ansi C是否支持Windows图形？

Question

I want to make a Windows application in ansi C but I am having trouble with the graphic usage. Is ansi C able to handle the graphics of Windows without using any extra libraries? Guide line required.

Answer 1

ANSI (or more modernly ISO) C is the language standard . It doesn't deal with graphics, at all .

However, you sure can write graphical applications with C (the language). On Windows you have the Win32 API, and there are also cross-platform libraries like GTK, which you can use to create graphical applications on Windows (as well as on other OSes).

Answer 2

The original Windows API was written to be accessed via C, that was the main language for developing Windows apps back in the day. I can't immediately see why you couldn't use ANSI C to write graphical Windows programs.

I was worried about GDI+ (I've never used it from C), so looked it up . It says it's a class-based API "...for C/C++ programmers." Taken literally, that would mean you can use C to access it (otherwise it's for C++ programmers, but not C programmers), but you'd want to look closely to be sure they're not just being loose with their language there.

Answer 3

To clarify the two answers above mine. One could in principle find a strictly ANSI C graphics library for Windows. But if the goal is to have graphics portability cross-platform, that would require the library to be available on the platforms which are under consideration. If, on the the other hand, the goal is to do something with the ANSI standard library graphicswise, nothing like that exists as it is way too unportable (and would have likely been even more so when the first ANSI standard was published).
