printing integers in graphics mode

im unsing turbo c compiler under graphics mode....
is there any way to print intergers at desired coordiates, in graphics mode, except of this, converting int to string using itoa() function (Interger to ASCII) and then print it using gototextxy(), which take some extra memory as it need one int and one string and some extra lines of code.....

Look at the cprintf() and gotoxy() functions.

cprintf doesn't work under BGI mode.....i want to print interger under BGI mode as we normally do in default mode e.g. i=10; some_function(x,y,i);

It's been years since I have dinked with BGI, and I have no way to test anything that you might come up with, but here's something that comes to mind:

Make your own version of printf() (maybe call it bgiprintf(), or gprintf(), or something). Lets call it gprintf().

gprintf() calls sprintf() to cause your output to go to a string (a locally allocated array of char). Then use outtext() to put the string to the screen. If you haven't used vararg before, read up on it. Some pre-ansi compilers may not support variable number of arguments, but Turbo C that I used "way back when" did.

Regards,

Dave

Yep, you're right. I was thinking of text-graphics. This code outputs in BGI mode:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

void DisplayTotals()
{
    char numbuf[6];
    
    setcolor(YELLOW);
    settextstyle(SMALL_FONT, HORIZ_DIR, TextSize+1);
    sprintf(numbuf, "%3d", TotBomb);
    outtextxy(initpoly[0]-TotLocn, initpoly[1], numbuf);
    
    if (DspError)
    {
        sprintf(numbuf, "%3d", TotError);
        outtextxy(initpoly[0]-TotLocn, initpoly[1]+20, numbuf);
    }
}

So it's outtextxy()
