Graphics Mode Functions in C

To display any picture on a monitor, the graphics mode is set for resolution and colour. All graphics functions can be included in a program using #include<graphics.h>

Graphics Mode Functions:

initgraph() Function: It is used to set the graphics mode. It has the following form:

initgraph(graphic_driver, graphic_mode, driver_path);

closegraph() Function: It is used to terminate the graphics mode which is set by the initgraph() function. It restores the original video mode. It has the following form:
closegraph();

getmaxx() Function: This function is used to get the maximum value of x coordinate in the current resolution.
Example:

max=getmaxx();

getmaxy() Function: It is used to get the maximum value of the y coordinate in the current resolution.
Example:

xy=getmaxy();

restorecrtmode() Function: It is also used to terminate the graphics mode and restore the original video mode. It has the following form:

restorecrtmode();

setcolor() Function: It is used to specify the colour for a graphical picture going to be displayed. It has the following form:

setcolor(m);

where m is an integer or symbol representing the colour of the drawing.

setbkcolor() Function: This function is used to set the background colour for the monitor screen. It has the following form:

setbkcolor(m);

setpalatte() Function: It is used to set the background colour with the index.
Example:
setplatte(0, RED);

putpixel() Function: This function is used to draw a point on the monitor screen. It has the following form:
putpixel(x, y, n);

line() Function: It is used to draw a line on the monitor screen in the given coordinate position. It has the following form:
line(x1, y1, x2, y2);

moveto() Function: It is used to move the control from the current position to the specified coordinate. It has the following form:
moveto(x, y);

lineto() Function: This function is used to draw a line from the current position to a specific coordinate. It has the following form:
lineto(x, y);

linerel() Function: This function is used to draw a line from the current position to a point by specifying its distance relative to the current position. It has the following form:

linerel(dx, dy);

outtext() Function: This function is used to display a text message in graphics mode at the current position. It has the following form:
outtext("text message");

outtextxy() Function: This function is used to display a text message in a specific location on the monitor screen. It has the following form:
outtextxy(m, n, "text message");

where m specifies the position on the x-axis and n specifies the position on the y-axis.
