graphics.h is used for drawing graphics in c language. You can draw the different shapes, graphs, or write your name using this library in c language. This library is pretty cool. But questions come in our mind that how to include graphics.h library in our CodeBlocks software and can start drawing amazing graphics. So let’s move towards the answer on how to include graphics.h in CodeBlocks…

Note: New Codeblocks version(20.03 or later) that comes with the MinGW compiler doesn’t work. If you have already installed codeblocks with the MinGW version then please uninstall it and reinstall the codeblocks setup and MinGW compiler separately. Here are the links for codeblocks and the MinGW.

Codeblocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26 (select only setup file, e.g. “codeblocks-20.03-setup.exe”)

MinGW: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/downloads/68260/mingw-get-setup.exe (After Installation add the path to the Environment variable. The path will be “C:MinGWbin”)

step 1

Download WinBGIm from http://winbgim.codecutter.org/ or use this link.

step 2

Extract the downloaded file. You’ll get three files:

• graphics.h
• winbgim.h
• libbgi.a

step 3

Copy and paste graphics.h and winbgim.h files into the include folder of your compiler directory. (If you have MinGW installed in C drive of your computer, go through Disk C >> MinGW >> include. Paste these two files there.)

step 4

Copy and paste libbgi.a to the lib folder of your compiler directory. (If you have MinGW installed in C drive of your computer, go through Disk C >> MinGW >> lib. Paste these one files there.)

step 5

Open Code::Blocks. Go to Settings >> Compiler >> Linker settings.

step 6

In that window, click the Add button under the “Link libraries” part, and browse and select the libbgi.a file copied to the lib folder in step 4.

step 7

Go to “Other linker options” on the right part and paste these commands:

step 8

Make sure you got steps 6 and 7 right! Here’s a screenshot of the previous two steps. Then, click Ok.

step 9

If you now try compiling a graphics.h program code in C or C++, you’ll still get error. To solve it, open graphics.h file (pasted in include folder in step 3) with Notepad++. Go to line number 302, and replace that line with this line:

Save the file. Done!

Now you can compile any C or C++ program containing graphics.h header file. If you compile C codes, you’ll still get an error saying: “fatal error: sstream : no such file directory”. For this issue, if your file extension is .c, change it to .cpp.

[If still it is not giving an output then use this link and download ‘libbgi.zip’ file then extract it. you are getting “libbgi.a” file. Copy and paste libbgi.a to the lib folder of your compiler directory.(If you have CodeBlocks installed in C drive of your computer, go through: Disk C >> Program Files >> CodeBlocks >> MinGW >> lib. Paste these one files there.) now your program will work.]

Semester 7 at college came up with a bunch of new and interesting stuff. One of them is the computer graphics lab, where we all got to do simple graphic programming in C.

Soon enough, this turned out to be a bit uneasy.
The reason was that we were forced to work in Windows, since there is no support for graphics.h in the gcc compiler in Ubuntu. To make things worse, the computers had Windows 7, and we had to install a simulator called DOS-box to run the programs properly. All this felt so messy and I just wanted to run back to the comfort of programming in Ubuntu!

Then there was some solution here. Basically, we’ve to install some packages and libraries which enable us to compile graphics.h programs in linux. The original article is a bit old and many packages mentioned are obsolete now. So I’ve written a patched up, more up-to-date version of the same.
Hope this saves you from going back to the bitter blue screen of Turbo C

Step #0
Make sure you have the basic compilers installed.
You need the build-essential package. For this, run the command:  

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Step #1
First we need to install a hand full of packages. You can simply run the following command and get it all done.   

sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev guile-1.8 guile-1.8-dev libsdl1.2debian-all libart-2.0-dev libaudiofile-dev libesd0-dev libdirectfb-dev libdirectfb-extra libfreetype6-dev libxext-dev x11proto-xext-dev libfreetype6 libaa1 libaa1-dev libslang2-dev libasound2 libasound2-dev

Step #2
Now, download libgraph.

Copy the file libgraph-1.0.2.tar.gz to our home folder. Right click on the file and select Extract here.

Open a terminal and run the following commands, one by one. 

Step #3

Now you’re ready to compile your C program!

You have to type in the line #include<graphics.h> , just like you’d do in Windows.

In programs using graphics.h in Turbo C, you’ll be using something like this:

int gd=DETECT,gm;
initgraph(&gd,&gm,»c:\tc\bgi»);

In Ubuntu, you replace the «c:\tc\bgi» part with a NULL

int gd=DETECT,gm;
initgraph(&gd,&gm,NULL);

Finally, while compiling the C file, don’t forget to add a -lgraph parameter. The code will be something like this:

gcc heart.c -o heart -lgraph
./heart

And there you go!
Feel free to use the example code I made: heart.c

Bugs:
Although this implementation helps us to run all graphics.h functions, some predefined constants like SOLID_FILL may not be supported. Anyways, we can use integers instead of such names. This fixes the problem without much effort.

The graphics window can occasionally crash on focus. Rather than a bug in the graphics.h implementation, this is a common bug in gnu/linux graphics which apparently affects many other applications.

Compiling graphics codes on CodeBlocks IDE shows an error: “Cannot find graphics.h”. This is because graphics.h runs is not available in the library folder of CodeBlocks. To successfully compile graphics code on CodeBlocks, setup winBGIm library. 

How to include graphics.h in CodeBlocks ?

Please follow below steps in sequence to include “graphics.h” in CodeBlocks to successfully compile graphics code on Codeblocks. 
Step 1 : To setup “graphics.h” in CodeBlocks, first set up winBGIm graphics library. Download WinBGIm from http://winbgim.codecutter.org/ or use this link. 

UPDATE: The build of the library at http://winbgim.codecutter.org/ is old and was last built around 2006. While linking against that using 64 bit compiler toolchain it results into linking error. Here at https://github.com/ki9gpin/WinBGIm-64 is a recent build of the library bringing 64 bit compatibility. Some win32 system calls have also been updated to MSDN recommended 64 bit alternates for preciseness.

Step 2 : Extract the downloaded file. There will be three files: 

• graphics.h

• winbgim.h

• libbgi.a

Step 3 : Copy and paste graphics.h and winbgim.h files into the include folder of compiler directory. (If you have Code::Blocks installed in C drive of your computer, go through: Disk C >> Program Files >> CodeBlocks >> MinGW >> include. Paste these two files there.) 
 

Step 4 : Copy and paste libbgi.a to the lib folder of compiler directory. 
 

Step 5 : Open Code::Blocks. Go to Settings >> Compiler >> Linker settings. 
 

Step 6 : In that window, click the Add button under the “Link libraries” part, and browse. 
 

Select the libbgi.a file copied to the lib folder in step 4. 

Step 7 : In right part (ie. other linker options) paste commands

-lbgi -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -luuid -loleaut32 -lole32 

Step 8 : Click Ok 
 

Step 9 : Try compiling a graphics.h program in C or C++, still there will be an error. To solve it, open graphics.h file (pasted in include folder in step 3) with Notepad++. Go to line number 302, and replace that line with this line : int left=0, int top=0, int right=INT_MAX, int bottom=INT_MAX, 
 

Step 10 : Save the file. Done ! 

Note : Now, you can compile any C or C++ program containing graphics.h header file. If you compile C codes, you’ll still get an error saying: “fatal error: sstream : no such file directory”. 
 

For this issue, change your file extension to .cpp if it is .c
