GSW Effect

[jgcode]

Hi can anyone tell me how to get this neat effect in terms of the decoration and border?
(I am down with populating symbols into trees etc.)

I am guessing it is a transparent control placed over a decoration?

But which one? Lowered Round Box decoration does not have enough of a curved edge and all the other rounded boxes have too much of a curved edge!

Please help

It is not a control. It is a picture, drawn in some paint package. There's a picture ring control of the three images that LV uses for the splash screen (depending upon which modules you have installed). If you only have a static image, then just paste the .jpg onto the front panel.

I mistook it for a transparent tree....

Cool method...I have always wondered a good use of picture ring control.....now I have found one!

Very sexy!

By the way is it an array of pic rings?

Or does the pic ring expand out to show three "elements"?

See for yourself, the GSW is located in the resources/dialog/GSW directory, drop the VI in another VI and you can inspect the FP.

Cheers but I can't see much coz the main.vi is all locked.

But from hovering over the FP with Help Dialog open it seems they are all individual pic-rings - which answers my question.

Thanks Ton and AQ for the info :beer:

It creates a very nice effect

Try the example instead: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\examples\lvoop\Navigation\Navigation.lvproj

main.vi has the same look as the GSW.
