Please include GetTextBitmap.vi and any other subVIs.

Thanks!

It should be there under "Downloads". Let me know if you are still having trouble getting it.

If possible, can you save it to LV 8.5 version and post it

[StevieZ]

Posted versions for LabVIEW 8.2. These should load in any version of LabVIEW after 8.2 just fine (including 8.5). Let me know if you are having any problems opening them.

Hello!

Can you please tell me how to make scrolling from bottom to top?

Thank you!!!

[StevieZ]

A simple transpose of the array should do the trick. Place a Transpose 2-d array inside the while loop and before the for loop. Then place another one just after the for loop.

[Athin]

Thank you!!!

It works,

Is there an solution for adding a zero line array between each array?

[arifi]

could you inform me how to make such scrolling but with series of images in a folder of image?

How to change the meaning of the text, that is, to go from left to right?
