Display image (w file path has been set) in an image indicator once button is clicked

[quadratini26]

Greetings,

I am a newbie here. As mentioned in the subject, does anyone know or have a basic VI codelet on how to display image in an indicator on the front panel when a button is clicked? 

I have already go through find examples and other resources, I can't seem to find it.

Thank you in advance for any help or ideas.

Hi quadratini,

did you search the examples coming with LabVIEW?

There are example VIs showing the usage if the 2D picture indicator…

yes, I have mentioned that I already searched in the LabView Find examples.

One that I remember of is only showing how to rotate the 2D picture indicator.

Hi quadratini,

how to display image in an indicator on the front panel when a button is clicked? 

You need those functions/structure:

- an event structure to handle the user input event (You  might just poll the button and wire it to a case structure, too.)

- a Read image file function (LabVIEW brings functions for BMP, PNG and JPG files.)

- The PixmapToPicture function as is described and linked in the help of the ReadImageFile functions…

Which of these 3 parts is a problem to you?
