[newbie] simple pixel output

[Guest_imported]

hi!

i'm looking for a function to simply put out a pixel in a regular simple console application, without using the borland library.

example:

drawpixel(R, G, B, x, y);

now i'm a newbie and i don't really want to initialize directx or opengl just to draw a bunch of pixels. so is there a way to draw pixels with a simple function?

thanks! any help appreciated

try SetPixel. Before it just get the DC of console. John Fill

Check for the API SDK function SetPixel()

COLORREF SetPixel(
HDC hdc,
int X,
int Y,
COLORREF crColor);

You will need a handle to the DC, you obtain it with the GetDC API.

HDC GetDC(
HWND hWnd);

Hope this helps,s-)

thank you for your help. i'd like to point out that i'm a huge newbie in graphics programming so i don't know much of the commonly used abbreviations (like "DC", hehe)

if it's not too long, could you post a short program that puts out one pixel at the screen?

example:

#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
//very short program
}

thank you very much.
