 getgraphmode()          Get the Current Graphics Mode

 #include   <graphics.h>

 int far    getgraphmode(void);

    getgraphmode() returns the current graphics mode set by a previously
    successful call to initgraph() or setgraphmode(). With the current
    graphics mode stored in a temporary variable, the system can be set
    to various graphics modes supported by the driver, or to text mode,
    and then restored via setgraphmode().

    The following table lists the pre-defined graphics modes:

    The following statements save the current graphics mode before
    changing it to something else and restore it before the program
    terminates.

           #include <graphics.h>

           int gdriver = DETECT;
           int gmode;

           main()
           {
               int savemode;

               initgraph(&gdriver,&gmode,"");
               savemode = getgraphmode();
               .
               .
           /* change to other graphics or text mode*/
               .
               .
               setgraphmode(savemode);
               closegraph();
           }
