Why don't we design radical new controls with the 3D toolkit?

Hi,
The first time that a saw the open GL toolkit for LabVIEw I thought thats a great new drug. I played around with it but my computer crashed here and than. I could not find the reason why and so I decided to spend more time with it. Some weeks late I found that my graphic card had a problem and that caused the crashes.
My last experiment with the toolkit was a 3D gauge.
While its still not ready it gives a impression what might be possible using this toolkit.
You will find it as a LV 7.1.1 Version in the attachment.
If there are more ppl intersted to develop and design completely new controls than fell free to do so and make the rest of the world envious about the things that are possible using LV. Lets give a chance to everyone using LV to use this new controls.
The first projects could be:
- a better or more complete 3D gauge ;-)
- a cool 3 or more position switch.
- a real advanced thermometer.
- a multi color LED bar.
- a pipe with floating water.
- a cool valve to stop the waterflow.
- a launch button like in a aircraft.
- a animated throttle for ships.
- a gyroscope.
- a artificial horizon.
- or a brand new other thing.
Lets go and give it a chance.
With kind regards
Martin Kunze

I was looking at your code and thinking about the 512 X 512 limit on the image rendered.
The attached Vi show how a larger image can be rendered by using more than one "Draw Scene".

  • Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

    Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

    Using the Open button in ACR to get to PS doesn’t create a PSD or a TIF, it just transfers the image in memory. 
    As has been asked, already, what are the precise steps of your workflow starting with your painting the adjustment brush strokes in ACR and seeing the image in PS without the strokes, and what exact versions of PS and ACR are you using? 
    Use Help / About Photoshop..., and Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera Raw...

  • Why can't I open a new Tab with the "Plus" sign or "Command-T"?

    If I want to open a New Tab, I either press "Command T" or select "New Tab" from the File menu, or click the little "plus" sign in my Tabs bar - - - right? None of them work. What am I missing?

    This problem in is Firefox on your Mac?
    May users have discovered this problem is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
    You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
    You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.

  • Why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel?

    I am currently asking this in Yahoo! Answers as well:
    I just used Boot Camp Assistant around a week ago to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display (and if it also helps find a solution: I'm also using Mountain Lion). At first, certain keyboard functions that can be used in the Mac OS (such as brightness and volume adjustment; oh, + the trackpad functions) that couldn't be used in Windows didn't exactly bother me since I was able to manage without them... until I started to play online games - which is the main reason I had to dual boot my macbook. When I already found it annoying to continuously click control+left click to perform right click, I started to look for solutions, and I noticed that most people online have said, "Oh, simply adjust your settings in the BOOT CAMP CONTROL PANEL. There should be this DIAMOND in your task bar; click on it so that you can apply changes you want. It should be there after you have installed Windows..." ... Well, thing is: in my case, it DOESN'T APPEAR! "Check your control panel," they say. "You will surely find it there." Check for me, if you will, because I seriously have no clue why I can't find it, even after checking using the Search bar...
    Now... why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel? I find it really strange how it doesn't appear in mine when it does in most of other people's... I kinda dislike the idea of reinstalling Windows, because over the week, I've downloaded several drivers and other applications (mostly games). Is there any way I could get it without having to undergo the process of deleting and uninstalling files? I need my Mac OS for school and office work (don't ask) and I need to have my entertaining pastimes using Windows. Please don't hesitate to suggest as many ideas as you can...
    Thank you!

    It appears from your description that you did not download and install the Windows support software. It was one of the first menu items you saw when you started Boot Camp Assistant.
    Run Boot Camp Assistant again and select the menu option to download the Windows support software. Save this download as described then install it from within Windows.

  • Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen?

    Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen like Samsung Note? we really new one from apple design specially students.

    I do not understand?  You can readily use a stylus with an iPad now (I do) and there are many note taking apps that allow free form handwriting and drawing,  (TopNotes, Notebook+, Notes Plus to name just three I am familiar with).  There are also several apps that do handwriting recognition and convert your printed or written words to text (I have WritePad for that, works very well).
    What is that you think is lacking with an iPad now?

  • Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions.

    The option is available in other Apple discussions, but for some reason it's not an option for me in the Leopard area.
    I just want to ask a simple question about why Firefox is now launching every time I restart my computer, but don't want to do so in a discussion about Final Cut or iLife or any of the other forums where posting a new topic is an option because that would be bad etiquette. At the same time, I'm not given much of an option.

    Hi dddnlb!
    "Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions."
    The info posted below is also available in the Announcement How to Post a New Topic
    If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the sixteen divisions.
    For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
    On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Leopard.
    Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
    But some may have only one, two, or three.
    For example, the Safari Category page, has three choices listed under Forum / Category:
    Safari For Windows
    Safari for Mac Support forum
    Safari 4 (Beta).
    And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
    From a Category page, select an appropriate Forum to post in.
    On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
    More info here How Is Discussions Content Organized?.
    Edit: I have requested that a Host, relocate your Topic to a more appropriate Forum.
    As it will be transferred, it is not necessary for you to repost elsewhere, at this time.

  • Why does FF save files to desktop, when I have "downloads" checked in options? This is a new issue with the latest version 3.6.3 Windows XP Thanks.

    Why does FF save files to desktop, when I have "downloads" checked in options? This is a new issue with the latest version 3.6.3 . Using Windows XP Driving me nuttier! Thanks.
    (Is is that MicroNetFrame Asst thing?)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I installed latest version

    Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your help.
    It was just a hunch that MircoNetFrame was causing the problem. I disabled it as you suggested, and I still have the problem.
    I just changed under Tools>Options> General - had checked "ask me every time" under downloads, so instead of asking me, FF saved the download to I know not where. It no longer saves it to the desktop, leaving a duplicate in "my documents".
    In windows, I have found unless one knows the entire name of the document, one can never find anything. It isn't listed under recent ''''''__. I can't recall the nomenclature, but the
    capability is ridiculous. So, I don't know where that file I just downloaded is!
    I downloaded a PDF file, but this happens with all DL's. It was so easy to have them all stacked in one place and I could recall
    what I had and when I downloaded it easily.
    Do you have any other suggestions other that going back to the old version of FF, which I would rather not do?
    Thanks again for your time, it is very considerate to help a complete stranger, I must say. Sounds like something I might do! Cheers!

  • Why don't I have reduce motion option with iOS 7.0.2 upgrade?

    Why don't I have reduce motion option with iOS 7.0.2 upgrade?  It is making me really dizzy and sick to my stomach similar to reading in the car (can't do that either).  I read to go into general settings, accessibility and click reduce motion....I do not have this option at all.  HELP!

    Seconded. Although my main problem w/ that zoom-out-as-app-loads effect is that I suspect it's the source of that annoying delay between app zooming open & UI being active/accepting input. When I switch between apps, after the zoom completes, there's 1-2 seconds where the app accepts no UI input at all. This seemed instantaneous in iOS 6.
    (Oh, off-topic, but the control center is devilishly hard to sweep up. most of the time I accidentally start Safari or Mail.)

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to be able insert my SD card into the Pad and view my photos, not import them.Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
    No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

    You could just disable updates. Change these settings in about:config.
    * app.update.auto - set to false
    * app.update.enabled - set to false
    You can still check for updates with the "Check for Updates" button in the About Firefox window, but it will download the update file anyway if there is an update available. You can also check which is the current release from here:

  • I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to view my photos from my SD card, not import them to the iPad.  Can this be done and how is it done?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit and want to be able to view my photos full screen and not import them.  Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
    I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location.
