Graphics Programming in C: initgraph, graphics.h Functions and Modern Alternatives
Graphics programming in C starts with graphics.h and initgraph(). Learn the BGI functions, run them on modern systems, then step up to SDL2 and raylib.

LibGD – Dynamic Image Creation Library
LibGD is an open source Graphics library for the creation of images dynamically by programmers. GD is written in C, and “wrappers” are available for Perl, PHP and other languages. GD is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve website development. It allows to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG or JPEG file.
Bank Management Program
This is an automated software system written in C programming language for Bank Management which can handle accounts for customers. It uses files to handle the daily transactions, account management and user management. Its not a complete accounting software just like implemented in the banks, but still it can manage the accounts of the customers using the files at back end. It has a nice graphical layout written in C Language.
Java Swing GUI Example Program
This Java source code is an example of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with different GUI elements such as TextBox, Buttons, TextArea, Text Area and Labels. It is implemented using Java Swing API which provides a set of “lightweight” (all-Java language) components. This code example extends the functionality of JFrame class to show a JFrame window and Implements ActionListener on buttons to catch the click event on those buttons.
Chess – Knight’s Tour Implementation in C++
This C++ program is tour of knight on 64 square of chess board. The goal is to place a knight on an empty chess board and then move the knight to each of the remaining 63 squares while only visiting each square once. If on visiting the last square the knight is able to hop to the square on which it first started it is known as a closed tour (and so the knight could resume the exact same sequence of moves to complete another tour) while if the knight is unable to hop to the original square, it is known as an open tour.
graphics: graphics.h Header File
This is the graphics.h header file which contains all the graphics functions and their implementations. It is quite nice to have a look at header files just to know more about functions and their parameters. Also it tells about different structures, enums defined in the file for specific purpose.
Graphical Scientific Calculator with Advance Features
This is a C implementation of basic and few advance scientific features of calculator. It shows a nice graphical UI of the calculator with 3D buttons and demonstrates click button animation functionality. The functionalities of the calculator includes: Basic Mathematics (Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide), Advance Mathematics (Square root, Square, Cube), Logarithmic Functions (Log, Natural Log (ln), e, Exponential), Number Conversions (Binary, Decimal, Hexadecimal and Octal), Trigonometric Functions (Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cotangent, Secant and Cosecant), Angle Measurement (Degree, Radia and Gradian), Other Functions (Memory, Pi and Inv).
Drawing Graphics by using C Programing Language
This is a C Language Program to show the drawing and filling of some basic shapes like rectangle, circle etc. with colors and different shades by using Turbo C graphics.h and modern SDL libraries.
Microsoft DirectX Programming: DirectX Components
Microsoft DirectX is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) for multimedia-related tasks, such as gaming, video playback, and graphics rendering. DirectX provides a standardized way for software developers to access hardware resources like graphics cards, sound cards, and input devices.
Programming Mouse in C and C++
This article describes interfacing of the mouse using C/C++ programming. It contains information about different mouse cursor functions.
Graphics Library (graphics.h) Reference (part 3)
In the previous two posts (Graphics Library Reference part 1 and part 2) I have discussed few important functions of graphics.h library in C Programming. As promised here is the sample C language program which will demonstrate the use of graphics functions using C language and draw some geometrical shapes on the console. If you have followed the previous two posts the you will not find the source code difficult to compile and execute. If you still experience any problems using the source code or compiling the code the please do let me know, and I will try to figure it out.
Graphics Library (graphics.h) Reference (part 2)
In the previous post I discussed few important functions mostly used to initialize and destroy the graphics mode in DOS environment. Today I will discuss graphics functions to draw different shapes and lines. So here we go by starting the line function which is most important function in creating any graphics.
