How to make a Rectangle

[kumar14878]

Hi I just want to make a Rectangle in C using graphics instead of doing like this:

void box_ma()
{
int c=60,r=1;
gotoxy(60,1);
printf("%c",218); 	// ASCII Code of ("Ú") is 218

for(r=2;r<=17;r++)
{
  gotoxy(c,r);
  printf("%c",219); 	// ASCII Code of ("³" is 179 & "Û" is 219)
}
gotoxy(60,17);
printf("%c",192); 	// ASCII Code of ("À") is 192

for(c=61;c<=76;c++)
{
  gotoxy(c,17);
  printf("%c",196); 	// ASCII Code of ("Ä") is 196
}
gotoxy(77,17);
printf("%c",217); 	// ASCII Code of ("Ù") is 217

for(r=16;r>=2;r--)
{
  gotoxy(77,r);
  printf("%c",219); 	// ASCII Code of ("³" is 179 & "Û" is 219)
}
gotoxy(77,1);
printf("%c",191); 	// ASCII Code of ("¿") is 191

for(c=76;c>=61;c--)
{
  gotoxy(c,r);
  printf("%c",196); 	// ASCII Code of ("Ä") is 196
}
}

Please help me if possible

Can get OS dependant.

Windows: FillConsoleOutputCharacter(..)
NCURSES: wborder(..)

Edit: I thought you wanted a better way to do it in the console, jesus, nevermind.

State your OS and compiler then.

So make two sub-functions called
- HorizontalLine
- VerticalLine

Then your box function becomes just 4 lines long!
