Fading from one picture to another in LabVIEW

[Dennis_M1]

Hello - I have two jpg images. I would like to display them on a control such as a button or picture. I will need to be able to click on the control and respond to the mouse click - no problem with this bit.

My problem is that I would like to automatically fade from the first picture to the second picture and then back to the first picture... and so on every few seconds. I.e. I want the image shown on the control to automatically cycle between two pictures. Is there a vi within the picture control/graphics toolkit that will allow this?

THe graphic effect can be realized using a picture ring with a set of images that give the desired effect when sequenced. Just cylce through the values at the rate you want.

If you need to change the images that are morphed, then it can be done by doing a wieighted average of each of the three color componenets for each pixel where the weighting shifts from one iamge to the next.

have fun,

Ben

Thanks - the picture ring did the trick!
