Hah hah, Tandy got you (us) again!  The docs for the C
Graphics Libe are in the MultiVue manual!  If you don't want
MultiVue or have a friend with it and a Xerox machine,
that will be $50 for the docs.  I got both when they came
out so I'm not as PO'ed as some people might be.

The C libe routines are just very short code pieces to
take your arguments and spit them out to the Windows after
prefixing an ESCape ($1B) and control code.  You could easily
write your own set, but presumably Tandy's are shorter and faster,
written in assembler.

BTW, the MultiVue manual also documents some very handy C
system call routines, but these are not in the cgfx,lib nor
anywhere else that I can find.  These all have names of
form _ss_xxx, where the x's are the name.
Anyone know where these are hiding?

For a math library, either CIS or DElphi has Carl Kreider's
replacement clib.l and tlib.l, where 't' means Transendental
math fcns.  Good docs online, too.  Free for price of download
connect time.  His ordinary C libe is better than the
official one too.
