closegraph

Shuts down the graphics system.

Defined in header <graphics.h>

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>
void far closegraph(void);

Portability

Remarks

closegraph deallocates all memory allocated by the graphics system, then restores the screen to the mode it was in before you called inltgraph. (The graphics system deallocates memory, such as the drivers, fonts, and an internal buffer, through a call to _graphfreemem.)

Return value

None.

Example

#include <graphics.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(void)

   /* request autodetection  */
   int gdriver = DETECT, gmode,  errorcode, x, y;
   /* initialize graphics mode  */
   initgraph (Sgdriver,-.&gmode, "");

   /* read result of initialization  */
   errorcode = graphresult ();
   if (errorcode  != grOk) {   /* an error occurred */
      printfl"Graphics error:  ls\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode)
   printf ("Press any key to halt:");
   getchO  ;
   exit(l);                /* terminate with an error code */
}
X = getmaxx () / 2;
y = getmaxyO   / 2;

/* output a message  */
settextjustify (CENTER_TEXT, CENTER_TEXT);
outtextxy(x, y,  "Press a key to close the graphics system:");

getchO;    /* wait  for a key */
/* closes down the graphics  system */
closegraph {);
printf ("We're now back in text mode.\n");
printf ("Press any key to halt:");
getchO ;
return 0;
