Help needed with graphics..

Hi all,

I am trying to develop a simple instrument like the one here - *static.howstuffworks.com/gif/speedometer-1.jpg

How do you go about implementing this in C? I think, you need to have a background image of the dial, then have an image of the needle move with some calibration..

What do you say?

Thanks a lot for the help.

It has to be done using the graphics lib . the calibration has to be done using coding... We made a project for an analog clock and it might be of some help to you.. If you want it... PM me...
