It will depend on the terminal used what get's displayed. The fgl_drawbox uses the curses library and thereby the termcap/terminfo definitions for the terminal. That's the way to do things so it works on all terminals. If you do want to do something else you need to look in your terminal manual for the appropriate codes to send to display graphical lines or whatever else you want. The basic stuff the terminal can display you can easily test out by simply desplaying all possible characters. Additionally most terminals have modes set by commands (often ESC-sequenses) that make them display other characters. All this is too much for me. Again, don't do it other than by functions like fgl_drawbox. There may be some other functions in the library at www.iiug.org. If you realy need graphics you better start looking into GUI interfaces.
