for ANSI Standard C++
JL Popyack
Horstmann provides an ASCII-based (text only) graphics package. This package does not require the use of any specialized graphics libraries, so it should work on any ANSI Standard C++ compiler.
Before you can do graphics, you need to do some code library installation.
Download the following zip file:
, which contains Horstamnn's code libraries for graphics, and also other code
used in his text.
(NOTE: This is a local copy; the original can be found at http://www.horstmann.com/ccc/ccc3e.zip)
Unzip these files in a reasonable spot on your hard drive.
Create a new project, and make a standard console application.
Add the cccfiles directory to the include path, in whatever way this is done for your compiler (users of Visual C++ v6.0 or Visual Studio .NET can see instructions for those compilers by clicking the appropriate link).
Add ccc_win.h, ccc_asc.cpp and ccc_shap.cpp to the project (also ccc_asc.h and ccc_shap.h), by clicking on Project -> Add to Project -> Files, and selecting these files.
Now, create a new source file and add it to the project.
#include "ccc_win.h"
int ccc_win_main()
{
Point origin(0,0) ;
Point p(4, 2.5);
Line myLine(origin, p);
Circle smallCircle(p, 2.2);
Circle bigCircle(origin, 6);
cwin << origin << p << myLine
<< smallCircle << bigCircle;return 0;
}
Compile and run your program. If you're lucky, all goes well, you should
produce a console window with the following output.
