I want to design a circle of direction

[hannibal]

Hi. I am new to LabView.

I have to design a circle which can show the direction (such as: North, South, South West,...) and the needle which can move like the picture I upload.

I use the Gauge Control but the max and the min line has a distance, therefore it can't display all the direction.

Can you suggest some ideas for me?

I really appreciate your help.

You can grab the max value line of the scale with your mouse and pull it towards the min value. You get a gauge that does 360deg this way.

You can also grab the min value to rotate the entire scale. This could be usefull if you want the 0/360 value at the top instead of at the bottom of the gauge.

Thanks Jeffrey. I tried and that's cool.

Thanks Ben for your detailed instructions. I can directly make use of your .vi to my project.

Is that a semi-transparent needle?

Yes it is!

Cool.

Are you going to share?

Yes it is!

I believe that's a numeric with a transparent background placed on top of the needle, which is not transparent.

Hey, your front panel is exactly what I need. Can you show me your block diagram?

Thanks in advance.

Besides I must create it as an internet website.

Now I do not know how to do. Can you give me some materials for me to reference?

Thanks much.

I must design it through LAN first and then via the Internet.

That's still the problem for me.

So I appreciate all your help.

Funny that you should mention that.

This was actually the front end of a web based weather monitoring station driven totally by the LV internet toolkit web server.

I could recall historical data too, although it took a bit more.

I'll see what I can drum up, but the directional control was based on a customized control w/ 4 floating text decorations.

Hey that's fun. So I need more help from you. 'Coz I don't have any skill about that.

I try to create something like that. I also have a task to design a virtual weather station.

Could you send me that VI or some instructions to program and design it?Could you recall it?

Thanks in advance.
