How do I load a print screen image into a picture indicator?

Hi,
I am trying to load a printscreen image into a picture indicator without first saving it. I am currently doing it by acquiring and saving a print screen image, then reloading and displaying the bitmap file. This works, but it is not elegant and the colors are displayed wrong. (The SnapView.vi is from the G Toolbox for LabVIEW) Thanks for your help.

Hello –
When you push the print screen button in your keyboard, the image is send (temporarily stored) to the clipboard.
You could call the Windows API to recover that image and send it to an indicator in the front panel. This Example Program can show you how to make Windows API calls; I think you might find it useful to get started in programming your application.
Hope this helps.

  • How can i load or put an image into array of pixels?

    i am doing my undergraduate project , i am using java , mainly the project works in image manipulating or it is image relevant , few days ago i stucked in a little problem , my problem is that i want to put an image scanned from scanner into array or anything ( that makes me reach my goal which is go to specific locations in the image to gather the pixel colour on that location ) , for my project that's so critical to complete the job so , now am trying buffered image but i think it will be significant if i find another way to help , even it isn't in java i heared that matlab has such tools & libraries to help
    thanks .....
    looking forward to hearing from you guys
    Note : My project is java based .

    Check out the PixelGrabber class: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/image/PixelGrabber.html
    It's pretty simple to get an array of Color objects - or you could just leave it as an int array - though it can be somewhat slow.
    //img - Your img
    int[] pix=new int[img.getWidth(null)*img.getHeight(null)];
    PixelGrabber grab=new PixelGrabber(img,0,0,img.getWidth(null),img.getHeight(null),pix,0,img.getWidth(null));
    grab.grabPixels();  //Blocks, you could use startGrabbing() for asynchronous stuff
    Color[] colors=new Color[pix.length];
    for(int in1=0;in1<colors.length;in1++){
    colors[in1]=new Color(pix[in1],true);  //Use false to ignore Alpha channel
    }//for
    //Colors now contains a Color object for every pixel in the image//Mind you, I haven't compiled this so there could be errors; but I've used essentially the same code many times with few difficulties.

  • How can I load a CMYK jpeg image

    How can I load a CMYK jpeg image (originally saved from Photoshop) and then
    turn it into an rgb BufferedImage, in order to display it on screen in an
    applet?
    I first tried ImageIO.read(), but that does not work for cmyk jpegs. I then
    looked into the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg package, and tried methods like
    decodeAsBufferedImage() and decodeAsRaster().
    The first one (decodeAsBufferedImage) returned an image, but it seems that
    it was interpreted as an ARGB, and the colors were incorrect.
    I then read the documentation which (amongst many other things) stated that
    "If the user needs better control over conversion, the user must request the
    data as a Raster and handle the conversion of the image data themselves."
    This made sense, so I took to decodeAsRaster(), only to find that I could
    not figure out how to carry out the desired conversion.
    Of course, I have looked into the documentation for BufferedImage, Raster,
    ColorModel, ColorSpace etc, but after a while I was lost. (Before I got lost
    I read that you can convert images with the help of methods like toRGB,
    toCIEXYZ.)
    I have a feeling that this is probably pretty simple if you just know how to
    do it, but I sure would need some directions here.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You can either use the "Place" command from the main menu, under "File", or you can just open it, select the move tool "V", the click in the image and drag it to the other file's tab.

  • How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

    How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

    There is no direct way to print the screen in OS X.
    What you can do -
    Take a screenshot of the screen. Press Command-Shift-3 and a picture of the screen's contents will be taken, then placed as a type .png image file on the Desktop. You can then open that image in Preview by double-clicking the image file, and print it from Preview.
    Other screenshot commands -
    Command-Shift-4 changes the cursor to a crosshair. Drag that to enclose just the part of the screen that you want to capture, and release. The image file created will include only the part of the screen selected.
    Command-Shift-4 followed by pressing the Spacebar will change the cursor to a glyph of a camera. Click this in a specific window, such as a doc window, pulldown or popup menu, etc., and just that window will be included in the screensot.
    Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4 will take their respective screenshots but place the result on the Clipboard rather than generating an image file on the Desktop. This image on the clipboard can then be pasted into a document of your choice.

  • Updated to 7.0 Can't send print-screen image and o...

    after upgraded to 7.0, I can't send the print screen image by Ctrl-V into the message box.
    I can send only text by Ctrl-V now...

    2 issues
    1. ALT + PRT + SCR PTR to capture a screen print and the CTRL + V into the chatbox still works but the receiving party since 1 or 2 days seems to receive blurry images. These images are so blurry that they become unreadable. I understand that i can sent images with file transfer, but when you do this 100 times per day this requires me to first open an image editor, save the image, then click on file transfer, find the image and press send. So this blurry variant that is sent now is really an issue for me.
    2. from time to time, files that are sent simpy do not arrive on the other side. So i can be speaking to the other side but the image randomly simply doesn't arrive. This issue comes and goes and it affects file transfers and pasted images into the chat.

  • How can I make  a "print screen" on my iMac?

    How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

    Hello redlion53,
    It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
    OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
    Take a picture of your entire screen
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
    Take a picture of some of your screen
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
    Take a picture of a specific window
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
    This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
    To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
    Take a picture of a menu
    Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
    To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
    To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
    Additional Information
    In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
    You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
    Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
    To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Outlook doesn't display print screens images sent in my inbox from other people

    Hi,
    I am using a MacBook Air. My professional Outlook never displays print screens images sent from time to time by other colleagues (they all use PC's with Windows OS), i instead have a little blue question mark icon.
    Do i need to download a specific plugin to display those print screens? Could someone help me out with this please?
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Yes, I have added the Page to the Workset, and also the IView to the Page.
    If I set up a temporary workset, And assign the 2 objects to it (the IView and the Page), they appear as links at the top of my Portal. When I click the link assigned to the IView, the Inbox is shown. When I click the link assigned to the Page, it only shows a blank window instead of the Inbox.

  • How to insert a pdf or jpeg image into a blob column of a table

    How to insert a pdf or jpeg image into a blob column of a table

    Hi,
    Try This
    Loading an image into a BLOB column and displaying it via OAS
    The steps are as follows:
    Step 1.
    Create a table to store the blobs:
    create table blobs
    ( id varchar2(255),
    blob_col blob
    Step 2.
    Create a logical directory in the database to the physical file system:
    create or replace directory MY_FILES as 'c:\images';
    Step 3.
    Create a procedure to load the blobs from the file system using the logical
    directory. The gif "aria.gif" must exist in c:\images.
    create or replace procedure insert_img as
    f_lob bfile;
    b_lob blob;
    begin
    insert into blobs values ( 'MyGif', empty_blob() )
    return blob_col into b_lob;
    f_lob := bfilename( 'MY_FILES', 'aria.gif' );
    dbms_lob.fileopen(f_lob, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
    dbms_lob.loadfromfile( b_lob, f_lob, dbms_lob.getlength(f_lob) );
    dbms_lob.fileclose(f_lob);
    commit;
    end;
    Step 4.
    Create a procedure that is called via Oracle Application Server to display the
    image.
    create or replace procedure get_img as
    vblob blob;
    buffer raw(32000);
    buffer_size integer := 32000;
    offset integer := 1;
    length number;
    begin
    owa_util.mime_header('image/gif');
    select blob_col into vblob from blobs where id = 'MyGif';
    length := dbms_lob.getlength(vblob);
    while offset < length loop
    dbms_lob.read(vblob, buffer_size, offset, buffer);
    htp.prn(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(buffer));
    offset := offset + buffer_size;
    end loop;
    exception
    when others then
    htp.p(sqlerrm);
    end;
    Step 5.
    Use the PL/SQL cartridge to call the get_img procedure
    OR
    Create that procedure as a function and invoke it within your PL/SQL code to
    place the images appropriately on your HTML page via the PL/SQL toolkit.
    from a html form
    1. Create an HTML form where the image field will be <input type="file">. You also
    need the file MIME type .
    2. Create a procedure receiving the form parameters. The file field will be a Varchar2
    parameter, because you receive the image path not the image itself.
    3. Insert the image file into table using "Create directory NAME as IMAGE_PATH" and
    then use "Insert into TABLE (consecutive, BLOB_OBJECT, MIME_OBJECT) values (sequence.nextval,
    EMPTY_BLOB(), 'GIF' or 'JPEG') returning BLOB_OBJECT, consecutive into variable_blob,
    variable_consecutive.
    4. Load the file into table using:
    dbms_lob.loadfromfile(variable_blob, variable_file_name, dbms_lob.getlength(variable_file_name));
    dbms_lob.fileclose(variable_file_name);
    commit.

  • How do i convert my scanned jpg images into word

    How do i convert my scanned jpg images into word

    No, Acrobat Pro is expensive
    95% of all the professional scanned in books are in PDF, the entire structure and countless years of work have gone into Acrobat being not just the "best" standard for scanned books, but really the ONLY standard for them.
    Yes, many many little programs can convert to PDF after you have them in a file, or even from Safari you can "print as PDF" or "save as PDF"
    however it just saves them as PDF, and you can use Acrobat READER for free,....
    but Reader is just that, a reader, you cannot do pro editing, scale down the file size etc etc, signatures, portfolios etc.
    Ive got a 42 Terabyte collection of PDF books,.....Ive spent too much time staring at PDF books   LoL.

  • I just upgraded to LR4, how do I get all my LR2 images into LR4?

    I just upgraded to LR4, how do I get all my LR2 images into LR4?

    Images are not "in" Lightroom. Image files are on the hard drive, and the Lightroom edits are in the catalog.
    Lr creates a link between the catalog and the image files on the hard drive.
    So, there is no need to bring images from one version of Lr to the other.
    When you install Lr4 it will find your existing catalog and update it (in fact it updates a copy of the catalog); Lr4 will then "know" where your images are because their location is recorded in the catalog.
    It is the unfortunate choice of the word "import" that creates the impression that images are in Lr like eggs in a basket. Nope!

     You may also drag and drop a picture directly to your front panel. You can also use paint, or some other tools,  to copy a part of a picture and past it into your front panel. This actually works for the block diagram also. Se example 
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
