Display a color image in front panel.

Hi there,
How do I display a color image in front panel? Which graphic indicator should be used to display a color image? I do not want to use Imaq WindDraw.
Thanks in advance.
Hugh

Try this "draw flatten jpg to pic ctrl.vi"

How to convert U32 value obtained from color control of front panel to float(SGL) for use with IMAQ Draw ?.

I am trying to get user color inputs from front panel and use it in IMAQ Draw. I need to draw an oval of a certain color in a background of another color. Both these color values are user input. The problem is IMAQ Draw requires SGL color value and the color controls of front panel give U32. I have tried conversion VI's which hasn't worked. HELP !!!

Jake,
I think the color control can be wired directly to the input, but I am not positive. I don't know of any color conversions that would help.
Make sure your image is a color image. You can't draw colors on a grayscale image.
You might want to consider using overlays, which appear on top of the image but are not part of the image.

Saving Image of front panel in an application

See attached image.
Using my source code, I can save the image of the front panel with no problem. However, when i build an application and run this, the image of the front panel does not save. Can anyone help?

How do I programmatically display jpeg files on the front panel

Hi,
I would like to be able to programmatically display various jpeg images on the front panel of a VI. I would mostly like to be able to display one image at a time and have the ability to programmatically change the image to different ones under program control. I found a picture indicator but not sure how to use if or if this is the best way. Thanks for any help.
Dave Adams

Yes, you can use a picture indicator.
The attached simple codelet shows how to display a jpeg image on it (Make sure the image indicator is big enough).
Let us know if you need help with the rest of the coding.

Do you actually need to save the front panel image? Or do you want to save a graph of the signal (spectrum) that you acquired? If the latter will do the trick, you can simply read the waveform over GPIB (or whichever means you control the analyzer) into an array that is plotted to a waveform graph in LabVIEW. You then save the image of the waveform graph as an image.
Since you have all the data, you can even save the data which can be viewed later (and not only by LabVIEW).

Loading images on front panel

I am trying to load an image in my vi's front
panel while I am running my vi because I want to
choose the image to display.
I just found out that Labview doesn't have any
function for that, not even the picture menu.
I don't want to paste all the images on the front
panel, because they are big and will decrease my
vi performance.
I've been looking for an active X control to do
it, but I haven't found one yet.
I also tried the picture ring in the control
menu, but my vi size gets really big.
Any one has any suggestions about active X or a
different aproach ????

Use the picture indicator? Put a big picture indicator on the front panel,
with (perhaps transparent) controls and indicators in front of it if that's
what you want, and load your images as needed from JPEG, PNG or BMP files?
Perhaps loading them all at runtime to avoid the delay when displaying an
image. I've never used them for loading picture files, but there's a
comprehensive set of utilities in vi.lib/picture that should do what you
want.

Displaying mutiple pictures onto a front panel

Hi ,
Basically what iam trying to do is have mutiple images on the front panel.
The problem that iam having is that when i load an image onto the front panel it overwrites the other image. What i mean by that is , that instead of having two images on the front , each time i run the code it loads the same image twice onto the front panel.I tryed using a imaq dispose etc but it didnt work. Iam attaching a file that is similiar to the one that iam working on.
(incase i didnt explain it very well on my front panel when i run the vi i what to be able to load up two different images onto the front panel like below but try to load a second image it also replaces image 1.)
image 1
image 2
What actually happening
image 1
Image2
Thanks for help. Iam badly stuck.

Hi jihn,
you connect on both "IMAQ create" vi´s the same name. I think if you change one name it should work.

Displaying a color image

i am using the CCWIMAQViewer to display a .tiff image on a dialog application. I can display the image, but it is black and white. does anyone know how to display it in color?

use the CCWIMAQVision class to create the image, then set the type to RGB, read the image file, and then attach the image object to the image viewer control.
image=m_CWIMAQVisionObj.CreateCWIMAQImage();
image.SetType(IMAQ_IMAGE_RGB);
m_CWIMAQVision1.ReadFile(image, m_strPath + "\\myimage.tif", COleVariant((long)32), vOptional);
m_CWIMAQViewerObj.Attach(image);

Unexpected result when saving image of front panel in EXE

Below code is used to save an image of the front panel of a VI. The front panel shows an XY graph with two plots.
This works perfectly in the development environement. With the EXE, the plots of the graph (only the plots) are invisible.
Have you already encountered this unexpected behaviour ? Many thanks for any advice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

JB,
A few things may be messing you up.
When you build the EXE, the path that is created for the "Current Vi's Path" probably won't be where you want it. I would use "Application Directory" or "Default Data Directory". These path things have messed me up a few times when creating a EXE.
Also is the data on your graph being generated before you are running the section of code in your picture? I assume it is since you state that it is working in the development environment.
What version of LV are you using?

How to add image of Front panel TAGS to html report?

I have a VI with several tabs some of which I would like to append to an HTML report. So far I have managed to include just the front panel front tab (using the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi. Is it possible to create an image of the tabs in order to append to my report?
I'm using LabVIEW 7.1 on windows 2000
Thanks for any help. It would be greately appreciated.
Eduardo

Hello Eduardo,
In order to accomplish this, you'll need to use the Append Control Image to Report VI in a loop. On each iteration of the loop, programmatically change the Tab Control page (with a local variable or the Value property), then append the tab control image to the report. That way you'll have N images in the report, where N is the number of pages in your tab control.
Hope this helps,

Is it possible to display streaming video on a front panel?

I've created a motion-control software interface for a laser-processing station. It would be helpful if, when calibrating the origin of the stages, streaming video could be shown on the front panel from a camera on the setup. Can LabVIEW support this?

what is the format of the streaming video, you can use an activeX control like media player to do this most likely.

How do i display an image onthe front panel...without buffering ? (dsd format...)

Hello all...
i have got to the DS Send Image.vi and i see that i can send an image
and receive it too..but the catch is that the data is in a "dsd"
format. any idea how i could get to this format, or what am i doing
wrong and is it that i dont really need this format?
i see that there are a few Read/Write JPEG file.vi's too but they have
proved of little use to me.
could anybody throw some light on this please...
thank you,
-U

If you are not using buffered datasocket, sending the picture is just like sending any complex data like an array. Have you tried just removing the buffering part of the example?
The dsd (datasocket data file) is an NI datatype and there are no documents on the format for this file type.

How can i display 7 segment dispay on front panel using any kind of input

Hi,
I need help..!! I need to dispay the numeric data in 7 segment format. Is it possible to do in labview?

you need to display the number onto a 7 segment display?
i think you would need sometype of microcontroller board like the AVR or the aurdino. and use the visa usb port to display out into the 7 segment display.
i am new to this too. but that's what i would do.
i hope someone with more expertise can give better advice.
Arduino and 7 Segment LED
7 Segment LED
The
seven segment display is a pretty simple device. Its actually just 7
LEDs (8 really including the decimal point) arranged so different
combinations can be used to make numerical digits. This tutorial will
show you how to wire one up and drive it with an Arduino.

How to display conditional things on the front panel ??

Hello,
What I am trying to do is this: The user will select some information from a combo box, and depending upon twhat he has selected I want to display different things based on his selection.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bira_pxi

You can programmatically change the visibility of any object using property nodes with the "visible?" property.
If the groups of elements are similarly arranged, use a tab indicator (place tab control...change to indicator) and place each group of FP elements on it's own tab. Now hide the tabs and select the active tab programmatically by writing the desired state to the tab indicator.
Another option is the use of subpanels.

Time display on x-axis for front panel instead of data points

What do I need to change or add in my block diagram so that on the waveform graph the time will be on the x-axis instead of the data points. I am running this VI on a pda for some testing and I would rather get the time on the horizontal axis. Im also using an NI USB-6008, windows xp and Labview 8.2
Thanks

And since you are sending it an array of doubles rather than an array of waveforms, there is no timin information associated with it. It will assume 1 sample per second. If your acquisition is faster than that, you will need to set the dT of the graph or the scaling multiplier factor of the X scale of that graph.
(PS, it is always a good programming practice to show the labels for all the terminals on your block diagram and assign the terminal a name.)
