QB: PSET (x,y,color) C++ (DOS): ???

[Scarberry]

in QBasic there is a command called "PSET". (it puts a pixel at a certain point x,y w/ a certain color) what is the equivlent in C++ Dos applacatins? and how do i use it?
thank you

Depends on the compiler you're using. There's often a function called setpixel or putpixel.

i use dev-c++ mostly but i also have VC++ and DJGPP but i prefer Dev-CPP.

I don't know how DJGPP does graphics (SVGALib?).

If you're using DevC++ or VC++ then you're not actually writing DOS applications; you're writing 32-bit console mode Windows applications. If you want graphics on Windows you'll have to write a GUI application.

yeah i knew i wasnt writing dos apps it was just easier to say dos then a "win32 app in a dos window" . so ill have to write a windows gui app. that sucks. will i have to use direct x or open gl or is there a pset like command in the windows gui? if so how? any tuts u could point me to?

[Tim]

No, you can use GDI. The function there is SetPixel.

Did you look at the sample app I mentioned in this thread?

[scarberry]

yeah i did download it bu havnt looked at it yet. what is GDI?

thanks

[Tim]

It's the set of Windows functions that let you draw stuff to the screen.

I don't know how DJGPP does graphics (SVGALib?).

there's a library that provide pretty powerful graphic support to DJGPP: allegro.
