Rather it is because people who are just starting to program would enjoy having some interface that was slighlty more sophisticated than printf(.) and scanf(.) without having to jump into working with gui interfaces. extern int cacacreateframe (cacacanvast, int) Add a frame to a canvas. The reason it would be handy to have examples of these things is not because anyone would be writing "serious" software that had an old fashioned terminal interface. I've never seen any simple ncurses examples. Thanks for your help Tags : python,windows,linux,console,ncurses. I think you would have to set up the terminal using the ncurses initialization routines before that had any effect. What other options do I have Unfortunately, using cygwin under Windows is not an option. It appears the ncurses library has a set_color function.

There are X Windows functions one can call from C, but I don't know how to use them to change the color of printing in an xterm.

The possible environments within Fedora appear to be consoles (as produce by CTRL-ALT-F2), terminals (gnome or KDE depending on one's desktop) and xterms, which can be lauched by the command xterm from within another terminal. There was a recent howto about incorporating color in the shell prompt, but I don't know how this extends to terminals.

( I notice there is a conio.h file with the ming compiler used in cygwin, an environment that lets one do Unix like programming under Windows.) h> to include the input/output stream library header into our program, so as to use the IO library function to carry out input/output operations (such as printf. If your assignment said to do this, the course probably assumes you are using some particular environment (not Fedora) to do your programming.

Strictly speaking, the properties of the terminal and printing in color are not part of the C language. But it would be interesting to see some example programs.
