InitGraphinitializes the graphpackage. GraphDriverhas two valid values: GraphDriver=0which performs an auto detect and initializes the highest possible mode with the most colors. 1024x768x64K is the highest possible resolution supported by the driver, if you need a higher resolution, you must edit MODES.PPI. If you need another mode, then set GraphDriverto a value different from zero and graphmodeto the mode you wish (VESA modes where 640x480x256 is 101hetc.). PathToDriveris only needed, if you use the BGI fonts from Borland. Free Pascal does not offer BGI fonts like Borland, these must be obtained separately.
Example code:
var gd,gm : integer; PathToDriver : string; begin gd:=detect; { highest possible resolution } gm:=0; { not needed, auto detection } PathToDriver:='C:\PP\BGI'; { path to BGI fonts, drivers aren't needed } InitGraph(gd,gm,PathToDriver); if GraphResult<>grok then halt; ..... { whatever you need } CloseGraph; { restores the old graphics mode } end.
