SUMMARY
=======

Chapter 11 of the book "Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques," included
with the Microsoft C Compiler version 6.0 discusses creating charts and graphs
in MS-DOS using the C presentation graphics library PGCHART.LIB.

Windows does not include a presentation graphics library as such, but the Windows
graphics functions can be used to draw graphs and charts. PGCHART.LIB is only
for use with MS-DOS-based applications.

Page 570 of Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows" (Second Edition) includes an
example of using the Windows Pie() function to draw a pie chart. Similarly,
other GDI functions, such as Rectangle(), Polygon(), or LineTo(), could be used
to draw charts or graphs.
