World has progressed much beyond 16 colors and 640 x 480 resolution graphics that Turbo C/C++ compilers offered under MS-DOS environment. Today we are living in a world of 1024 x 768 resolution offering 16.7 million colors. Graphical menus, icons, colored cursors, bitmaps, wave files and animations are the order of the day. So much so that a 16-color graphics program built using Turbo C working on a poor resolution almost hurts the eye. Moreover, with the whole lot of Windows API functions to support graphics activity there is so much that can be achieved in a graphics program under Windows. I am sure that this chapter will help you understand and appreciate these new capabilities.
