HELP! LINE-DRAWING Problem!!!

HELP! LINE-DRAWING Problem!!!

Post by Harry Nurmoham » Fri, 18 Feb 1994 22:28:20



 hi,

  As I did some graphic programming on MS-DOS with
  MicroSoft C, I'd like to do so on the UNIX system.

  Is there a function which just draws a line from
  one point to another. And how do I set up a graphics
  mode?

  thanks!

Real Unix systems (ones that cost $$$$) support thousands of different
terminals, a few of which support pixel level graphics and/or line drawing
commands. Chances are you don't have access to any TERMINALS that support
the graphics commands, but almost any Unix will support the tek graphics
standard, and there are PC terminal emulators that will accept these
commands. Try 'man -k plot'.

There are different functions for different graphical terminals and for the
X-windows system.

1. line-drawing chars not displaying properly in Win95 telnet window

I'm using Win95 telnet to talk to my RH 5.1 machine. Applications that
use line-drawing chars don't like this. The chars display as a mess of
accented chars and whatever. I've checked the termtypes all around and
everything lines up. Does anyone know what to do here? Is this commonly
known to not work? Is there a telnet tool that does this properly?
