Overview

The example demonstrates how to create a 3D profile of an image.

 

Description

The 'IMAQ 3DView' function creates a 3D impression of the image intensity. Therefore a grayscale image is required.

To analyse the distribution of the color components red, green and blue, the function 'IMAQ ColorHistograph' is used to generate histrographs.
