Doing snypshots, saving and loading images without Vision

[LabViewStarter]

Hi!

I am trying to display, save and load images for a few time now, but doing this without IMAQ Vision it seems to be very hard.
I was told to download IMAQ 2.6 and look at the exaples, but there is only one example working well. When I open the others
LabView doesn't find all components (e.g. IMAQ WindDraw.fi, IMAQ WindSize,...). In one example there is an image control,
but somehow I can't find it in the controls.
So I coul use intensity graph. This works. But then there is the problem of saving and loading images. I can use IMAQ WriteFile,
but where is IMAQ ReadFile. I don't find it.
I could do IMAQ ImageToArray and save the array, but where is IMAQ ArrayToImage to show the image again???

Lots of
questions and I hope anyone out there can answer at least one of them.

Oh: I am using LabView 6.1 and IMAQ PCI-1411

Thanks

Someone told me to use the functions from "Graphics and Sound" directory in the pallet, but I do not have this register 😞

Starter, please see if the attached vi is any help. You will find the graphic vi's in graphics & sound >> Graphics formats (if installed). Ignore the WFGraph strict comment - it is for another VI. Note that the picture control could be anything - graph, boolean etc, and if label is hidden the graphic will show the control only with none of the vi background.
