saving block diagram to jpg

[Sachindian]

Hello everyone,

I want to save the code of the block diagram of the LabView to be included as appendix in my thesis. Could anyone please suggest me how i can do it. For Front panel it was easy but for the block diagram i am not able to print screen it as the code is to big to come in one screen.

Thanks

Sachin

Hi Sachindian,

In your block diagram:

First, Ctrl+A to select all the items in your block diagram. Ctrl+C to copy everything from your block diagram. Go to Paint and Ctrl+V to paste it in paint. Then save it as JPG in paint.

Warmest regards,

Hello Sachin,

I believe what you're looking for is the Print Dialog Box (File>>Print).  Select the "VI Documentation" option and you'll be able to export all of your block diagrams, including hidden frames and structures.

Programatically also you can do

Hi Sachindian,

when it comes to documenting block diagrams you should NOT use JPG format - PNG is a much better option then!

And btw.: did you know the snippet feature of LabVIEW? It creates PNGs from the selected part of the block diagram...

I very highly recommend installing the Code Capture Tool.  It is available via VIPM or here.
