Unusual Intensity Plot

[davidpcl]

Has anybody got any idea how I might re-create this Matlab plot in LabVIEW without spending days developing a 2D picture solution to the problem, which although would be most fun is unlikely to be received particularly well by the project manager!

It's fundamentally a circular intensity plots which probably has a particular name which unfortunately I don't know, and the only person who might know is off sick today.

Any thoughts greatfully received.

Thanks,

David

Well it does rather look like a weather radar display and there is a radar plot that ships with LV. Perhaps that's usable?

You could use a plain intensity graph and map your data into it.

Have had a look at the radar plot, unfortunately although it allows you to plot the basic coordinates it doesn't do the 2D interpolation that I am looking for.

Thanks,

That may be the way to go, unfortunately the requirement that I'm working to is to produce an identical report to that which the original Matlab code produced, I actually use the intensity plots for another part of the software, but it's the ability to display values interpolated on a circle with the plot lines and the degree text indication.

It looks like we may have to stick with having the Matlab code running within a script node to produce this which is annoying as the whole purpose of the exercise was to move everything over to LabVIEW so that we no longer need a Matlab licence. Inconvenient, but not the end of the world, and I may get some time to produce a clone using the 2D plot control at some point.

Thanks,

David

Well, the plot lines, circles, numbers, etc. are not problem using the plot images overlay. For the rest, you would just make the data outside the circular area the same as the background.

Do you have a file with typical data?

[altenbach · Accepted solution]

Here's a quick draft (LV2010). Of course it needs a bit more work.

 

You would just use a few more image tools to add the straight lines and the text to the image part.

[davidpcl]

That may well do the job, like you said it needs some more work, but certainly the basics are there - I shall try and have a play this afternoon and see what I do with it and get back to you if I can get something working.

Many thanks,

David

Can you please tell me if this radar has been implemented?

See here.

Not exact but it is a start.
