How can I use a JPEG file as a background image for my vi in 8.5

Im working on a vi that I plan on using as part of an alarm system.  I would like to use a JPEG file of my house as a background image for the vi, or possibly to just be displayed in a window on the control panel.  I have seen people use their own images before, but never looked at what this involved.
Im trying to use the "read JPEG file" vi and the "draw flattened pixmap" vi to accomplish this.  The vi does run, but nothing shows on the front panel.  If I try to create an indicator from the "new picture" output of the "draw flattened pixmap" vi, I get an empty white window on the front panel.
Any advice?
Thanks

the earlier vi (using the JPEG) works fine. just increase the size of the picture control
I figured this was the problem. And to the OP, I'm glad a bitmap worked, but no I didn't mean use any sort of LabVIEW programming at all. I meant open your image in Microsoft Paint, Press ctrl+A to select the whole thing. Then copy the image to the clipboard. Now select your front panel and press ctrl + v to paste it. No programming needed and the image is there. However, if you want to programmatically change it, you will need a picture control.

  • Can you use a swf file like a background image

    The header has a css background image and the spry menu bar
    lays over it. Is it possible to attach a swf file as the background
    image in css or even in html?
    Maybe as a background-attachment somehow? Or simply in the
    html code?
    I am using CS4 but I believe the website was created with
    CS2.

    I don't know anyone, that knows what they are doing, that uses flash for websites anymore
    There are a few holdover gaming sites that still use it, but even those guys are making the move to JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3.  
    @bretC,
    There are far too many people using mobile & tablet devices that don't support Flash (iOS, Android, Blackberry, etc...)  It's not good business to ignore those people.
    In terms of alternative technologies, look at HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations made with Edge Animate.  These are well supported on all modern devices.  Edge Animate is part of the Creative Cloud plan.  Products | Edge Animate | Adobe TV

  • How can I use a JPEG file in MobilePhone Project

    I want to read an image and display it. But the format of that image is JPEG. How can I read it then display it? Thank you!

    Many devices support JPEG images. You can look at the documentation for your device to determine what formats are supported. Where are the images that you want to display located? Bundled with the application? On a server?
    You will use Image.createImage() in either case.
    Image.createImage("/myimage.jpg");Nokia and Sony Ericsson include image handling examples on their development sites.
    Here is some source code that may help you.
    This application downloads and displays images from hostj2me.com
    http://www.hostj2me.com/appdetails.html?id=763
    This application finds images through Yahoo's image search and displays the results on a canvas. Look at the ImageService class.

    The applications are simple examples but should he you get started.

  • How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

    How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

    Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.

  • How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • Cloud storage - how can I use my .png file shared in "public mode" like a hosted file ?

    Hi every body,
    I am french and new on the forum so please be indulgent ! (for my english and my questions).
    I am working on HTML signature for my company and I have a little problem.
    to be viewed, my .png files needs to be on a server. So I remember that adobe gave me a 100giga storage for me to use.
    Cool !
    But the problem is that the link only send me to a special view of my file... a jpeg one. So when I try to copy the url I can only use the .jpg
    I want my file !
    So my question is : is it possible that the cloud storage isn't supposed to share any thing else than a miniature of my file and a download button ?
    How can I use it for my signature if I can't acess it but only download it?
    Thank you very much for your time
    Morgan

    Hi Morgan,
    You are correct.  Public link sharing works as follows:
    -  you can share a public URL to your PNG file on Creative Cloud.  The recipient of the URL can view a preview of the file and download the file in the original PNG format or JPG format.
    -  it is not possible to give other users direct access to the original file in Creative Cloud.
    For more info on sharing and collaboration options:

    That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
    For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

  • How can I use PreloadSWF with files built with -compiler.debug into Flash Player 11.4?

    I'm using Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7 (x64) with a debug Flash Player (version 11.3.300.271 - I'm using the ActiveX plugin for IE). Using Flex SDK 4.5.1.21328A I compiled the ActionScript code
        package MySample {
            import flash.display.Sprite;
            public class MyHook extends Sprite {
                public function MyHook(): void {
                    super();
    Into a `.swf` file by running the command
        mxmlc.exe -compiler.source-path=. -output=MyHook.swf -tools-locale=en -headless-server=true -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries -compiler.debug -- Sample\MyHook.as
    I then preload this by creating an mm.cfg file and adding an PreloadSwf entry referencing MyHook.swf; running all this in Flash Player 11.3.300.271 works fine; I can point my IE to some web page containing flash applets and my own SWF file is preloaded just nicely.
    However, the most recent Flash Player release on Windows (11.4.402.265) breaks this. After updating the player, any flash applet triggers error message boxes from Flash player saying "Verify Error #1014: Couldn't find spark.components.Application". Clicking the error away opens the same message box, but with a few different type names.
    The workaround I found was to remove the -compiler.debug switch from the mxmlc command line; doing so make things work with Flash Player 11.4 but alas trace() doesn't work anymore.
    Does anybody know how PreloadSWF can be used to preload debug SWF files into Flash Player 11.4?
