graphics programming in windows - pls help

[abhijeetnayak]

look at the follwing code .

#include <graphics.h>

main ()
{
       int gd=DETECT,gm;
       
      initgraph(&gd,&gm,"c:\\tc\\bgi"); // remember there is no bgi       
                                                          // files in borland c++ 5.5
      
      setcolor ( RED);
      line ( 25,25,100,25);
      
      closegraph();
      restorecrtmode();
}

can any body suggest how to compile this code in windows based compilers such as borland c++ builder, dev-c++ etc .

thanks.

yeah, forget it.
That's old 16-bit, low resolution blah blah blah code.

In dev-c++, find the devpack which downloads libsdl
Then goto http://www.libsdl.org/index.php and read the tutorials, download the samples and learn a graphics API for this millenium.

For advanced graphics, go for OpenGL..to use opengl in dev-cpp, here is a tutorial ZeusCMD OpenGL Tutorial..
