C Program To Draw Bar Diagram With Data

by

In this article, you will learn to write a C program to draw bar diagram with data input by user.

This program is written using Turbo C++ compiler installed on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. The compiler supports C language and the header Graphics.h is used to draw the chart.

Problem Definition

In this C example program, you will do following task:

  • Ask user to input data for the bar diagram.
  • Initialize the graph.
  • Choose correct position on the screen to draw the graph.
  • Write the labels for bars.
  • Draw the bars according to data input by user.
  • Close the graph.

For the purpose of this example:

In a university the number of application received in last five years is given below. Write a C program to display the data using bar chart.

YearNumber of Students
201320
2014100
201570
201650
2017120
