    moveTo and Lineto will drawl something, heres an example: This will drawl Hello World inside of two lines.

    Code:
    /*	Steven Billington
    	September 9, 2002
    	hwgraphics.cpp
    	This program will display hello world with lines around it. Simple
    	graphics demonstration.
    */
    
    #include <graphics.h>
    
    int main ()
    
    {
    
    	lineTo (100,100);
    
    	moveTo (50,50);
    
    	lineTo (50,0);
    
    	moveTo (50,50);
    
    	lineTo (150,50);
    
    	outText (55,100, "HelloWorld!");
    
    	moveTo (50,130);
    
    	lineTo (150,130);
    
    	return 0;
    
    }

    First off not to be rude thats a horrible example because graphics.h is not standard, its old as hell which means you must be using borland turbo C/C++ 3.1 or earlier.

    Visual C++ .NET actually, the graphics.h file i use is from the student files that go with my CS2 book.

    Sorry if it sucks but he said ANYTHING. It doesn't seem hes put much effort into finding it himself so i didn't put an incredible amount of effort into my example.

    Umm, you can't just download a header and expect it to work. Check the FAQ to see why
    IDE: Dev C++ 5
    Lib: Allegro
    OS: Windows 2000

    With that attitude you wont learn anything Stan. heres something for you to play with

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    int main()
    {
        cout << "Hello";
        return 0;
    }

    That's not right either, Kirdra.

    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
     {
       cout << "Hello World";
      
       return 0;
     }

    I never use; using namespace std... I read I didn't "need" to.

    Lightbulb I know

    I know somewhat how to program. I can print words on the screen etc. I don't know how to make graphics. Whenever I try to use <graphics.h> or "graphics.h" it says unknown file and i have the allegro files. HELP!

    thats actually quite rite.

    There is no need to use namespace here, and her example is fine for what it is.

    Stan thats because u need to have graphics.h installed, use the download i supplied for you to get it.
