Picture Control to Waveform Graph

[Steve.Briggs]

Hello everyone,

I'm utilizing the Draw Text at Point VI to display the string "eo" on the picture control.  To put the fear of intense imagining behind, I bring up the question, is there any way to convert the Picture Control, and it's contents, to Waveform graphs?  I could have sworn I worked with intensity graphs and did conversions in this fashion but for the life of me I cannot remember how it was done.

If not, is there any simple way to bring up actual text in a waveform graph for laser imaging to follow?

Thanks for any help...

Regards

Hi Steve.Bri...,

if you really mean picture to waveform, then you have to analyze your picture. To write text into your graph, then you can use annotations. See the shipped example "Programmatically Annotate a Graph.vi".

Hope it helps.

Hi Steve,

I had a colleague transfer an image into a Waveform Graph.  What came out was not at all the original picture.  The IMAQ driver was used.  I don't know of a method like what you have described.
