Change colors of individual pixels on intensity graph?

I would like to be able to change the color of a set of individual pixels within an intensity graph, to blue for example, while leaving the color table otherwise as is, for example, gray scale. The change to blue would be based on location, not on current gray value. I think I can accomplish this using the mask fx with picture controls, and then convert to intensity graph. Is there a more direct way? A good example to demonstrate this capability would be just using a 'mouse down' event on an intensity graph to change the color at the mouse location. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Sincerely,
Don

Yes, seems to work fine .
If you have LabVIEW 8.0, there is another possibility. There is a new property that allows drawing any pictures or picture elements on your graph area. Of course you could draw individual pixels, but nothing prevents you from e.g. drawing circles, squares, odd shaped areas, arrows or event text. ... Anything you could do with a plain picture indicator. One example that ships with LabVIEW 8.0 is Envelope.vi, see image.

How to change colors of individual column bar in the same data series

in mac numbers, how to change colors of individual column bar in the same data series. The entire column series gets selected in the column bars and cannot select to change colors of specifc bars.

Hi Kiran,
no its not possible through Theme editor also ,because these colors are coming from Compiler which u are using.

Changing colors of individual bars in a XY Graph

I am using an XY Graph (bar style) to display 50 voltages. I have limit settings (low alarm,low warning, high warning, high alarm)that I would like to impose on each of the 50 bars in the XY graph. My problem is that any way I try it the limits are only imposed on the first bar on the graph and all the following bars change colors along with the first bar no matter what value they have. Is it possible to control the properties of individual bars inside an XY Graph ??

The short answer is no. All of the elements in a plot use the same
colors to draw. To get the display you want, you need four plots.
Write a subVI that takes in your array and returns the four that you
need. It will index the elements and generates a value in four othe
r
arrays such that three of them are NaN and the fourth contains your
value depending on the alarm status keeping the same X value with all
four plots. As an example, if the value is lower than the low alarm
limit, the value will be placed in the low array and NaNs in the other
three arrays.
Now wire the four arrays to the graph as a multiplot, you will either
use a build array or a Build Clustered array depending on the XY type.
The plots will overlay, with only one point being non-NaN for each X
location. It will use the color for plot 0, 1, 2, or 3 depending on
which array the value was in.

Setting the color of individual pixels in a bufferedimage

i am trying to set the color of each pixel in a loop as follows:-
BufferedImage bi=new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE-INT_RGB);
for(int j=0;j<h;j++){
for(int i=0;i<w;i++){
pixel=translate(i,j);
clr=findcolor(pixel);
if(clr==-1){
bi.setRGB(i,j,0);
else
bi.setRGB(i,j,clr);
findcolor() function just returns an int, so how do take this integer value and set the appropriate color?
when i execute this code,in the PaintComponent method of a JPanel class, my entire panel becomes black, this is not because of my first "if" condition.i checked the return value of my findcolor function.
However if i multiply the color value by a large number like 10000, then i get a few colors only(black,blue, green)
So please let me know how i can get all colors, without having to multiply the value.

What do the translate and findcolor methods do?

How to change color of a line on a graph

Bonjour à tous,
I want to change the color of line in a graphic, but i dont know how to do.
Thanks for your answer

change the Color Scheme on Chart Attributes page to Custom then put a comma seperated list of colors in the Custom Colors text area of Chart Attributes of your chart. For example, if you have 2 line series in the chart then you could put db15db,DD0000 in Custom Colors text area
DD0000 is actually a color in hexadeccimal number format
FFFFFF stands for white and 000000 stands for black. You also get to pick colors from a color picker in Chart Attributes page

Changing colors of individual records in multi-record block

Can any point me to where I should place the code to programmatically change the color of a record in a multi-record block based on a particular column value?
For instance, if block.col1='OPEN', I'd like the entire row to display as BLUE. If block.col1='CLOSED', I'd like the entire row to display as RED. I've tried placing my code at the block POST_QUERY level and WHEN_NEW_RECORD instance level without success.
I'm a relative forms newbie, so any advice would be appreciated.

I tried putting it in the 'when new record instance' trigger but it did not work completely. I put them same code in the Post_Query trigger of the multiple record block along with the 'When new record instance' trigger and it worked perfectly.
I'm not forms expert, and there's probably a reason why I needed to put it in two places to make it work for me but that's a question of a forms expert.

Scaling intensity graph Z-ramp with panel - how?

In LV7.1.1 is there any way to get the color ramp associated with an intensity graph to scale with changes in the VI panel size?
I've tried telling VI to scale the intensity graph indicator with the panel and that didn't work nor did telling it to scale all front-panel objects with the panel. The ramp always retains its original size.

I think you are stuck.
As for most of the controls, there is no way to change the size programmatically.
The only thing you could do as work around is to create a picture control (which size can be changed...) to mimick the graph scale...

Cannot make vertical axis of intensity graph logarithmic

Has anyone else noticed that that the vertical axis on intensity charts cannot be made logarithmic? Labview gives you the option, but doesn't do anything when you try and check the box. Property nodes don't seem to work either. Tried this in LabVIEW 2011 SP1 and 2013. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a feature that isn't avaiable? I am just wondering if its my install or something that is really an issue.
My application is to plot the power spectrum of sound on a intensity chart to show history of sound recorded by a microphone in real time. Really good to pin point source frequencies of feedback.

Hi Amit,
This is a documented problem with LabVIEW and it is currently being worked on. Here are a couple other Forums that discuss it and offer workarounds for this issue.

Changing color table for intensity graphs

Hi, I've been working on superimposing intensity graphs and I'm almost getting it, I'm just having trouble with color table, it is suppose to be composed of a 1-D array of 256 colors
I have 2 intensity graphs each with a different color table (256 color - 256 locations in the color table array). I need to "squeeze" both color table into a third color table for the superimposing of the 2 intensity graphs. therefore I figure I would take every other color value from each of the first 2 color tables (so each color table shrinks to 128 color) and add the values to form a 3rd color table so that the bottom will correspond to the first color table and the top will correspond to the 2nd color table.
I can do this manually, but it takes WAY too long, so I've been trying to use some kinda of algorism, but I cannot succeed. Anyone have any suggestions? it seems that color table is an unusual kinda of array
My attempted program is attached.
thanks very much!!

Brian,
I think this is what you're after (attached). The easiest thing to do is to decimate, then concatenate your original color tables to form your new "squeezed" color table. However, keep in mind that you also have to squeeze, or remap, your underlying data values to correspond with either one half of the color table or the other.
See if what I did makes sense.

John

Setting color table of intensity graph

Hi!
I set the attribute color table of an intensity graph to a rainbow
distribution of the colors, but now I'm not able to change the color
table with the markers in the front panel.
Do you know a solution?
Thanks, Markus

Intensity graphs have two different modes for its color definition.
The first, typical one, is the Color array. It can be set using
either attributes or interactively and lets you define number/color
pairs that create either a smoothly interpolated or a banded color
gradient. The second mode is the color table. This is useful for
bitmaps or for cases where the color table has been custom generated
on the diagram. When using the color table, the Z scale is still
useful for determining which numbers map to the 0-255 range of the
color table. If you set the
Z scale to autoScale, it will find the
min and max of the data and set the Z to show all data mapped through
the color table. If set smaller, some of the values will map to the
first and last out of range colors. If set larger, it will map the
values to a smaller and smaller number of the colors in the color
table.
It sounds like you really want to be using the color array and not
the color table. The intensity graph automatically switches for
you when you write attributes to it, but there is a way to change
it back the the color array using a popup or attribute.

Intensity graph and its "interpolate color" option

Dear Devs,
using LV2013.02f, my intensity graph never redraws correctly (it remains black), after I uncheck and check the "interpolate color" option in the right-click menu for the z-axis. Is this reproducible for anybody, please?
Note: There are more situations when the intensity graph remains black after changing some options, but I could not reproduce them systematically. Any ideas what to use instead of it to display 2D arrays of values?
Cheers,

Dear users,
dear GerdW
Related issue:
Intensity graph displays a black z-axis color bar
The issue(s) are connected to the positions of the markers on the color bar. I converted the VI to a 2010version (again, wrapped in a 7-Zip archive), I hope that helps for now.
Now, when I multiply my 2D array with a suitable high- and at the same time low-enough value (multiplier=1E+34) -- 1E+33 is too low, 1E+35 is already too high; then the markers of the color bar are visible suddenly. The "interpolate color" and the blackness of the graph can be now manipulated and adjusted.
So now, I have to remember that the default markers' positions are (0,50,100) and there is no way to change them before I extend the values of my array over this region suitably. Seriously, I went through all the right-click on the z-axis menu items and executed them one-by-one. None of those brought the z-axis color bar or the colors back into the graph again.
Q: How should a novice know about it? Isn't there a "reset all markers, distribute them equally and show all values in the default spectrum color" button somewhere, and did I missed it?!
Cheers,

Fade colors of intensity graph

Hi everyone,
I've made a program where I read an 2D-array and plot this array in a intensity graph.
I was wondering if the colors in the graph can fade in each other, preferably in vertical position (columns). The idea is that the numeric data becomes visualized like a DNA profile.
I've added a image of the plotted graph.
Thanks.
Solved!

Without manipulating the array, no it's not possible. I made an idea on the Idea exchange to fix this, I recommend you vote for it. Anti-Alias or Smooth Intensity Plot
Like the idea says, see this post for workarounds.

BCG Brightness Contrast Gamma - Looking for BCG function returning color table / lookup table coded in pure G and applicable to Intensity Graph or Picture Control

Looking for BCG function returning color table / lookup table coded in
pure G and applicable to 8-bit Intensity Graph or Picture Control. Do
not want to use IMAQ Vision is this particular application. Any
help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Don

Take a look at this color model software I put together. (Don't concern yourself much with the basic programming at this point.). The color component generator subVI is borrowed from a LabVIEW example.
First look at test_color2.vi. If you adjust the sliders of the various controls, you will see how it works. You can see that for pure B&W images, brightness, contrast, and gamma (which I think I have coded correctly) are all fairly straightforward to modify.
Now look at test_color3.vi. Here we try to adjust BCG for color images using the color model shown here where current color component clusters are carried into the BCG event cases via shift registers. You can see that once color is introduced into the image, it becomes difficult to mix the colorizing with the BCG model. And this is pretty much where I am right now.
Would be interested in comments / suggestions.
Sincerely,
Don

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array?

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array of numeric indicators?
I want the VI to check a data value and if it is failing, white out a square at a specific index coordinate. I have it working with color boxes, but I'm not sure how to use the property node function, to change the color of individual cells, by coordinates.
I have attached the VI using color boxes. If you run the VI, the box corresponding to the Step control should turn white.
I want to do the same thing, using numeric indicator boxes inside the array.
Thanks for any suggestions...

Get rid of all these sequences! That's just bad form.
Your code has a few logical problems. Why do you create a boolean array if you later only look at the last element (Yes, the FOR loop does nothing useful, except in the last iteration because your outputs are not indexing. All other iterations are useless, you only get the result of the last array element. My guess is that you want to color the index white if at least one of the numbers is out if range. Right?
It is an absolute nightmare to manage all your numeric labels. Just read them from a 2D array. Now you can simply find the index of the matched elements and don't have to spend hours editing case structure conditions.
Attached is a simple example how you would do what I meant (LV7.1). Modify as needed.
