Open Graphics window
#include <graphics.h>
int main(){
initwindow(400,300);
system (pause);
return 0;
}
Close Graphics window
#include <graphics.h>
int main(){
initwindow(400,300);
while(!kbhit()); //keyboard hit
closegraph();
//system (pause);
return 0;
}

Close Graphics window
#include <graphics.h>
int main(){
initwindow(400,300);
delay(4000); //delay in milliseconds
closegraph();
//system (pause);
return 0;
}

Coordinates

Move point
int main()
{
initwindow(400,300);

moveto(0,0);

while(!kbhit());
closegraph();
return 0;
}
Draw line from point
int main()
{
initwindow(400,300);

moveto(0,0);
lineto(150,150);

while(!kbhit());
closegraph();
return 0;
}

Draw a circle
int main()
{
initwindow(400,300);

//circle(x, y, radius);
circle(150,150,50);

while(!kbhit());
closegraph();
return 0;
}

int xmax = 350;
int ymax = 250;
for (int n=0; n<5; n++){
setcolor(WHITE);
rectangle(100+(n-1)*50, 100+n*30, 100+n*50, ymax);
setfillstyle(n, n);
bar(101+(n-1)*50, 101+n*30, 100+n*50, ymax);
}

while(!kbhit());
closegraph();
return 0;
}
Adding Text

initwindow(400,300);
int xmax = 350;
int ymax = 250;
floodfill(2, 2, 6);
for (int n=0; n<6; n++){
setcolor(WHITE);
rectangle(100+(n-1)*50, 100+n*30, 100+n*50, ymax);
setfillstyle(n, n);
bar(101+(n-1)*50, 101+n*30, 100+n*50, ymax);
}
outtextxy(100, 270, "My Graph Sample");
while(!kbhit());
closegraph();
return 0;
