Functions in Graphics

-

 • There are many built-in functions in Turbo c (BGI) Borland Graphics Interface is a graphics library that supports graphics in Turbo C.

• Note: This function is only supportable in Turbo c (BGI compliers is only available in turbo c.

• There are total 50 built-in functions available for use, we will discuss it one by one.

• Note: A short discription, Example and a program for each function.

• So let's start with Basic one:

1) initgraph(&gd, &gm," path of bgi")  

=> This function is used to initialize terminal default mode i.e. text mode into graphic mode.

=> Parameter: 

1) The address of gd.

2) address of gm.

3) path of BGI files.

* gd is graphic driver(instruction) which is initialised to DETECT which is a macro define in "graphic.h" header file.

* gm is graphic mode.

* Path where your BGI files are present (you have to adjust this accordingly where you Turbo C compiler is installed).

Output: It will be a black screen but in graphic mode.


2) closegraph

=> Is used to close graph mode and switch back in default (text) mode.


3) Bar function

=> Is used to draw a bar graph.

=> Syntax: bar( x_top,y_top,                       x_bottom,y_bottom)

• 


=> In above Image there is two points which denotes x_top & y_top one point and x_bottom & y_ bottom as second point.

• 


=> When those 2 points are join we get a bar and yeah it's done through bar function, you have to just give proper co-ordinates.

=> Example bar(100, 300, 250, 450)

 • so 100 is on x-axis top and 300 on y-axis top, 150 on x-axis bottom and 450 on y-axis bottom.

* Note: graph coordinate is little different here: 


=> Above image depict the coordinate system of graphic.

=> Output: bar(100, 300, 250, 450)


🎨Program we will plot a program for census of population of last 25 year's base on arbitrary values.

• This program consist of following built-in functions:

1) setbkcolor

2) setcolor,

3) bar,

4) outtextxy, and 

5)  settextstyle 

• So let's first understand this functions.

1) setbkcolor

• This function is used to change the current background color of screen (terminal).

• Remember default background color of terminal is black and default drawing color is white.

• Syntax: void setbkcolor(int color or name of color);

• Ex: setbkcolor(YELLLOW)


2) setcolor 

• setcolor() is used to change current "drawing" color.

• Remember that default drawing color is WHITE.

• Ex:  setcolor(RED) or setcolor(4) changes the current drawing color to RED. 

• Available color in Turbo C graphics are as follows:

Colors table

Color                    Value

BLACK                     0

BLUE                        1

GREEN                     2

CYAN                        3

RED                          4

MAGENTA               5

BROWN                   6

LIGHTGRAY            7

DARKGRAY             8

LIGHTBLUE            9

LIGHTGREEN         10

LIGHTCYAN            11

LIGHTRED              12

LIGHTMAGENTA   13

YELLOW                  14

WHITE                     15

3) outtext and outtextxy 

**Do not use text mode functions like printf, gotoxy etc while working in graphics mode. 

Also note '\n' or other escape sequences do not work in graphics mode. You have to ensure that the text doesn't go beyond the screen while using outtext.

• outtext function displays text at current position, whereas outtextxy displays text at mentioned position before that knowing syntax of both function is very important.

• Syntax:

a) outtext(" Text")

b) outtextxy (int x-point, int y-point," Text")

• Ex: outtext("Computer Graphics")

• Ex: outtextxy (200,300,"Computer Graphics")

4) settextstyle 

• settextstyle function is used to change the current style of text.

• By using it we can modify the size of text, change direction of text and change the font of text.

•  syntax: void settextstyle( int font, int direction, int charsize)

• a) Direction :

1)  HORIZ_DIR (Left to right) 

2)  VERT_DIR (Bottom to top).

• b) Font: 

 Name.                             Value

DEFAULT_FONT             0

TRIPLEX_FONT              1

SMALL_FONT                 2

SANS_SERIF_FONT        3

GOTHIC_FONT                4 

SCRIPT_FONT                  5

 SIMPLEX_FONT              6

 TRIPLEX_SCR_FONT       7

 COMPLEX_FONT             8

 EUROPEAN_FONT           9

 BOLD_FONT                     10

• Ex: settextstyle(0, HORIZ_DIR, 1);

Output: 


• In next post we will see some other amazing functions like circle, rectangle and other shapes.

Line Basic Concepts

Image
 • We are going to study about Line Basic Concepts on Raster Screen. • so we are going to discuss what are the different ways in which line can be represented on Raster Screen and some of there respective features. 1) Vertical and Horizontal Line  • They have same width. • Straight line.  • Effective spacing is less. • More brighter. 2) 45° Line  • Width is not a constraint.  • Straight line. • More effective spacing. • Less brighter. Explanation:  • Point to remember is when there is more spacing between the points of line less brighter it will be and vice versa.  • But more spacing leads to effectiness in orientation of line. 3) Line with other orientation • In both of the above image the lines are nethier straight nor of same width. • Here points of line that is Pixel is approximated because while drawing the single line at point we get two points one is above the line and another is below the line. • But here approximation doesn't make a wide diffe...

Sample programs

 • We are going to discuss some simple programs in turbo C before going to graphics program that is terminal in graphic mode. • So simple programs in text mode. 1) Program to print Hello world on different line. #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int main() {     int c= 5;      for(int i=0;i<12; i=i+2)     {     gotoxy(c,i);     printf("Hello world!");     c=c+2;     } getch(); return 0; } Explanation: • we have also discussed prior about text mode in Turbo C let's understand it in short. • So this is the image representation of text mode where: 1) screen is divided in Rows and Columns. 2) we have 80 rows and 25 columns 3) Here first coordinate is of column and another is row example: (80,25) • 80 is column and 25 is row only in turbo C text mode it's reverse as it is normally. 4)  program we did above is of Controlling the cursor with the help of function gotoxy( )  it's a functio...

Types of Computer Monitor

 • We all use in are day to day life different types of Computer for instance different color, size, shape, and brand, we also have different types of monitor too. • So let's have a look on different types of monitor available in market • Different types of monitor 1) CRT (Cathode Ray tube) 2) LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) 3) TFT (Thin Film Transistor) 4) LED (light Emitting Diodes) • There are two type of CRT display available: 1) Raster Scan Display 2) Vector Scan Display • We will discuss both the display one by one, but before that we will study how CRT works? in further post. * You can leave a comment if you have doubt in it.
