How to use borland C for drawing

[freedom927]

hello, i would like ask something about the borland C. The question is how to use borland C to construct a finite elements L-shape structure in borland C ? And how to colour the structure by using borland C ?
Help, this urgent...
Thanks.

i don't think borland has imbedded grpahics libraries...

You could always try to find good old graphics.h (with its other libraries)
though Opengl with{Glut or SDL,the rendering windows} is open source.
Personally I prefer Opengl/sdl but with glut its pretty easy to learn.

With finite elements- I assume you also need to code some vector/matrix structs. Not sure if there are any open source libraries for those, but numerical recipes( nr.com) has its libraries for use.
If in doubt code it in Matlab/Maple

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your question about using Borland C for drawing. I am happy to assist you.

To construct a finite elements L-shape structure in Borland C, you will need to use the graphics.h library. This library contains functions for drawing basic shapes such as lines, rectangles, and circles. You can use these functions to construct the L-shape structure by specifying the coordinates of each point and connecting them with lines.

To color the structure, you can use the setcolor() function from the graphics.h library. This function allows you to specify a color code or name to fill in the shape with. You can also use the setfillstyle() function to specify a pattern or texture for the color.

Here is an example code for constructing a simple L-shape structure and coloring it red:

#include <graphics.h> // include graphics.h library

int main()
{
int gd = DETECT, gm; // initialize graphics driver and mode
initgraph(&gd, &gm, ""); // initialize graphics mode

// draw L-shape structure using line function
line(100, 100, 100, 200); // line from (100,100) to (100,200)
line(100, 200, 200, 200); // line from (100,200) to (200,200)

// color the structure red
setcolor(RED); // set color to red
setfillstyle(SOLID_FILL, RED); // set fill style to solid with red color
floodfill(101, 101, RED); // fill the structure with red color

getch(); // wait for user input
closegraph(); // close graphics mode
return 0;
}

I hope this helps you with your project. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Best of luck!
