Vector Waveform XControl
By gb119
lavag_lib_User_Interface_XControls_Vector_Waveform v1.0.2.25 by University of Leeds
Author: Gavin Burnell
Copyright: Copyright © 2011, University of Leeds
License: BSD
Compatible LabVIEW Versions: >= 2018
Compatible OS Versions: ALL.
Description:
This package uses two instances of my Waveform XControl to make a vector waveform - i.e. magnitude and direction or x and y co-ordinates. The resultant vector waveform is plotted on the third tab of the Xcontrol. The XControl can be switched between polar or cartesian co-ordinate modes and it is possible to vary both co-ordinates together or repeating one for every point on the other - thus allowing 2D scans to be built up. The waveform is represented as a complex number where the real co-ordinate corresponds to the X axis and the imaginary to the y. I use this in my own code to allow users to control both a vector magnet and to setup a laser scanning system.
Release Notes:
This Package depends on these other packages:
lavag_lib_user_interface_xcontrole_waveform_xcontrol >= 1.1.2.0.18
oglib_array >= 3.0.0

Boolean XControl
By Ton Plomp
Boolean XControl version 2.2

All rights reserved.
Author:
Ton Plomp
tcplomp@gmail.com
Distribution:
This code was downloaded from:
http://lavag.org/ind...ads&showfile=34
Direct OGP download
Description:
This XControl has a configurable apperance, functioning as a boolean it can show a custom picture with a custom (formatted) text.
On initial drop of the XControl it will show a browse window to load a picture (png, jpeg or bmp) as view of the boolean.
After that the GUI configuration of the XControl is shown where the position of string an picture can be set amongst other things.
The XControl has 3 possible boolean behaviours:
-Switch when pressed
The boolean value will change as soon as the mouse is down on the XControl
-Switch when release
The boolean value will change as soon as the mouse goes up on the XControl, the button will react on the mouse-down
-Switch until released
The boolean value will be changed when the mouse goes down and reverts as the mouse goes up
The button itself can be a Modern, Classic, System or System Decoration style.
Version 2.2.0 introduces nudging of the button, when the button is clicked the button (optionally) moves 1 pixel down,
For the developer it has the following advantages:
-Have a configurable boolean button with customizable interface and behaviour, all of the items can be controlled via VI-server
Instructions:
Unzip to a custom location.
Explore the possibilites with the included Demo.vi which is linked to the XControl in XControl\BooleanXControl_LCR.xctl
To reuse this XControl in mulitple projects install the OGP file with VIPM (http://www.jkisoft.com/vipm), after installation it will be located in:
\_LavaCR\UserInterface\XControls\BooleanXControl\BooleanXControl_LCR.xctl
You have to manually add it to your palette, since LabVIEW won't index XControls.
To hide the use of the XControl to developers you should lock the facade vi (Abilities\BX.Facade__LCR.vi) so the 'Show diagram' options isn't shown.
Addons:
The zip includes a CreateIconVI.vi which will convert any given picture (preferably a 32x32 png) into a VI constant with the icon of the VI the same as the picture. This can be usefull to include some constant pictures inside code that is controlling the XControl
Known issues:
Do not apply multiple properties in one property node, this is a bug in LabVIEW 8.0/8.2
Support:
See this LAVA discussion: http://forums.lavag....trol-t8869.html
Version History:
2.2.0 (21 september 2009): Added 'Nudge' as an option
Added different button styles (Classic, Modern, System, Decoration)
Added a 'Show on Hover' option
On initial drop the terminal is drawn as an icon
Fixed dependencies of the OGP
Fixed an 'Alwasy browse upon options' bug
2.1.0 (6 may 2009): Fixed a bug that closed up the project when it was closed when a VI with the Boolean XControl was still open.
Added an MNU file
Changed development version to 8.5
2.0.12: Changed the default lettertype to be the first one, size 10.
Changed the default behaviour to show the 'Hilited' item
Included a CreateIconVI.vi

Multistate Boolean LED Indicator
By Phil Duncan
Multistate Boolean LED Indicator V1.0.0
Copyright © 2008, Phillip Duncan
All rights reserved.
Author:
Phillip Duncan
--see readme file for contact information
Background:
I have had many people ask for an LED type indicator for their project. During development, I often get asked to have this Boolean (ie 2 state) indicator display one of (more than 2) colours.
Whilst that in itself is not difficult, more often than not I am then asked to make the Boolean LED flash as well to highlight certain states.
For example a single LED will often need to indicate the following states:
OFF (green, red or grey)
ON (Green, red or grey)
Flashing (green, red, any other colour)
I have had so much demand for this functionality, that I decided to develop this XControl and share it with the LabVIEW Community.
Many thanks must go to Aristos Queue and his inspiring "Scrolling LED XControl" example.
Description:
This XControl is a typical Boolean LED indicator that can also be configured to flash between two user defined colours. The flashing interval can also be modified.
When not flashing, the XControl behaves as a normal Boolean LED.
This XControl is an indicator only is is not intended to be used as a control.
Dependancies:
There are no OpenG dependencies for this XCtonrol
Known Issues:
If you save this code for version 8.0/8.2, you may encounter issues trying to assign multiple properties in one property node.
This is a bug in LabVIEW 8.0/8.2

GISXControl Technology Preview Version 0.0.1
============================================
Copyright © 2009, Technogerma Systems France S.A.R.L.
All rights reserved.
----------------------------------------
Description:
----------------------------------------
This project is a technology preview of a simple gauge LabVIEW XControl limited in features and visual aspect.
The XControl is based on a C wrapper on our Graphical Instruments Solution (GIS).
GIS is a set of instruments currently in development (Buttons, LEDs, Gauges, Knobs, Sliders, LCDs, Switches, Tanks, Thermometers, ...) with the following main features:
- C++ library based on Qt framework
- Multiplatform (Mac, Linux, Windows)
- Skin system based on SVG and XML to customize the appearance of each instrument
- Property system to customize the behaviour of each instrument
- Double license: Open source and commercial
---------------------------------------
Aim:
----------------------------------------
The purpose of this technology preview is to see if such a library of XControls could be usefull and to get feedbacks from LabVIEW users community.
---------------------------------------
Usage:
----------------------------------------
Windows
1. Copy mingwm10.dll, QtCore4.dll, QtGui4.dll and QtSvg4.dll into your LabVIEW installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6)
2. Open the project
3. Run the demo.vi
Linux and Mac
Not yet available. If you are interested in a Linux or Mac version please contact us.
---------------------------------------
Known issues:
----------------------------------------
- Performance issue when the value change rate is too fast. This will introduce a desynchronization between the current value and the displayed value.
This is due to the XControl architecture that stacks data changed events. See http://forums.lavag.org/XControl-DataChanged-events-stacking-t13459.html for more details.
