I'm currently trying to get one quite large Graphics Database Software to
work on AT/386 computers with EGA or VGA display. But because the
original machine had quite nice graphics support I've run into some
serious problems.
I'm looking for a fast and well-working Graphics Package for MicroSoft
'C'. The package should include features like lines, circles, rectangles
same as filled with pattern, including 'free fill' (Fill area with color x as
border). Also it is very important that the package would support reverse
drawing. Package should support at least EGA and VGA (CGA is not
necessary) adapters and maybe some hi-resolution monitors if possible.
It seems that the built-in graphics routines in MicroSoft 'C' 5.0 and
Turbo 1.5 C are too limited for this application. So if anyone of you
knows about a good Graphics package for MS-C, please let me know AS SON
AS POSSIBLE !
Thank You!

I have no association with GSS, Inc. But I do have their brochures. Just a
tad too pricey for the non-commercial home hacker.

Well, let's see. Turbo C supports CGA, HGA, AT&T, EGA, and VGA. It does lines, circles (and you can set the aspect ratio to make sure your circles are circular), and rectangles. It can fill bars (rectangles), 3-D bars, polygons, pie slices (including circles), and "bounded regions" (floodfill). You can pick your colors, so "reverse drawing" would seem be covered. (Unless you meant drawing in "XOR-ink", which it can only do while bitblt'ing with putimage.) What's your beef? -Paul S. R.
