I can't append control image to report on 1 page with appended text report

I am attempting to create a report which is simply header, experiment information, and two graphs of data. I am using a Easy Text Report and Append Control Image to Report. I have successfully printed out this report, but on two separate pages. The header info is on the first page, and the graphs on the second page. This doesn't seem to be a margins problem, as the header is very brief and the graphs aren't that large either. I would like to make this into a one page report. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nevermind. I neglected to see the Append Report Text.vi. That solved everything.

Append Control Image to Report stops Source Distribution from working

I have a top level built executeable that calls various external vi's using the "Call by Reference Node" function. This seems to work ok, to a point. An additional point here is this is code that I had running well in LV8.2 and am now trying to get running in LV2010 as there have been some significant changes in LV that have impacted on this project and this has forced me to change things.
The external vi that is called is stored in a "Source Distribution" directory structure, which has been generated via its own project specifications. An examination of the directories and vi's stored at the destination looks like everything should be there.
When it comes to running the vi in the source distribution directory (from the top level built executeable) I get the following error message "Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in Run HTML Report Generation VI LV10.vi->Generate Reports.vi", with the additional suggestion " The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located. Select File>>Open to open the VI and then verify that you are able to run it.". So it looks like there is something missing in the "Source Distribution" directories.
Doing as suggested, opening the vi in the "Source Distribution" with the development environment, shows that it has no broken arrow. My suspicion is the development environment is supplying whatever it is missing.
Using the built top level application, using trial and error and using the diagram disable structure, I have narrowed down the location of the problem to an "Append Control Image to Report" sub vi (its from the NI Report menus). Disabling this vi at the level it is called, allows the "Source Distribution" vi to run.  "Append Control Image to Report" is part of a class structure and I must say I have not used class structures so my understanding of their implications is very limited.
If I instead dive into "Append Control Image to Report" vi and disable the vast majority of its diagram (everything in the "No Error" case), the original error pops up again. Bit strange considering there are only controls and indicators and a case statement left.
I would appreciate any suggestions, as this has got me stumped. Hopefully I have made myself clear enough as it is all a bit complicated. Let me know if I haven't. Thanks.

    Hi Caleb,
      "When the VI displays the broken arrow and displays that error in the dialog, does it take you to a particular diagram component? Does the diagram have any broken arrows or something?"...      it doesn't take me to a particular diagram. Is this possible in the RTE? If it is how do I enable it?
   I can follow the chain of broken arrows (front panel only) down to my vi that calls the NIreport vi that is causing the problem. However I am unable to open the NIreport vi's in the RTE, so cannot chase this any further down the call chain.
I have tried opening the offending top level vi (on a network drive) and it opens ok. When I close it, it wants to save some changes which i think might point at where the problem is. The attached file shows the screen shots of the "Explain Changes" window. Hopefully they mean something to you.
       Cheers

Bug in Append Control Image to Report in 8.5?

I am now at an end with this. I seem to have some sort of problem when using the Append Control Image to Report. I have a program that creates two reports. One is a condensed version, the other detailed. Both reports contain JPG images of some front panel displays. For the most part it seems to work except what ever it is doing appears very unstable. The problem seems to center around me trying to include a Multicoulmn Listbox. I create a Reference of it and then run that to my Append Control Image, just like any other image I want to include. If I probe the Reference, it appears to be correct, i.e. the name, etc. all seem right. However, what the image that gets included is a whole different graphic. Some times I will get the listbox, other times nothing at all. If I look in the directory and bring up the images, indeed, if it prints the wrong graphics, it also has created two of the ne that it includes.
Running the same program unmodifed seems to do the same thing, i.e. it always will print the wrong graphic. As I have tried different things to try and skirt the problem, I get different effects.
I have seen the same problem with other graphics as well, not just the listbox, but I can't come up with any hint as to why it does what it does.

I have dug into this a little further and it appears this bug has to do with creating two reports at the same time. If I only generate a single report, everything works flawless.
I placed the sections of the code that append data to the reports into a sequence so they would not happen at the same time. This seemed to have some effect, but the reports were still incorrect.
Is LabView just not able to create two reports within a single progeam?
I can work around this by creating just the detailed report for now, but it would sure be nice if there were a way to make it work.

Cluster not saved correctly in Append Control Image to Report VI

[LV8 with Windows XP]
I'm using the Append Control Image to Report VI to save the image of a control to Word (the same problem occurs if I save to Excel). This VI seems to work fine with all my controls except clusters. Not all of the contents of the cluster show up in the saved image. I have to expand the edges of the cluster way beyond the cluster contents in order for all the contents to show up in the saved image. Is this a bug? Is there a way to "realign" the contents of the cluster within the boundaries?
George

Hi,
just had a customer with the problem with this cluster picture function and I wrote a little VI that manually gets the picture, resizes it to the cluster and the rest is up to you. The only thing is, that you have to place the "zero point" of the frontpanel in the upper left corner to get the proper image.
For Users who want to upgrade: This issue is fixed with the next LabVIEW release.

Andreas Pistek

Append control image requires vi to be open

Having a curious problem with the append control image vi in the report toolkit.
I'm using LV8.6 with the current report toolkit .
I have an application that merges the information from 4 sections into one html report.
Using the append control image vi I add images to the report in two subvi.
When the subvi are open on the desktop everything works fine.
As soon as I minimise them to the toolbar or open them up so the image I am grabbing is not fully visible, I either miss the image entirely or only capture a portion of the image.
Am I doing this wrong?
Is there a workaround or better method to achieve this ?
I am trying to avoid using word or excell as these products may not be available on the target machine.
henry

Hi Henry,
From what you are saying it sound very similar to KnowledgeBase 339HAFUW Append Control Image to Report Does Not Update the Correct Value of my Hidden....
I made a subVI that writes to an indicator and then in the main VI I use that indictor’s reference as the input to the Append Image VI. I write to an HTML report and the image appears fine for me. During this time I never the subVI opened. However, if I open the subVI and then minimize it I notice that blanks images are outputted to the HTML file.
I will be investigating this behaviour a some more.
I have attached my VI for reference.

How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg?

How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg? The image has both a photo and various text boxes. I would like to use it in one of the Photocard websites but they only accept jpeg. Any easy solutions please.

Hold command shift 4 and draw a box around what you want and then click again, on your desktop a .png file will appear.
To convert it to jpeg, open it in Preview and Save as.
if you want all your screenshots to be jpg, download the free Tinkertool and make the change.

Print report and append control image to report.vi problem

why print report.vi and control image to report.vi can't executable in xp service pack 3??
before that, i use xp service pack 1. these sub vi can use successful. but after i transfer all ni file into xp service pack 3, that sub vi can't executable..why it happen???
please, help me...

When you said that you used your VIs in service pack 1 and then transferred to Service pack 3, are you referring to 2 different computers or you simply updated the computer with SP1 to SP3?
If you are using 2 different computers, were all the software and the toolkit also installed in the pc with SP3? I am using XP with SP3 and I am not having any problems with the print vi.
If you have more information, like if you get an error message, kindly post it here as well.
Best regards,

How Can I Move the Image in the Workspace to Align with 0 on the Ruler (CS5)?

I am completely new to Photoshop (CS5) so I don't know all the correct terms to explain my problem but I'll try. I'm working on a computer with Windows 7.
I open a RAW image and edit it to my satisfaction, and then I "Open Image" in CS5 to do a little more with it, mainly crop it. I have adjusted the rulers so zero is near the upper left corner. I want the image's upper left corner to snap to the 0/0 ruler point on the screen. I can't get the image to move at all. I've tried Move, Hand. Select and Move, Snap To Guides, and everything else I can think of. The reason I want to do this is so I can see the image when I have an Image Adjustment window open (Sharpen, Levels, etc.) -- all those "working" windows cover up the image and/or my panel on the right side of the screen. An odd thing is that the horizontal ruler goes clear over to the right side of my screen, above the panel, and this places my image smack in the center of the screen instead of the center of the workspace (the screen minus the panel and the list of Tools).
Any suggestions would really be appreciated! This is a very frustrating problem!

Sounds like what you want is Window > Arrange > Float in Window. This puts the image into a seperate, normal window, rather than the tabbed interface that Adobe has foisted on us (Float in Window used to be the default).
When viewed as normal windows, if you ALT + CTRL + plus or ALT + CTRL + minus, it will zoom in and out, expanding and contracting the window to fit.
For the Toolbar, if you drag it to the left of your screen, you can dock it to the left edge. When the toolbar is docked, other windows won't open underneath it.
Another handy shortcut when you find all your panels distracting is the H key, to show/hide the "Extras". Be sure to set it back to "Show" when you're done; it's all too easy to be wondering, "Why isn't my paintbrush working?", only to realize you have and active selection hidden.

Can I change header image on one or more pages of a template site?

Hi all,
I have a site I created in D.W CS3. I'm kicking around the idea of adding an affiliate store. I think I might be better served if the store has a different header image than the main site. I can either create a whole new site for the store, or what I'd rather do for now is just make a new page from the main template, and change the header image just for that page to see how it goes. Does anyone know the code I could use to have a page from template override the CSS and use a new header image just for that one page?
The URL is http://isuckatgolf.net if that is needed.
Thanks!
ken

Take images out of the HTML and put them in the background of your #header div with CSS.
#header {
background: url(header1.jpg) no-repeat
width: xxxpx; /**same width as image**/
min-height: xxxpx; /**same height as image**/
Use embedded CSS on child pages requiring a different background.
<style type="text/css">
#header {
background: url(header2.jpg) no-repeat;
</style>

Can you tell an image not to move despite page scrolling?

Can I place an image (either in a div or not) that will
remain where I
placed it despite page scrolling? Say I want it at 0,0 but
the page scrolls
up and I want it to remain in that top left corner like a
fixed background.
Except it has to be without using a body background (that's
already in use).

Thanks Mick, but for some reason this fills the area around
the image with
white up until the end of the viewport. You can scroll the
white off,
however -- and the image remains fixed -- so it looks fine
once you scroll a
whole screenful down. But that initialy screen doesn't show
the background
underneath -- it shows white; on both IE7 and FF2. :(
