For industrial applications like conveyor belts or material or energy flow you may want to implement running or moving graphic objects on the frontpanel.

This examples shows how to implement graphical running lights. <img src="../nicommunityexample.2007-11-17.9883969867/"/>An area defined through an picture object is repeatedly filled by a sequence of lights or any graphical object read from a file. These graphic is shifted in a loop so that the objects are running through. Preallocating the graphics makes this much more CPU effient as using Property nodes to move graphics around on the front panel. During movement each light or graphical object can be switched on and off.  Direction of movement is automatically detemined by largest dimension of picture or can be set manually. Supports JPG PNG and BMP pictures.Run RL_Example.vi.
