Problem:

I want to use _imagesize(), _getimage(), and _putimage() in the C
graphics library after loading the graphics image from QuickBASIC.

Response:

The C module does not recognize that the screen is in graphics mode if
the video mode is set in the BASIC module. Instead, set the video mode
in a C module using the following steps:

1. Start from the main in BASIC.

2. Call a C function to initialize the video mode.

3. Return to BASIC and load in the graphics image.

4. Call a C function to use functions from the C graphics library.
