Generate Graphs

Hi...
I'd like to ask...
can pure C used to generate graphs from more than one files' data?
if yes, then if we input the data from MS-DOS, which we use to generate and show the graphs?

thanks

Yes, if you don't mind using primitive character based graphs. Otherwise you'll need to use a third party graphics library or a language better suited to graphical programming.

... unless you use a Borland or M$ compiler which already has a graphics library.

if I use Microsoft C++ to build...what other third party language will u suggest to use together with C language?

and, if we retrieve the data from txt file, are we using SQL to retrieve? how the SQL recognize the table in text file?

thanks :)

You said you need to use pure C. Then why go for sql. You can do the same through C.

No, you are using fopen(), fgets(), fread(), routines to read data from a text file. SQL is used for database files, not text

I haven't tried any others, but I have used the allegro library for a while and found it to work well after a little time to learn it. Here is one of several possible links for it.
