Hi,
1> I am using Red hat EL.4. I want to display any BMP image (using C) at stdout. I have already used fread(). fwrite() and able to copy a image but yet to print at stdout.
when I am using the function 'fwrite(&file_structure,sizeof(file_structure),1,s tdout)' its giving me the corresponding characters at stdout.

2> I also want to know, how to use the graphics mode under linux using C. Is there any header file and function like windows '#include<graphics.h>' and 'initgraph()'


please help me.....

1) see as stdout is text, and its outputting characters, i say its working perfectly. What exactly where you trying to do, actually display the image?

2) Nope, well, there is the framebuffer, but really, there is little reason to use it, unless of course you need display graphics as a command line only program. You should look up graphical libraries. There are quite a few, the choice will mostly depend upon what type of graphics you are trying to display.

3) As a side note, if you where actually trying to display the image on the screen in question 1, then you need a graphical output to do that, not text based. A graphics library is the best way to go about it, as already mentioned.
