The graph.lib library contains some graphics primitives that may be useful-
especially to Turbo Pascal programmers converting to Turbo C and who have
used some of the built-in Turbo Pascal graphic functions.

These routines are for the IBM Color Graphic Adapter only! They are highly
optimized for speed by writing directly to the screen buffer in memory
(location 0xB8000). They are for the high resolution graphics mode only - 640
by 200 pixels (black background, one color foreground).

This library is being offered as shareware. You can use these routines in
your programs as long as they are for your personal use. If you want to use
them in a program for sale to others, see the legal status section below.
Look below also if you would like to purchase the source code for graph.lib.

This package: GRAPH.ARC includes the following files:

GRAPH.LIB - The library of graphics primitives described below.

GRAPH.H - The function prototype header to be included in your
programs that use graph.lib

GRDEMO.C - An example program showing how to used graph.lib.

GRDEMO.PRJ - The Turbo C project file for GRDEMO.C.

GLOBAL.H - Declarations of global vars used by graph.lib.
Include this in your program.

GLOB_EXT.H - The same global vars declared as externals to be
included in your sub-modules (if any).

GLOB_DEF.H - Some useful macros and definitions. Include this in
your programs that use graph.lib

GRAPH.DOC - What you are reading.









Functions in Graph.lib
----------------------

In the following functions (except for gotoxy), the values of x must be in
the range from 0 to 639, and the values of y must be in the range of 0 to
199.

The global variable: draw_option controls what happens when a pixel is drawn.
If draw_option = NORMAL (its initialized state), the pixel will be set to on
regardless of its current setting. If draw_option = XOR_MODE, the pixel will
be xor'd with its current setting. This lets you draw over existing images
with a transparent effect.

Please refer to the example program GRDEMO.C for example usage.


int baseaddress(int y);

baseaddress returns the line offset in the screen buffer for Y. You can
directly access the graphics screen by referring to the global variable:
screen. For example to set eight dots a location x and y:

screen[baseaddress(y) + (x >> 3)] = 0xff;

Note that x is divided by 8 to offset to the byte on the selected line.


BYTE hardwarepresent();

returns true (1) if the CGA is present, otherwise returns false (0). A call
to hardwarepresent should be made before any other graphics calls to ensure
that your program has the correct environment. (Note that BYTE is an unsigned
char as defined in GLOB_DEF.H)


void init_graphics(int mode);

This sets the graphics mode. Since these graphics functions support high res
mode only, the mode value must be 6 (for 640 by 200 graphics mode) and 3 (to
return to 80 by 25 text mode). The defined constants: HIGHRES and TEXTMODE
are declared in GLOB_DEF.H for this purpose.

Also, the macros: textmode() and hires() are included for compatibility with
the Turbo Pascal calls.


void hirescolor(int color);

This sets foreground color. The value of color should be in the range from 0
to 16. The valid colors are defined as constants in glob_def.h

Note, that in high res mode the background is always black, and changing the
foreground color means changing the full screen to that color.







void gotoxy(int x, int y);

This does what its counterpart in Turbo Pascal does - moves the cursor to x
(from 0 to 70) and y (from 0 to 24).


void clearscreen();

This clears the full screen.


void plot(int x, int y);

This draws one pixel at x, y using current drawing mode: NORMAL or XOR_MODE.


void draw_line(int x, int y, int newx, int newy);

This draws a line from x, y to newx, newy using the current drawing mode.


void draw_box(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2);

this draws a rectangular box given the opposing corners x1,y1 and x2,y2.


void draw_circle(int bx, int by, int tox, int toy);

This draws a circle with bx,by as its center. tox and toy define a point on
its circumference. The draw_circle function calculates the radius.


void lips(int bx, int by, int tx, int ty);

This draws an ellipse with bx,by as its center. tx and ty specify the corner
of a box within which the ellipse is drawn.
