Overview
The example demonstrates how to convert a IMAQ Image to a LabVIEW Picture and vice versa.
Description
In LabVIEW there are two different types of images: The LabVIEW Picture data type and the IMAQ Image data type. The LabVIEW Picture data type is part of LabVIEW whereas the IMAQ image data type is provided by the Vision Development Module (VDM).
There are functions to help convert both formats in both directions, though there are different functions for the handling of grayscale and color images.
