getmaxy

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>
int getmaxy(void);

Description

getmaxy returns the maximum (screen-relative) y value for the current graphics driver and mode.

For example, on a CGA in 320*200 mode, getmaxy returns 199. getmaxy is invaluable for centering, determining the boundaries of a region onscreen, and so on.

Return Value

getmaxy returns the maximum y screen coordinate.

  /* read result of initialization */
  errorcode = graphresult();
  if (errorcode != grOk) {    /* an error occurred */
     printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));

     printf("Press any key to halt:");
     getch();
     exit(1);                /* terminate with an error code */
  }

  midx = getmaxx() / 2;
  midy = getmaxy() / 2;

  /* convert max resolution values into strings */
  sprintf(xrange, "X values range from 0..%d", getmaxx());
  sprintf(yrange, "Y values range from 0..%d", getmaxy());

  /* display the information */
