How to add high-quality graphics to your Turbo C applications. Introduces the powerful and easy-to-use graphics tools called the Borland Graphics Interface that simplify the work of creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional PC graphics. Shows how to develop applications such as icon editors, painting programs, and CAD. Describes routines such as pixel plotting functions, line drawing commands, polygon plotting routines, and text manipulation routines that work in graphics mode. Also shows how to develop a fractal program that displays computer-generated landscapes.
In a summary, this is one book you will not regret buying. By the last chapter you will be amazed at how good the turbo c compiler was. The only con for this is that if you are lazy or too excited to see the workings of the CAD program there is no disk included for the book and it does have some long listings. They are very well worth typing. The chapter on 3d grahics is very helpful and informative and can be easily converted to other recent programming languages like java.Yes it does cover antiquated BGI graphics but if you are fortunate to have the turbo c compiler this book will show you how to really apply your knowledge. BTW the older borland compilers are a free download from Borland's site.
Good for the moment it was published.

If you are a C developer who want to learn about graphic library, so it's the book. The bad thing is that it's not updated what I think it should and so it's a little arcaic.But it teaches a lot because there are too few books about this theme.
