Dear Rishi,
why you want to learn graphics in DOS ? Why not learn graphics
which works cross platform ? standard ..
Here are few options.
Use DevCPP and Learn Open GL
OpenGL is heavy, you can learn GTL http://www.nigels.com/glt/
Other 2D graphics APIs
cairo – a cross platform graphical vectorial draw and text
toolkit.
GTK+ – a cross platform graphical widget toolkit.
Java 2D – a cross platform API for drawing two-dimensional
graphics.
Qt – a cross platform graphical widget toolkit.
wxWidgets – a cross platform graphical widget toolkit.
Asymptote Vector Graphics Language – a script driven, LaTex
compatible, language for high quality sketches, graphs, diagrams,
geometry and typesetting with output in PostScript, PDF, SVG, and 3D
