vertical picture Ring

[tgrandin]

Hi everybody!

I developped for my application a control allowing to change the ramps colors of my graphs (for example Grey Level, 3 Colors, Heat colors, Spectrum Colors, etc...), it is working well. But the control allowing to choose those different colors is not very adapted to what it represents. First I chose a dialog ring with names of the different modes in (Grey Level, 3 Colors, Heat colors, Spectrum Colors), but this is good for a prototype only... I replaced it by a Picture Ring, with pictures of the different ramps in. This is more adapted, the problem is that when you want to choose your picture, every picture is displayed in squares horizontaly aligned (my pictures are hor130 pixels x ver20 pixels, as they represent a ramp). This is taking much place on the screen, and they are displayed very small...

Would anybody know how to display those picture vertically, and at their original size?

Thanks a lot

Thomas

It doesn't look like there is any way to change that, so I think your only option is to write your own VI which will be the pop-up and open it by using the mouse down event. Then, you can order the images any way you like and decide which was clicked on. If you disable the picture ring the selection menu will not open when you click the ring.

I would have to see your code, I'm not completely understanding what you want. You could try putting your pictures into an array, using the picture control. Or get each picture size set the way that you want them, then bundle the picture into a cluster and build an array of the clusters.
