Display picture

Hey, I'm kind of a noobie to c++ and I just want to know how do I display a picture in a Win32 Console Application?

The console is for simple text i/o. It is not designed for graphics. If you want to display a picture, you are better off creating an actual window and not using the console.

There are libraries around which make this easier. What kind of program are you trying to make?

The only kind of picture you can display using a console is ascii art.

Is this what you want?

You do not want a console window for this. You want a library.
