bmp read&draw

[aka]

hi there, a simple question:

how can i read a bmp file and show it on the front panel?

i thought i had to use:

Read BMP File.vi and Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi

but nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?

i dont have any specialized packages, so i'm running with the basic vi's on LabView 6.0

thanks,

alex

hi Jonas,

unfortunately i have only LabView 6.0 and 7.0 . is it possible to save yout vi's for version 7.0 compatability and post them again?

thanks anyway,

That should work. There are examples that ship with LV. Check those out.

hi all,

Read BMP File.vi and Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi

are indeed the right functions. what i was doing wrong and caused the problem, was not connecting all inputs to the

Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi (was connecting only the flattened image data array) - although this didn't cause errors, the pic didn't show up.

thanks for the replies,

alex
