Converting Picture to *.bmp file

Hi,
With the excellent pictures/ graphs that LabVIEW is able to produce, I
haven't been able to convert a picture (blue squiggly line datatype!) to a
pixmap or flattened pixmap for the purpose of saving as a JPEG/BMP file.
Can this be done? If so please let me know.

I've come across the same problem you have, and the only (altough not very nice solution) is to write a subvi with the picture as input (and only the picture visable on the front panel!), set the picture draw area to show the entire picture and next use the invoke node "Get panel image" with only visable area set to "False". This creates a flattened pixmap wich you can use as input for the write to *.jpg, *.png or *.bmp vi's.
There is however one catch. The front panel has to be activated (shown) for a brief period of time, since otherwise the picture won't redraw the data. The size of the front panel is however not important, so I briefly open the front panel in a very tiny format somewhere at the bottom of the screen, so the user never notices that the screen was brie
fly active.
I know this method is not very nice, but since there seems to be no other way to convert the picture to flattened data it is (for now) the only solution I can think of.
I hope I've helped you with this information,
Marcel Kalf.

  • Converting pictures into PDF files

    How do I convert pictures into PDF files, is this possible?

    If you want to use acrobat reader, you have to pay for it.
    So, I use other free or cheap apps to do so =>
    * powerpdf
    * dragonprinter (draakprinter in dutch)
    * writepdf
    * scanapp (to convert parts of a picture)
    I even think that almost every scan-app can convert pictures into pdf's.

  • How to converting a flash clip into a bmp file quickly

    Hi,
    I’d like to get help on converting a flash clip into a
    bmp file. I have an application developed with ActiveX technology.
    There is a flash control embedded in the ActiveX control, which has
    a printing button. The end users can press the printing button to
    print the flash picture as well as other text content.
    I get the flash picture for printing in follow steps:
    1.Create a BitmapData object
    var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(w, h, false);
    2.Obtain the image of current flash
    bmp.draw(mc, mc.transform.matrix, new ColorTransform(), 1,
    new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));
    3.Get pixels of flash image one by one in loop, and save them
    into a PixelCollection
    bmp.getPixel(col, row);
    4.Move the PixelCollection into flash container
    fscommand("print", load_PixelCollection);
    5.Ocx control gets the PixelCollection and converts it into
    BMP format
    But I find it is very slow when action script gets pixels one
    by one. Getting pixels of a middle size flash may spend one minute.
    It is hard for our customer to stand. Does anyone have idea to get
    the flash image quickly? 
    Any help is appreciated.

    What about the built-in print methods, wouldn't it be better
    to use those here?
    Getting all pixel values is a time intensive process, because
    of the amount of pixels. It may be a bit faster if you split the
    getPixel() loop over some frames, but I'm not exactly sure how to
    do that (just read it somewhere).
    If the content is fixed, you could create the pixel array in
    the background while the user looks at it. This is quite some
    overhead, but when the user decides to print, the array would
    already be there.
    Finally, not helpful here, but interesting:
    quote:
    BitmapData.getPixels()
    No longer do you have to loop through every pixel in a
    bitmap, one at a time with getPixel to send a bitmap to the server.
    This method returns a ByteArray containing the hexadecimal color
    value of each of the pixels in the specified rectangular region of
    a bitmap. Use this method in conjunction with the new ZLib
    compression method; ByteArray.compress() to compress and send a
    bitmap over the wire to a server so it can be converted into a file
    ready for downloading.

  • Converting multiple bmp files to PDF using acrobat 7.0 from DOS prompt

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to convert multiple BMP files in a folder to one PDF.
    I can use multiple file conversion option in acrobat to combine and convert them to one PDF .. but I have 2000 such folder to conver to PDF.
    PDF should be name after the folder name.
    Is there a to automate this in acrobat.. or can we run this conversion from DOS prompt using commands.. so that I can create a bat file and have them converted. Pls let me know.
    Thanks
    Pugazh

    I have not tried BMP files, but do JPeg, GIF, TIFF, and PNG files regularly. I simply open Acrobat, then select the graphics files in explorer and drag & drop to Acrobat. I then organize the graphics if needed (using the pages tab) and save to a PDF.

  • Creating pie chart diagram in java  and converting into BMP file

    hi all ,
    my req. is to create draw a pie chart diagram and store
    the picture in BMP. it is Possible. if so how ?
    cheers
    senthil

    Hi Senthil,
    This response is a bit late but I hope it can help in some way.  Your requirement (to create draw a pie chart diagram and store the picture in BMP) is possible and actually quite easy if you don't mind using two open source libraries.  In his previous response to this thread, Detlev mentioned JFreeChart for as a solution for charting however he also mentioned that it lacks support for BMP.  Although this is true, you can use the JFreeChart library (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/index.html) in conjunction with an imaging library to meet your requirement.  I have used JFreeChart on multiple projects and I highly recommend it.  For the imaging library you have many options, however the only one I have used is The Java Imaging Utilities (JIU - http://jiu.sourceforge.net/).  Using these two class libraries, you can generate your pie chart and save it to a BMP file with the following block of code:
         try
             JFreeChart chart = this.createChart();
             FileOutputStream streamOut = new FileOutputStream("your/files/path/BMPfile.bmp");
             BufferedImage image = chart.createBufferedImage(600, 300);
             if(image == null)
                  reportError("Chart Image is NULL!!!!!!!!");
                  return(false);
             RGB24Image rgbImage = ImageCreator.convertImageToRGB24Image(image);
             Codec codec = new BMPCodec();
             codec.setImage(rgbImage);
             codec.setOutputStream(streamOut);
             codec.process();
             codec.close();
             streamOut.flush();
             streamOut.close();
        }catch(IOException ioExcept)
             // throw or handle IOException...
             return(false);
        }catch(OperationFailedException opFailedExcept)
             // throw or handle OperationFailedException...
             return(false);
    The first line inside the catch block calls a helper method that should create the actual chart using the JFreeChart library.  Once you have your chart instance (all chart types are represented using the JFreeChart class), you can then retrieve a BufferedImage of the chart (JFreeChart.createBufferedImage(int width, int height);).  In our situation, the BufferedImage class will act as an "intermediate" class, for both libraries (the charting and imaging) can make sense of BufferedImages.  The rest of the code deals with storing the generated chart (the BufferedImage) as a BMP file to disk.  The RGB24Image, Codec, BMPCodec, CodecMode, and OperationFailedException classes are all part of the JIU library.  Also, note that the storage  source is not solely limited to a File on disk; the Codec.setOutputStream(OutputStream os) method will accept any subclass of OutputStream.  This implies that not only can you store to the actual App Server disk (where your app is running) but also to sources such as Knowledge Management (KM) resources or even directly to the clients browser (in the case of an iView). 
    Once again, sorry for the late response and let me know if you have any questions regarding the code above.

  • .bmp files do not show as icons in the event library - I am having to convert them to .jpg  to achieve a display

    Although .bmp files are to some extent supported, I find that on importing them they do not show as icons in the event library. I am having to convernt them to .jpg files to produce this result.   Am I doing something wrongly, or is this the experience of others as well?

    Yes - I've posted one of the files to Dropbox and it appears perfectly in picture form on my IPad.   So it seems there is nothing wrong with the files.  I'm even more puzzled now!  I'll try to upload a smaller (less than 2mb) file here.  The files I am using in the project, which is a kind of family history using stills,  are a complete mix of types - tif, jpg, Canon raw(cr2), psd and bmp.   Some, including, I suspect, many of the .bmps are scans from old prints, as this one.

  • Converting .bin (Binary) File to .bmp ( BMP ) File

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to convert .bin file to .bmp file. The binary file is generated by the video frames and now i want to convert this binary file into the .bmp file. Can anybody help me how to do this and if possible then pls write the sample code.
    -Thanks

    How do you meen generated by the video frames?
    Do you mean that the .bin file is created by an application in the event of a screen shot fo example?
    If so then the big question is in what format did this application save the image data
    Please elaborate.
    Don't bank on the idea of us giving you code,
    we will if possible point you into the right direction and help where required but thats about as far as we prefer to go.

  • Converting bmp file to pdf

    Hi all,
    Please help me to solve this:
    1) convert bmp file to PDF( using FM) .
    2)There can be many such bmp files ..append them to single pdf file after converting them.
    Thanks and Regards,
    KC

    As has been discussed many times here before, you can't really merge PDF files programmatically in ABAP after they have been created.  Your best bet with this 'unique' requirement is to use a form-based approach I think.
    With a smartform one approach is to create a single page with a window with a graphics node (dynamic name) in it, with the bitmap name specified in the form interface.  Unless you have already loaded the bitmaps in the graphics manager (SE78), you would load the bitmaps at runtime from the presentation server or the application server and then create the graphics dynamically using the methods of class CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET prior to calling the form for each bitmap (a topic discussed recently in the ABAP forums or you can view how SE78 does it by checking the code).  Create a merged spool and then use the standard function to convert the OTF data to PDF format.
    A similar approach can be used with Adobe forms, but you would need to load the bitmaps to the web repository, not the graphics manager.
    What exactly is in the bmp files and where are they stored?  Are they form templates?  You may get a better answer with more details.

  • Use edit import picture from file to paste .bmp file into diagram

    i am using labview 5.0.1 on a concurrent power MAX. I have a bunch of .bmp files in a separate unix directory. in labview, i open a new VI, choose edit > import picture from file and choose one of the .bmp files but nothing goes to the clipboard.

    Import picture from file places it in the clipboard. After importing Edit > Paste to put it on the diagram.

  • Convert a jpeg file into a 1-bit bmp file (2 colors image).

    Hi. I�m having serious problems to convert a jpeg file into a 1-bit bmp file (2 colors image).
    First, i,ve tried to get a 1-bit jpeg. But i think this is not possible, so what i have to do is to get a 1-bit bpm file.
    I�m using FileSaver.saveAsBmp(String destination) and what i get is a bmp image, but with 16M colors, but what i want is a 2 colors bmp file. A black and white image.
    Does anybody know how to do this? I�m really getting crazy with ths problem.
    Thanks in advance

  • My goal: "convert into pdf" -- the file is instantly saved with the same name as pdf. feasible?

    Good evening dear experts,
    i use Adobe Acrobat 9 pro extend to convert word, ppt, jepgs etc. into pdfs.
    No if i
    1) convert a ppt into a pdf: it asks --> "save as" --> converts --> opens the file
    2) convert a jpeg into a pdf: it instantly --> opens the file as pdf --> i need to save it manual under "save as"
    In both cases i want to
    my goal: "convert into pdf" --> the file is instantly saved with the same name as pdf
    WITHOUT asking me "save as" + "opening of the file".
    Is the possible, and if yes, HOW ?
    A fast answer is very very much appreciated, for i have to convert hundreds of files tonight in order to get it into 1 pdf
    Thx and greetings from Germany,
    Julia

    We are nearly there!
    A] - righclick "convert-to-method": @Bill: thx again, your approach worked for ppt, doc-files etc.
    2 problems:
    1) exception: for jpegs/bmps it doesn't work (the file is still opened after conversion, strange).
    2) the output-folder. it only accepts the standard "output-folder documents/*.pdf" (which is a step further but not my end-goal). If i choose another output-folder via "browse", this setting is NOT SAVED (even after clicking on "accept" + "ok").
    my goal: the the file should be automatically saved in THE SAME folder the original file is in (seems that can't be achieved and the standard folder is the only thing where to convert in?).
    Personal background for understanding: i have many folders with several ppts in it. Once i send it out to a customer, i always have to convert it into a pdf. thats why i want to save time (i know that i can convert it directly + send per mail, but i want an up-to-date copy of the pdf in the folder as well).
    B] - "the automated solution"- @Sandeep:
    i just watched your link http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-tips-and-tricks/automating-tasks-in-acrobat/
    about batch processing and i think its really helpful if i want to convert ALL of the files in one folder.
    1 question regarding this: are the subfolders also affected?
    As i understood from the video, i choose 1 "watched folder" and a "destination folder" (can be the same). E.g i have 1 big folder "designs" with many subfolders. I create a batch converting ppts to pdf to "the same folder" Once i run my batch, it converts ppts in the chosen folder "designs" + all subfolders into the same folder, right?
    If this is the case, i get too many pdfs, for i only need the latest ppt-version to be converted (copies of old ppts are also in the files) ;(.
    Do you have an idea how can i solve this?
    Now we are very near to the end-solution of my goal:
    i need this option "to the same folder" in my general settings when i convert a file via right-click. ATM it only works with the standard-folder documents/*.pdf
    In A], my files are now instantly saved with the same name in 1 specific folder. I would be completely happy, if this folder would be alwys the same as the one with the original file (and not 1 specific folder)
    2nd problem with a]: it does not apply to picture files (bmp, jpegs..)
    So if we could solve this, i would be a completely happy girl
    Guys, you are great, thx again for the whole struggle with my concerns!!
