using a image behind the waveform graph?

[EduU]

Well guys, I want to know if its possible in LabVIEW.

I know that I can set a pre-defined image in waveform graph so always when I run my program I can see that image.

But now I want to use a image inside waveform graph.... like a logo or something related. 

It's possible? if Yes, how can I make that?

Thanks

How about making the graph background transparent and putting the image you want behind it?

[Dennis_Knutson]

First you say that you know you can set an image inside a graph and then you ask if you can set an image inside a graph. You either know or you don't. What exactly are you asking?

No need to be so doggone grumpy. It is obvious what the OP wants, and even experienced Labview people say waveform graph then they mean waveform chart . The trick form ricky chauvin is a good idea. But remember that Labview has to update both items each time the chart is updated. On the other hand you do not have to update a chart more than around times pr second in order to make it live. That is a "trick" I often use.

Well thanks for the answers guys.

Dennis, what I want to say is I know that I can go to data operations and set a screen as "make current value default" so always when I start my program this screen will be open.

I like the idea for  ricky chauvin,

but let me ask, what I need is more simple than that I think...

the image from background don't have to change with the time....

and my graph is a waveform graph not a chart...

I will try ricky idea, but don't have an easier way to put a background image at waveform graph?

because I think put background transparent will give me some problems!

Hi EduU,

then use this property as mentioned before...It allows for background pictures in the graph.

I don't understand what "make current values default" has to do with background imagery???

I prefer not to guess what a poster wants and I don't think I was so grumpy. If I was, I would also point out that experienced LabVIEW people know how to spell it correctly.

EduU,

Have you looked at the PlotImages property? There is an example called somewhat appropriately 'Plot Images'. I don't remember when this was added to LabVIEW and I don't know what version of LabVIEW that you are using. I know it's in 8.6.

[EduU]

Thanks for the help Dennis!

I look that example and it's so easy to make that! but the pc i'm using don't have labVIEW 8.6 installed because I use PCMCIA so I have to use LabVIEW 7.1

I tryed look for that in 7.1 and don't have I think.....

so have another way to make that?

The Pilgrimages property is not available in Labeled waveform chart. If your update rate is not to high. You could perhaps put the date in an action engine, and use a waveform graph as a display. And in that way use the Pilgrimages property, and the pram

 Using incorrectly spelling as an argument. Really Dennis! We are grownup people......  

[EduU]

Coq Rouge, 

I use a waveform graph not chart

my problem is because that function is not available in LabVIEW 7.1

so I have to find another way to make that!

Thanks for the help
