The Microsoft run-time library contains more than one hundred graphics routines. The core of this library consists of several dozen low-level graphics routines that allow your programs to select video modes, set points, draw lines, change colors, and draw shapes such as rectangles and ellipses. You can display real-valued data, such as floating-point values, within windows of different sizes by using various coordinate systems.
The graphics library includes presentation graphics and fonts. The presentation-graphics library provides powerful tools for adding presentation-quality graphics to your programs. These routines can display data as a variety of graphs, including pie charts, bar and column charts, line graphs, and scatter diagrams.
The fonts library allows your programs to display various styles and sizes of text in graphics images or charts. You can use font-manipulation routines with any graphics routines that display text, including presentation graphics.
