How do I take an extracted image and place it back into the original image?

Hey,

First of all, not sure if this is the right message board, but I cant find a message board for NI Vision questions.

Heres what I'm doing.  To save time in the inspection process I have extracted a subimage from my original inspected image.  I used this subimage to threshold at a really low threshold, which is where I get my time savings, but now I need to put that sub-image back into the original image at the same location (just to put into a viewer and make the customers happy).  How do I do it?

Thanks

Hey,

You can use IMAQ ImageToImage:

Thanks Andrey,

I actually tried to use that originally and it didnt work, but that was because I had copied the original image incorrectly.  So by knowing that ImageToImage was definately the way to go, it made it clear that earlier code was implemented wrong.  Basically I made the mistake of copying by doing the following:

 tempImage = DestinationImage

instead of:

copy(destinationImage, tempImage). 

Since my viewer was tied to my DestinationImage, it was screwing everything up.

Thanks!
