the name that they want the new file to be called, then use the ios::app command to add the text.

in case 1. i don't know how to add the pic.
in case 2. i don't know how to rename the file.

any (postive) comments would be appeciated, thx for ur time

Not sure I understand. You can't put pictures in text files, they're big binary objects. If you mean like an HTML page, the text just holds a link to the image file.

yea srry bout that i thought i could save an image in a txt file for some reason...(im really tire...)

any way i am working in a dos window with all this code... would i be able to add a jpeg( or similar) to that? if so how

thx for the response

this program is suppose to take info from the user and list out angles, lengths, etc. then i have a picture of a ramp with lengths labeled as their corrisponding letter


here is the code:

there is some extra stuff in there htat will be used later...
