Line drawing algorithm

[chhama]

I'm trying to implement DDA and bresenham's line drawing algorithm. The code is from the book "Computer Graphics" by Donald Hearn and M.Pauline Baker. I am able to run the program using the old Turbo C compiler but I am unable to do so in gcc as there is no device.h files. How can I implement these algorithms, Is there any header file in gcc which can perform the operation of Turbo C's device.h?

There are many graphics libraries.
I think you will be quite happy with SDL, but you will most likely have to install the development package for it, as this is no standard package in most distributions.

Even I m trying to implement this program in linux. The place where i get stuck is the call to initgraph() what to pass in as the 3rd parameter? for windows its "c:\\tc\\venu\\bgi"
.I have never programmed on linux (Ubuntu) before I appreciate any little help. Thanks in advance.

I installed Dosbox in Ubuntu and then used the Turbo C compiler from within Dosbox. Try this method. It will solve your problem.
