Hi
I want to build with LABVIEW an interactive scheme with moving pistons etc (see attached file).
Where can you find examples of such an implementation?
Best Regards,
Yonathan

There is no attached file.
Also explain your definition of "interactive". You can probably do everything you want using a 2D picture indicator, e.g. display any number of shapes and read the mouse position to see where the user clicks.

Sorry about the file.
Please attached.
Interactive means moving pistons, rotating engines etc.
What do you mean in 2D picture indicator? There are no pistons or engines there.
Best regards,
Yonatan

Can you please attach a more normal picture? You attached an image that is 1728x3072 where only an area of 460x640 (~5% of pixels) is not white. What a waste!!! Here's the same cropped to the reasonable content.

No, "interactive" is that the user can interact with it. moving parts is just "animation". I guess you want both.

A picture indicator is just a canvas where you can draw shapes and text as well as insert any images at any desired locations. repeat that while changing locations or image content and you got your moving parts. Right?
An even simpler solution would be customized controls. For example if there are only two states (e.g. valve open vs. closed), you can customize booleans to have different images in the two states. If there is a regular sequence with more than two images, you can cycle though a picture ring.
Here is an example discussion on Lava.
It is likely that there are already toolkits with pre-made controls, so look around.
