Commands With Windows.h In Dev C++

Nov 28, 2015 You need to understand that the header file code c /code was created to facilitate calls to System API and the OS, so that programmers could use system calls such as code cdelay (int)/code or code csleep (int) /code in t. Dec 16, 2017 To manually add files, copy graphics.h and winbgim.h files in include folder of your compiler directory which is C: Program Files (x86) CodeBlocks MInGW. And copy libbgi.a to lib folder of your.

C graphics using graphics.h functions or WinBGIM (Windows 7) can be used to draw different shapes, display text in different fonts, change colors and many more. Using functions of graphics.h in Turbo C compiler you can make graphics programs, animations, projects, and games. You can draw circles, lines, rectangles, bars and many other geometrical figures. You can change their colors using the available functions and fill them. Following is a list of functions of graphics.h header file. Every function is discussed with the arguments it needs, its description, possible errors while using that function and a sample C graphics program with its output.

C graphics examples

1. Drawing concentric circles

#include <graphics.h>

int main()
{
int gd = DETECT, gm;
int x =320, y =240, radius;
initgraph(&gd,&gm,'C:TCBGI');
for( radius =25; radius <=125; radius = radius +20)
circle(x, y, radius);
getch();
closegraph();
return0;
}

2. C graphics program moving car

#include <graphics.h>
#include <dos.h>

int main()
{
int i, j =0, gd = DETECT, gm;

initgraph(&gd,&gm,'C:TCBGI');

settextstyle(DEFAULT_FONT,HORIZ_DIR,2);
outtextxy(25,240,'Press any key to view the moving car');

getch();

for( i =0; i <=420; i = i +10, j++)
{
rectangle(50+i,275,150+i,400);
rectangle(150+i,350,200+i,400);
circle(75+i,410,10);
circle(175+i,410,10);
setcolor(j);
delay(100);

if( i 420)
break;
if( j 15)
j =2;

cleardevice();// clear screen
}

getch();
closegraph();
return0;
}

C graphics functions

C graphics programs

Graphics in Windows 7 or Vista

Most of the functions are two dimensional except bar3d which draws a 3d bar, you can also implement these functions using already existing algorithms. You can also use these functions in C++ programs. You can use these functions for developing programs in Windows 7 and Vista using Dev C++ compiler. For that you need to download an additional package WinBGIm, download WinBGIm. Now open Dev C++ compiler go to Tools->Package Manager, use install button and then browse the package location. Now create a new project and select WinBGIm. This library also offers many functions which can be used for image manipulation, you can open image files, create bitmaps and print images, RGB colors and mouse handling.

windows.h is a Windows-specific header file for the C and C++ programming languages which contains declarations for all of the functions in the Windows API, all the common macros used by Windows programmers, and all the data types used by the various functions and subsystems. It defines a very large number of Windows specific functions that can be used in C. The Win32 API can be added to a C programming project by including the <windows.h> header file and linking to the appropriate libraries. To use functions in xxxx.dll, the program must be linked to xxxx.lib (or libxxxx.dll.a in MinGW). Some headers are not associated with a .dll but with a static library (e.g. scrnsave.h needs scrnsave.lib).

Child header files[edit]

There are a number of child header files that are automatically included with windows.h. Many of these files cannot simply be included by themselves (they are not self-contained), because of dependencies.
