How to remove border on imported pictures

[colin.gill]

Hi, 

I'm looking to create layers of images, but the default picture viewer in Labview is hindering my progress. Is there any way to remove the border so the overlaid image looks seamless?

Well, without seeing your code (don't bother attaching a picture on my behalf -- I won't waste my time looking at it), I'm reluctant to suggest a method (such as extract the pixels and remove outer rows and columns).

It's possible to set the borders of a picture control to transparent using the Set Color tool from the Tools palette (found under the View menu, in case you're unfamiliar with it).  You need to click right on the border, which can be a bit awkward with the paintbrush-shaped cursor.

I haven't found a way of doing this programmatically.

Please attach the VI you are trying to develop (so we know what kind of "picture" you are describing), along with a sample "picture" you wish to show.  I'm not 100% certain that I understand the problem, but a solution might be possible ...

P.S. -- don't forget to attach your VI and your Image when you reply ...

As others have indicated, the picture control on the classic palette will let you set the border as transparent since it looks like you are trying to place one picture control on top of another but.

There are function on the;

Graphics and Sound >>> Picture

palette that will allow you to insert one image into another and specify where the insert image is placed. No border involved using that approach.

This thread has a collection of links to threads about picture control use and abuse.
