Vector Images


Recommended Posts

As the result of a good number of "Save as for Web" commands in Photoshop to make the three button modes of a system button (Up, Down, and Highlight), I have been looking for a method of importing vector-scalable graphics into LV.

Is there a way to import formats like .svg? If not, has anyone comeup with a clever scaling method? Possibly some XControl trickery? :P

ImageMagick, which you can access using the LVOOP ImageMagick Interface library in the Code Repository reads & writes (& scales, etc.) SVG data, although I had to update to the latest version (6.3.4-Q16) to get SVG handling to work (I'm not the only one):

However, that just gets it into a picture contol (or a file of a different format). I'm not sure that helps you real directly.

EDIT: The screenshot shows a "-resize 750" on the block diagram, but the front panel shows a "-resize 500". That's because the two screenshots aren't from the same run :headbang:

Combined with some scripting, this could work for creating a button programmtically. Unfortunately, I do not have enough experience with scripting to make a usable too. Has anyone been able to use scripting with picture controls?

Incidentally, the easy way to find something like this, since I mentioned it was in one of the OP's other threads, is to click the user's name and select the option for viewing their threads.
