Add different image to needle

[Gak]

Hi,

I am using labview 8.5. I have taken one gauge control. What I want to do is, at every position its needle should have different image. Say if range of gauge is 1 to 6 then at each position needle will have different images. Can I do it?

Thank you

Hi Gaurav,

how many different needle images do you need? You can create as much needles as show need with different images and show and hide them depending on the value.

If you only have 6 positions to illustrate then a Picture Ring can be adapted using your own images for each value. With many more values that appraoch becomes un-workable. In that case you could use a Picture Control and render the image as required.

Ben, is Mike's suggestion not a better & easier one than yours?

Since he can add the req no. of needles easily & also customise them with only a little bit of work.

Just asking...

 Maybe so. I'm just padding out the menu so the original poster has more options to choose from.

The picture ring can be dirt simple. THe Picture Control is a last resort option.
