    Create 2 separate programs.

    1. Create a program to read data from parallel port and fprintf() it to a file. Check that the text file which is produced contains the data you expect.

    2. Create a program to plot a graph from a fixed set of XY coordinates stored within the program
    Code:
    int coords[] = { 0,0, 100,100, 200,200, 300,500 };
    When both programs work individually, think about joining them together.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Thanks for your quickly response,Salem.
    I have a program which can read the data from parallel port, but i expected not to save the data into a file, and plot the data on pc screen in real time. what library function i need to call?
    Thanks.
