Dear C programmers,

MS-DOS platform using the graphics.lib library and bgi drivers... if
yes, then how?..
plz help.

Sure ! OpenGL and GTK+, QT and many others libs are for you

Yes, you can do graphics programming on Linux, but it won't use the
same libraries or drivers as MS-DOS.

This is way beyond the scope of this newsgroup (which is concerned with
discussion of the C language itself, not how it's applied across
various domains), so your best bet is to Google on "Linux graphics
programming".

If you're using the K Desktop Environment, I know that the kdevelop
tool provides support for setting up frames and widgets. Word of
warning: it seems that most graphics toolkits for Linux are C++-based,
so I don't know how well they'd integrate into a C-based application.

We must also mention SDL, which is a complete multimedia library.

#include <platform_specific_graphics.h>

int main(void)
{
platform_specific_graphic_open();
platform_specific_graphics_draw_circle();

/* may need some code to wait here */

platform_specific_graphics_close();

return 0;
}

When you compile, it may refuse to link. You need to look up how to link
platform_specific_graphics. Often it will be something
like -lplatform_graphics.

thanx for directing me into the right track

Except this is not the right place for either the question or the
answer. The only acceptable answer is a redirection to a newsgroup
that applies. I would expect one of Linux, Unix, Posix to appear
in the group name.

Please DO NOT answer OT questions here. There is nobody to correct
you, and it is unnecessary clutter.
