Introduction

This C++ graphics program is designed to illustrate fundamental drawing algorithms such as DDA line drawing, Bresenham line drawing, and circle drawing. The program creates a simple scene featuring a house and a sun.

Features

• Implements DDA and Bresenham line drawing algorithms.
• Demonstrates circle drawing algorithms, including Midpoint and Bresenham.
• Draws a basic scene with a house and a sun.

Prerequisites

Before running this program, ensure you have the following installed:

• CLion or any other C++ IDE.
• A compatible C++ compiler (e.g., MinGW) with support for the graphics.h library.
• The libbgi.a library file. Note: Both graphics.h and libbgi.a are included in the "Cpp-Graphics-Algorithms/Graphics"

How to Run

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
2. Open the project in CLion.
3. Build and run the project.

Adding External Header and Library in CLion

To add the graphics.h header in CLion, follow these steps:

1. Copy graphics.h to path\to\CLion\bin\mingw\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\13.1.0\include and path\to\CLion\bin\mingw\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\13.1.0\include\c++
2. Restart Clion.

To add the libbgi.a library to your project in CLion, follow these steps:

1. Copy libbgi.a to path\to\CLion\bin\mingw\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\13.1.0
2. Open your CMakeLists.txt file.
3. Use the target_link_libraries() function to link the library to your executable target.

   target_link_libraries(YourProjextName "\path\to\CLion\bin\mingw\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\13.1.0\include\libbgi.a")

   Replace YourProjextName with the name of your Clion Project and \path\to\ with the actual path to the Clion.
4. Save the changes and reload the CMake project in CLion.
