I am currently using the C++ to implement my code. The idea is I want to read a wav file through a program and then output its waveform on the screen. I have already found some references there:C++ Reading the Data part of a WAV file. and here is my code of reading the audio file. I have no idea of how to generate the waveform .
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
using std::string;
using std::fstream;
typedef struct WAV_HEADER
{
/* for the part of RIEF Chunk Descriptor */
uint8_t RIFF[4]; // RIFF Header Magic header
uint32_t ChunkSize; // RIFF Chunk Size
uint8_t WAVE[4]; // WAVE Header
/* for the part of "fmt" subChunk */
uint8_t fmt[4]; // FMT header
uint32_t Subchunk1Size; // Size of the fmt chunk
uint16_t AudioFormat; // Audio format 1=PCM,6=mulaw,7=alaw, 257=IBM Mu-Law, 258=IBM A-Law, 259=ADPCM
uint16_t NumOfChan; // Number of channels 1=Mono 2=Sterio
uint32_t SamplesPerSec; // Sampling Frequency in Hz
uint32_t bytesPerSec; // bytes per second
uint16_t blockAlign; // 2=16-bit mono, 4=16-bit stereo
uint16_t bitsPerSample; // Number of bits per sample
/* For the part of "data" subChunk */
uint8_t Subchunk2ID[4]; // "data" string
uint32_t Subchunk2Size; // Sampled data length
}wav_hdr;
int getFileSize(FILE* inFile);
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
wav_hdr wavHeader;
int headerSize = sizeof(wav_hdr), filelength = 0;
const char* filePath;

if (argc <= 1)
{

cin.get();

}

cout << "Input wave file name: " << filePath << endl;
}
FILE* wavFile = fopen(filePath, "r");
if (wavFile == nullptr)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Unable to open wave file: %s\n", filePath);
return 1;
}
//Read the header
size_t bytesRead = fread(&wavHeader, 1, headerSize, wavFile);

fclose(wavFile);

// find the file size
int getFileSize(FILE* inFile)

fseek(inFile, 0, SEEK_END);
