Here's the deal . . . I'm writing a program for a project in school, I want it to build shapes, eventually 3 dimensional shapes from a users input of x sides, x faces etc. Don't try to understand it, it's hard for me to explain, anyway, I planned on using C++ since I know more about it than any other language. Basically I need to know how to use grx or whatever other library is better to draw a horizontal line, vertical line . . . and am getting no help whatsoever from trying to decipher the code. COMMENTS ARE KEY hint hint. Also, since I am used to Borland, I'm having problems with some simple stuff like declaring strings i.e. which string do I use: string.h, cstring.h, strings.h I realize they all probably do different things, but since there are no useful comments . . . Any help would be appreciated. thanks
