Turbo C Graphics - bar3d function

---

 

bar3d is the function used to draw a 3D bar. It is similar to bar function but draws an 3D object by accepting two more arguments depth and topflag. It fills the front bar and does not fill the top and right 3d projection. To fill the top and right side projection, we can use floodfill function. floodfill function is used to fill with the color set by setfillstyle. It accepts a point and border color and then it fills with the desired color in all directions until it could see the border color.

 

Look at the following lines in the sample code.

 

      //draw a 3d bar

      setfillstyle(SOLID_FILL, BLUE);

      bar3d(left, top, right, bottom, 35, 1);

      // floodfill with YELLOW color

      setfillstyle(SOLID_FILL, YELLOW);

      floodfill( (left + right) / 2, top - 2, WHITE);

      // floodfill with GREEN color

      setfillstyle(SOLID_FILL, GREEN);

      floodfill( right + 2, cy, WHITE);
