Flat or Borderless Picture Controls

[mje]

Have any of you seen a flat or borderless picture control in your travels?

 

I'm using the picture control to render data to the clipboard and trying to get rid of the three pixel control border that gets rendered. Right now I have the border set to transparent which results in a white border around all of my images regardless of their content. If I set it to a color, LabVIEW draws a 3D effect in the border. Ideally I'd like to kill that border entirely, or at the very least have a flat control where I can have the border be a fixed color so it blends into the image content.

 

Back in the day I remember someone here posted a borderless cluster control, so I'm wondering if such an thing exists for picture controls?

I needed this for a project a while back...in my case, it was an array of pictures with zero borders (and no array element borders either). Here's a VI containing the array of borderless pictures, saved in LabVIEW 2013.

Very clever!

I would never have thought of this. And yet, it takes only a tiny bit of tweaking and editing the indicator, judiciously placing the "picture part" on the foreground (I started out with and NXG picture indicator).
