How do I create an Array of Images

Hi,
I'm creating a program that basically is a slideshow. It has buttons that allow the user to switch from image to image, and has some audio in the background. I was wondering how I might create an array to store the images. I'm very new to Java, so please no detail is too small. I've just started using arrays, so I'm not sure where I would store the files or how to call the images. Please be descriptive and as dumbed down as possible :)
Thanks for the help!

I like ArrayList
ArrayList<BufferedImage> myPics = new ArrayList();then just dump them in with add(myBufferedImage)
If you'e not using BufferedImages then just change the BufferedImage to Image.
to get, say the 6th image back out, then use:
myBufferedImage = myPics.get(5);the index starts at 0 and should be addressed as 0 to (myPics.length - 1)

How do you create an array without using a shell on the FP?

I want to be able to read the status of front panel controls (value, control box selection, etc.) and save it to a file, as a "configuration" file -- then be able to load it and have all the controls set to the same states as were saved in the file. I was thinking an array would be a way to do this, as I have done that in VB. (Saving it as a text file, then reading lines back into the array when the file is read and point the control(s) values/states to the corresponding array element.
So how do I create an array of X dimensions without using a shell on the front panel? Or can someone suggest a better way to accomplish what I am after? (Datalogging doesn't allow for saving the status by a filename, so I
do not want to go that route.)

Thanks so much m3nth! This definitely looks like what I was wanting... just not really knowing how to get there.
I'm not sure I follow all the icons. Is that an array (top left with 0 constant) in the top example? And if so, that gets back to part of my original question of how to create an array without using a shell on the FP. Do I follow your diagram correctly?
If I seem a tad green... well I am.
I hope you understand the LabVIEW environment and icons are still very new to me.
Also, I had a response from an NI app. engineer about this problem. He sent me a couple of VI's that he threw together approaching this by using Keys. (I still think you are pointing to the best solution.) I assume he wouldn't mind m
e posting his reply and the VI's for the sake of a good, thorough, Roundtable discussion. So here are his comments with VI's attached:
"I was implementing this exact functionality this morning for an application I'm working on. I only have five controls I want to save, but they are all of different data types. I simply wrote a key for each control, and read back that key on initialization. I simply passed in property node values to the save VI at the end, and passed the values out to property nodes at
the beginning. I've attached my initialize and save VI's for you to view. If you have so many controls that this would not be feasible, you may want to look into clustering the controls and saving the cluster as a datalog file.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

How can I create a array with all files from a directory

How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:

How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion?

How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion? In the past, I used disk utilities - restore to create a copy of current hard drive on an external drive. If there was a problem, kids could boot to external and work until internal drive was fixed. This proved to be a great solution. On a new Macbook Pro with Lion, I get an error when I try. It says to do a restore from the recovery disk, but the recovery disk says it is a limited function OSX. I would like a full OSX so they can continue to work and even copy files over if the internal disk is suffering intermittent failures enough not to boot but not enough to keep from copying files. A few years ago one of the kids had a disk/boot failure duing finals but was able to boot from the external hard drive, copy over what he needed and access the internet so that he could finish the exams. Time machine is great, but there are instances where you need a quick fix to keep going until the new hard drive arrives.

I do not run Windows, so I have no idea how to handle that type of situation.
But, just to be clear: disregarding Windows, the recovery option downloads the OS and installs it. Technically, that is not a clone unless you copy the installer and create a bootable OS with it. A clone is an exact copy of your system including all your apps, user settings, files, etc, etc and will exist on an external hard drive in addition to your system on your internal - that is done with CCC or SuperDuper.
And, a GUID partition is created in Disk Utility > click on the drive > choose Partition > choose a layout other than what you now have > there will be a clickable Options button below. Click on that and you can choose GUID. Note: partitioning your drive will erase everything on it.

How do you make an array of image icons and then call them?

How do you create an array of any size(no limits).

how do you create an array of any size(no limits). this array should hold BigInteger values.
BigInteger[] array = new BigInteger[100000000]; //creates new array of BigIntegers array[0] = new BigInteger("6"); //puts "6" in
array[1] = BigInteger.ZERO;
but this type of an array can only hold a limited amount.

Use a java.util.List, e.g., ArrayList or LinkedList.

Please help - I can not create large arrays of images (no more than 108 elements)

Hello,
I am working in an application where i acquire 300 high resolution images (3Mp) and then i process each of those frames.
When i try to put alll those frames in one array of images, the system does not let me more than 108 elements. There is no such message like out of memory or memory error. It is just that when i visualize the array of images, there are good frames the first 108 elements, and then white frames the rest of the elements.
Ideallically i would prefer to process frames as i am acquiring them, but i am concerned about the remaining processing time for the rest of the tasks.
Then, as an alternative, I have tried to store frames in two shorter arrays, and i ended up observing that when the first array (say 50 elements) is full and the second array starts (another 50 elements for example), labview needs a certain time in the the middle (like three seconds between closing first array and starting acquiring on the second array). If i dont wait that time between arrays, both arrays contain the same information. I know, this is weird, and i know about the fact of passing information by reference on imaq images.
The most interesting thing is that when i reduce considerably the resolution of the image (say that now, instead 3Mp they are 2Mp), the maximum number of elements on the arrays are exactly the same: 108, so this makes me wonder if it is a memory constrain. And the code is fairly simple, there is no way that i am cutting the acquisition at the number 108.
So my question is, How can i put 300 frames in one just one array? or How can eliminate the time i have to wait between arrays?
I have heard about memory allocation and so, but i am not sure how to proceed. I have windows 7.
Thanks in advance,
Roberto

It's hard to visualize. Please post the code - or at least a shell representing your code - so we can see what is happening. Are you sure you are getting 108 contiguous pictures, or are some aquisitions being skipped? Is the first picture in the array the first aqcuisition? Is the last picture the last acquisition?
I really don't think it is about memory allocation. I think it could be about your method of acquiring and processing said acquisitions.

How do I create an array of results?

I'd like pass an array with test results to LabVIEW code for csv writing. How can I do it? I'd would also need arrays with limits. Something like this does not exist, correct? How do I create it. Do I use a looping option in the test? I cannot find a numeric value of number of tests in the sequence. How do I query if the current test (in a loop) is numeric?
Thanks

Thanks all for responses.
What I need to do is create a custom csv file. It needs a header, that contains all low and high limits and all parametric results.
Once the testing is finished I need to gather all limits and results (presumably in an array) and pass it on to my LabVIEW code that will peform the actual csv file generation. I do not know how I can iterate through all TestStand tests, check if given test is numeric, an if so extract both limits and the test result and store it in an array. Once done, I will pass it as an argument ot my LabVIEW code.
I understand that I can use TestStand API in LabView, can you point me to some examples? It is not clear to me after studing help files and reading TestStand manuals.
Thanks for help

Is it possible to/how can I create an array of arrays in Labview 6i?

I am trying to create a data structure based on a tree where each limb is an array of arrays and each of those arrays is an array of arrays...etc. My ultimate purpose of this is for multidimensional (infinite) data saving/data recovery.

I suspect it won't work for your intended application, but here is an answer to your question:
You can't create an array of arrays, because that would be the same as increasing the number of dimensions of the array. However, you can store an array in a cluster, then have an array of clusters with arrays in them. So, indirectly it is possible. This gives you the possibility of each array being a different size.

How do you create an array of clusters dynamically

I have created a cluster of 3 elements (string, I32, I32) dynamically then I want to create a 1D array of clusters dynamcally as well, but I am having trouble creating the array of clusters . If anybody has any suggestions please help. I will really appreciate it, Thank You

You are not building your array correctly. What you are doing is taking a single element array of data you just read and replacing it with an empty data set.
Look at the following ways of doing this. The one in the middle is only available in later versions of LV, but is supposed to handle memory more effeciently. But, both the top and middle basically do the same; I preallocate memory for the rows and columns, then replaces the element of the array with the current row and columns data. The output of the loop with have a 2-D array of all the data.
The bottom example does create an empty array before the loop runs and uses the indexing feature of the for loop to build the array for you. All gve you the same result as far as data in your array is concerned.

How Do I Create a Sparse Disk Image?

I'm having trouble creating a sparse disk image. The instructions I'm following are:
+1. Open Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility.+
+2. Select File->New...->Blank Disk Image.+
+3. Name it, set the size to what you'll need, set the encryption to AES-128, and set the format to sparse disk image.+
- http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=257063
The problem for me is I do not see an option for "sparse disk image." The only options I see for Image Format are:
+read only+
compressed
read/write
+DVD/CD master+
Is there something I'm missing?

Nevermind, found it.
Figured out there's a difference between pushing the New Image button in the toolbar vs. going to File > New > Blank Disk Image...
