Draw image at point in picture control

Is there a VI for drawing an image at a certain point in a picture control?  Something like the "Draw Text at Point" or "Draw Rectangle" VIs but with an image.

An example using Unflatten pixmap... redraw the same image after a 50 pixel shift in x and y :

  • How can I draw dashed lines on a Picture Control?

    I have loaded a *jpg map onto a Picture Control.
    I then load a file of X-Y coordinates that make-up different legs which are connected.
    I need to make these lines dashed. Before I spend time on adding new points in between
    points and then alternate between "Draw line" &
    "Draw point", I wonder if there is an easier
    way of maybe changing the attribute of the
    line with "Draw Multiple Lines" ???

    I have been trying to draw dashed lines too. I have tried drawing a dash and then putting it in a loop. the loop executes after the user has lifted the mouse and then it gets the end point of the line. the problem is that the line appears only after the mouse has been pressed, dragged and released. I was wondering if you have managed to solve your problem. If yes then could you help me with it.

  • Nikon D200 Image Setting and D300 Picture Control

    Does LR recognize and use the in camera shooting settings? How do I setup LR to do this if it does? If not why not?
    At a minimum can a develop preset be created to match them? How would you create it? Has anyone created some or all?
    For now I am using LR2 with the Default Import setting. But have noticed that LR1.x and LR2.0 do not recognize Nikons Monochrome setting in either the D200 or the D300. Each camera has a different Image Control/Shooting system. Has anyone made presets to match these bodies different shooting modes.

    Only white balance.

  • How can I add a 2D image to a 3D picture control?

    Can a 2D image such as data obtained from a .jpg or .png file be added as an object to a 3D scene? Thanks for your time in advance.

    hi Donovan@LSI,
    you can add a .jpg as texture to an 3d object:

     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

  • A problem about saving the picture control'image in a child VI.

    i want to use 'export image' method to get a picture control'image,so ,i have a child VI to use method 'export image',and a main VI to using the child VI,but when i run the main VI,there is no image is saved on the disk ,but if i open the child VI'frontpanel,then,i run the main VI,the image is saved on the disk,i want to know the reason why i can not get the image,when i run the main vi without the child 'frontpanel or blockdiagram is opened.

    The behavior that Simon describes is not a hard and fast rule, and the Export Image method used to be a bit of an exception.  It would supposedly update the controls of unopened FPs that used the method.  Reality never quite matched what was described in the documentation if I recall.
    If you pore over the detailed help you discover that this method works fine in SubVIs with some controls and not others.  Look at the characteristic 'Loads the Front Panel Into Memory', for a Picture control it is 'No', for a Waveform Graph, for instance, it is 'Yes'.  Caveat:  Relying on this level of detail to be correct in the LV help is a bit risky.  Best to try it yourself.  Not loading the FP is a good hint that the method is not going to behave in a SubVI.
    As to the problem at hand, a Picture Indicator is an odd choice to me to use this method.  You have VIs in the Picture palette to convert pictures to image data and then export the image data to a PNG or JPG or BMP file directly.  Anything you would draw and then export could be exported directly without drawing.

  • Set 2d picture control image

    I'm making some palette installers for ease of distribution for some libraries I have written. I'm following the example VIs (search the example finder for "palette API").
    I'm having some frustration in setting the new palette icon; the icon constant is a 2d picture control but I can't find a way to drop my image into it, and I can't set it programatically as the 2d picture control VIs only allow me to draw shapes into it.
    - Cheers, Ed

    In cases like this I often resort to using a transparent classic path as an overlay to catch dropped files.  If you do not plan on interacting with the picture control, it is quite easy.  Otherwise it is just a few more events to control visibility when the mouse enters the VI with the button pressed.
    Just run the VI and drag PNG, JPG, or BMP files to the picture control.

  • I want to know how to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control

    I have to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control. Just like we can do that in word or paint etc. I need to do the same using the mouse and drag the line/arrow till I realease the mouse. I am able to this for a normal line ( it works perfectly) but when I have to draw an arrow or a line I am stumped.

    Unfortunately, you have to code your own VIs to do these. It's not going to be too complicated if you manage the animation (while dragging the mouse) with a normal line and draw the dashed line/arrow at the end (when releasing the mouse button).
    In both cases, you'll know start/end line coordinates, thus having the line equation. For arrows, you need to calculate the angle in order to draw it properly.
    A simpler solution may be an activeX control with these features (Paint like) already integrated or to develop one in Visual Basic (at least it will be simpler to manage mouse events and drawing tasks).
    Let's hope somebody already did it and wants to share.

  • How do I get picture control to display PNG images with transparent background?

    I have an image of a robot arm looking from the top with a transparent background and saved as PNG. When I drag the image directly to LabVIEW front panel, the image shows properly with the transparent background, but I want to manipulate it such as rotate the image. I used the Read from PNG.vi to read the image to a picture control, but the background isn't transparent anymore. Am I missing something?
    Please help.

    unclebump gets 5 stars for referring you to a document that I wrote. 
    Incidentally, I wrote it years back, for LabVIEW 7.0.  A couple of notes to summarize:
    The picture control doesn't "really" support transparency.  However, the image data type supports masking, and stores the alpha channel, if present in your image data.  So you use the "Create Mask By Alpha.vi" referenced in that document to mask out pixels whose transparency is above a certain level.  It does not support partial transparency.  You could try to implement your own blending algorithm based on the picture control's current pixel values, and the image data's RGB value and transparency value, but it would probably be very slow.
    Also, that VI ships with 8.0 and later.  I don't know if it's on the palettes but it lives here:  vi.lib\picture\picture.llb\Create Mask By Alpha.vi
    Good luck!

  • Load picture control with png image from the web

    Hi guys,
    Is there an example anywhere for Labview 8.6 for loading a picture control with png image from the web?

    Hi lavalava,
    here you find a note on how to load pictures from the internet. After grabbing the data you could save them to a file, load the file with the picture file functions and then convert it into the image datatype to feed a picture indicator with the data...

  • Picture control: stick image to corner

    In a Picture Control, with the option "Stick image to corner" the image is sticked to the upper-left corner of the control.
    Is there a way to select the corner to which the image is sticked (upper-left, bottom-left, upper-right, bottom-right)?
    I've been thinking to this properties because I have some picture controls used as a background images, and I need the background isn't moved when I drag a splitter (see attachment)

    Probably it would have been better if I had posted an uir file that shows the "real" situation of the project I've been working on.
    As a matter of fact my application has a vertical splitter and two horizontal splitters:
    I'd already tried several workarounds but I didn't find a solution for the bottom-right background image.
    In the first post I attached a simple panel, but in this one I attached an uir that shows the issue of my application.
    Is there any workaround for the bottom-right image?

  • Picture Control - Drawing radius border on an arc doesn't align

    I am trying to draw a bunch of filled arcs (pie slices) in a circle or ellipse and then draw the borders (radius) between the arcs.
    No matter how I fiddle with the integers and math I can't get the line to consistently follow the edge of the filled arc.
    Does anyone know the algorithm used to draw the filled arc in a picture control?  Specifically, I would like to determine the coordinates of the three "corners."
    Thanks!

    pie.vi ‏12 KB

    I think if Left is 5 and Right is 505, there should be a center pixel, unless (5,505) is not inclusive of both edges.  Regardless, the arc algorithm has to account for an even number of pixels so I should be able to do the same thing if I know how it's done.
    Strangley, even the series of filled arcs and the circle drawn within the same rectangle don't line up.  You can see this by observing red and green pixels outside of the blue circle.  It turns out that even drawing the filled arcs and then overwriting with unfilled arcs yields different outer circles - the filled arc bleeds outside the unfilled arc.
    It looks like the filled arc function is messy and not useful in this case.  That's a bummer because filling in the arcs might prove complex and time consuming compared with using the built-in opcode.

  • FP.Get Image not working on a subVI if it has a picture control

    Download the attached (7.0).
    Open and save BOTH VIs in your own version. This is important, because it looks like if the VI is recompiled its FP is loaded into memory and the bug is not apparent.
    Run the VI. The indicators in the subVI are not updated the first time you run the VI.
    This happens in 8.6 as well and requires the subVI to have a picture control and to have its FP closed.
    One workaround is to use the first call? primitive and call the Open FP method (with the state set to hidden) when the VI starts running.
    Try to take over the world!

  • Picture Control to Waveform Graph

    Hello everyone,
    I'm utilizing the Draw Text at Point VI to display the string "eo" on the picture control.  To put the fear of intense imagining behind, I bring up the question, is there any way to convert the Picture Control, and it's contents, to Waveform graphs?  I could have sworn I worked with intensity graphs and did conversions in this fashion but for the life of me I cannot remember how it was done.
    If not, is there any simple way to bring up actual text in a waveform graph for laser imaging to follow?
    Thanks for any help...
    Regards

    Hi Steve,
    I had a colleague transfer an image into a Waveform Graph.  What came out was not at all the original picture.  The IMAQ driver was used.  I don't know of a method like what you have described.
