The Graphics.h File Is Used in C Language To Get Basic Graphics Working in C

The graphics.h file is used in C to enable basic graphics. It includes functions like putpixel(), outtextxy(), rectangle(), circle(), line(), gotoxy() and cleardevice() for drawing pixels, text, shapes, and cursor positioning. The graphics library is included using #include<graphics.h>, graphics mode is set up using initgraph(), and the driver is closed with closegraph(). Fonts, colors, fills and delays can be set or adjusted for graphics output.
