Borland Graphics Interface

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Borland Graphics Interface, also known as BGI, is a graphics library bundled with several Borland compilers for the DOS operating systems. The library loaded graphic drivers from disk in order to enter graphics mode. It was possible for the programmer to embed the graphic driver into the executable file by linking the graphic driver as object code with the aid of an utility provided by the compiler. There were graphic drivers for common graphic adapters of that time, such as CGA, EGA and VGA.
