Introduction
So far we have been using C language for simple console output only. Most of us are
unaware that using C++, low level graphics program can also be made. This means we can
incorporate shapes,colors and designer fonts in our program. This article deals with the steps
to enable the DevC++ compiler to generate graphics .
Configuring DevC++

 Step 1: Download the DevC++ version 5.11 from here.


 Step 2: Download the Graphics header files, and etc stuff needed from the given
dropbox link.
 Step 3: Extract the contents of the rar file.
 Step 4: Go to the location where DevC++ is installed. For me its D drive. Go inside
the MinGW64 folder. Copy the graphics.h and winbgim.h in the include folder and
D:\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include folder.
 Step 5:Copy the libbgi.a file into lib folder and in D:\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\x86_64-
w64-mingw32\lib folder.
 Step 6: Copy the ConsoleAppGraphics.template, ConsoleApp_cpp_graph.txt files and
paste them inside the template folder of the devc++ installer location.

Now we are done with configuring of the DevC++ to support graphics programming. We
shall write our very first graphics program now.
Running the first graphics program

1. Open DevC++. Click file ->New ->Project.


2. Make sure you get the Console Graphics option. However, we are not going to click
on it.
3. Choose Empty Project option and Give a project name and make sure the selected
language is C++.
4. Copy the following code to the editor window.
5. #include<graphics.h>
6. #include <conio.h>
7. int main()
8. {
9. int gd = DETECT, gm;
10. initgraph(&gd,&gm, "C:\\tc\\bgi");
11. circle(300,300,50);
12. closegraph();
13. getch();
14. }
15.
16. Go to “Project” menu and choose “Project Options” (or just press ALT+P).
17. Go to the “Parameters” tab In the “Linker” field, enter the following text:
-lbgi
-lgdi32
-lcomdlg32
-luuid
-loleaut32
-lole32

18. Click OK and Compile and run the project and you’ll get this output:

Program Explanation
 The initgraph function- ?Initializes the graphics system.
 In C Program execution starts with main() similarly Graphics Environment Starts with
this function.
 initgraph() initializes the graphics system by loading a graphics driver from disk (or
validating a registered driver) then putting the system into graphics mode
