SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on using Borland C for constructing and coloring a finite elements L-shape structure. Participants suggest utilizing the old graphics.h library for basic graphics functionality, while recommending OpenGL with GLUT or SDL for more advanced rendering capabilities. Additionally, the need for coding vector and matrix structures is highlighted, with references to Numerical Recipes as a potential resource for libraries. For those unfamiliar with coding, using MATLAB or Maple is proposed as an alternative approach.
