Description
Demonstrates how to use the picture and picture support functions to center and scale an image file in a picture control.
This might be useful to load one or more images for display in a dialog when the image files are of different sizes.
This example uses a file as input, but you could generalize it to accept image data and load other file types using something like G-Image ( https://github.com/dataflowg/g-image )
How to Use
Provide a path to a supported LabVIEW image type ( BMP, JPG or PNG ). Test with an example file from examples\Graphics and Sound\2D Picture Control\images\
If a picture refnum is provided, the control draw area properties will be read and the resulting image loaded into the control.
Optional inputs provided for using an 8 bit color table (jpg) and Transparency Thres (png).
Additional Information
I created this for a dialog box that I use for prompting an operator to perform multiple steps. I'm sharing it after commenting on Brian Powell's blog:
