Image resolution report generation

Hello,
I am using the vis on the report generation palette in labview 7.1 to
produce an html report that includes images from intensity graphs on
the front panel.
I create a control reference to the intensity graph and then wire the
control reference to "append control image to report.vi" with the image
type set to jpg. The report contains a low resolution (appears to be 8
bit) image. Is there a way to have 24 bits true color images included
in the report instead.
Thank you
Jean-Michel Maarek

Hi Jean-Michel,
You can open the Append Control Image to Report.vi and go to the "HTML" case of the case structure and change the constant value wired to the "Image Depth" parameter of the Get Image method from '8' to '24'.  I plan on adding this as an input to the VI in a future LabVIEW version.

  • Report Generation & image

    Hello,
    I have been using Report Generation VIs to print Control/Indicator (Front Panel)icons on Word Document.  The only issue is that it is so white that it blends with the background (example attachment below). Any suggestions.
    Also, how can I use Report Generation VIs to print items (i.e. case structure and the items within it) from Block Diagram into Word Doc.
    Thanks.

    To answer your second question about inserting a Block Diagram image into your report, one way to do it would be to use a VI Invoke Node with the method Block Diagram >> Get Image Scaled to output Image Data for your Block Diagram (or whatever VI's Block Diagram you wire the VI refnum in for). Then use Draw Flattened Pixmap to change the Image Data format into a picture format that you can wire to a picture control. Then create a reference for this picture control and wire it into the Report Generation Toolkit VI called Append Control Image to Report. That will accomplish what you want.
    I'll attach an example below, but unfortunately I only have the Report Generation Toolkit installed for LabVIEW 8 right now. I'll also paste the image below so you can get an idea of what I'm doing.

  • Report generation toolkit: Avoid a separation of title and image at pagebreak in a work document.

    I want to generate a report with the report generation toolkit in LV7.1.
    In that report I use several report VIs to append text, titles and frontpanel images to a word document template (Office 2003). That works fine.
    Depending on the size and text of my generated report, I have sometimes a problem with pagebreaks: A image is set to a new page if there is not enough space to place it on the old one. That’s ok. The text/title above the image is still on the old page. That's right, but I don’t want this. I know in Word you can use the paragraph formatting options to avoid a separation. But with the corresponding VI from the toolkit (word format paragraph (adv)) it seems not to work. With this VI you should have access to "indents and spacing" and to "line and page breaks". I always and only can change the "indents and spacing". En- or Disabling line or page breaks with this VI does not work, nothing changes in a word document.
    Has anyone some suggestions or other solutions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your input. You are right, that works and could be an alternative.
    In the meantime I found a solution with creating my own activex vi instead of that from the toolkit as you can see in the attached image. Maybe this could help someone with similar problems...

  • Image Resolution in Crystal Report

    I am facing problem in image resolution when resizing big picture in crystal report.
    Please help.

    Thanks for your reply
    The issue is the pictures (e.g. employee photos) are saved in Database as BLOB data type.
    The report is loading employee photo into the report (e.g. employee card), but the loaded picture is coming up with much less quality than the original.

  • Inserting an image into a Word Table with the Report Generation Toolkit.

    I was wondering if it was possibe to use the Report Generation Toolkit to place an image into the cell of a table in a Word document?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Yes, you can do this by using the Word Edit Cell VI under Report Generation>>Word Specific>>Word Tables in your block diagram functions pallette.  After creating a table, you can edit specific cells and send the file path of the image saved on your computer to that specific cell.  I put together an example that I've attached here as well to help you out with this.

  • Reports - Image resolution : How to minimize file size of exported report?

    Our reports are currently using high quality images which makes the file size bigger. Is there any way to reduce the exported report's file size?
    Please provide us the way to use lower quality images in reports to minimize the file size.
    NOTE: In these reports we are embedding the images (with ".jpg" format) programatically at runtime. Also we are using Crystal Reports XI (Product Version 11.5.0.313) with .Net 1.1 framework.

    Using an image program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro you need to reduce the number of colors and DPI while maintaining as much of the clarity as possible.
    Here's what steps will help.
    Open the image you want to change.
    Check the 'Count of Colors used' in the tool you're using.  If more than 256 (8 bit) you'll not be able to do much to reduce colors, but most likely the image has a palette of 17.6 million colors (24 bit)
    If a color image, try reducing to 8bit, 10bit or 12bit.  If a b&w change it to grey scale and reduce.  Some forms can be reduced to 16 (4 bit).
    Next, check the DPI, usually in the 'image information' tool.  If it's more than 200 try reducing to 200.
    Save the image in BMP format with RLE compress if possible.  Look at it in the image tool to see if it has held up.
    We recently pulled 11 pages from a PDF to PNG, changed them to greyscale BMP at 4bit 200DPI and it reduced the RPT file size from 317000k to 2000k.

  • Printed front panel graphics quality (Print Panel to Printer method vs. Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi)

    LV 6.02 (or 6.1)
    NT 4.0
    I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
    ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
    Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
    m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
    Any suggestions?

    You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

  • Report generation for FPGA VI

    Hello..
                  I want to include the number of resources used by FPGA (LUTs, slices, blockrams etc) in my report generation. 
    After compilation is completed, a window showing these resources will occur. But, how can I add this compilation report in my report generation...
    Please let me know..

    Hi
    I made a small code which helps you achieve this functionality.
    Hope it helps!
    In this code: I read from "toplevel_gen_xst.log" file generated for the project; search for the string "Device utilization summary" and extract the part of interest Now you add this extract to your report compiled using report generation toolkit.
    regards,
    Ravi.

  • Error 7, report generation toolkits do not work after building.

    Hallo guys:
    one problem. help!
    I tried to build my programs with application builder, unluckly builded exe application does no work well as before, i checked some similar post from this forum, and added that NIReprot.llb in my project and rebuild, the problem still takes place, my program append some text, tables, and charts into a word template with that Report Generation Toolkits, but it always gives out error 7 and 'NI_Word.lvclass:new report subVI.vi -> NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi -> Creat New Report.vi ->...'error information.
    is there anyone can give me some clues about this annoying problem.
    thanks a lot!!!
    Solved!

    When you say "attached all this library to my project", it is not clear whether you answered the question about including the dynamic VIs in your build specifications. See attached image. You will need to select the files in your project and set them to Always Included. Have you done this?

  • Report Generation MS-Word always give error

    Hi
    I am using LV 2012 and MS Office 2010.
    I am using report generation toolkit to have a customised output report.
    When I specify output format as excel, I am able to get the desired result but when I specify output format as word, it always throws an error. I checked running the NI examples meant to give output in word but they all fail while the excel reports are perfect.

    We need to see the code in order to say "Here is the error" or "Try doing it this way".  It also gives us something to try, ourselves.  Do you know how to make "snippets", which are .PNG "pictures" of your code that you can simply put into the message using Insert Image?  We can then drag this image into a LabVIEW Block Diagram, and voilà, working code!

  • Report Generation Toolkit files in incorrect location after installing deployment

    TestStand 2010 SP1 + LabVIEW 2011 + Report Generation Tookit
    After installing a deployment, the location of NI_Excel.lvclass is expected to be at ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\Excel\NI_Excel.lvclass (see attachment)
    but the path of the file is located at ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\data\NI_Excel.lvclass
    In the deployment image, under the target folder, the file is in ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\data\NI_Excel.lvclass
    and the lvproj finds the file.
    The lvproj in the installation finds the file in ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\data\NI_Excel.lvclass
    Renaming the folder from data to Excel fixes this problem.
    Has anyone else run into this problem?

    I am facing the same issue when I create the TS deployment through utility using TS2012.I thought of adding the file to the Teststand workspace and give the destination in to supportVIs directory.But even tthat didn't worked as it was copying all excel vis in to two locations.
    Even adding the Directory path in to TS search directory options  to "\data folder"  is not resolving the issue and LAbVIEW Vis are not able to locate it.

  • Report generation problems on the WinNT target machine

    I'm using report generation VI's to generate a standard report, mixed with text and graphs.
    In development mode (LV 6.0.2; Win-NT 4.0 SP6)there are no problems to print it. As soon as I make an application (application builder 6.0) and transfer it to the target machine (Win-NT 4.0 SP6; run time engine 6.0.2) I get an error -2147352567 unable to load picture..to Append front panel image to report.vi> If I delete the VI "Append front panel image to report.vi", I can print the text of my report without problems. Do you have any idea?

    I could fix the bug in the meantime. I had installed an older version of the Internet Explorer. When I updated the target PC to Internet Explorer Vers. 5.5, there are no problems anymore. I think it must be a problem of ActivX.

  • Error 10 when building an application in LV8 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1

    I am trying to build an application using LV8.0.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1 and i get this error.
    Error 10 occurred at ABAPI Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi -> ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
    Any ideas?
    Scientia est potentia!

    Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files?  I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs.  I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
    If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
    Good luck,
