IMAQ Vision 5.0 - where are overlay vi's

[fowlerdb]

Using IMAQ Vision 5.0 for LabVIEW, I find in the online reference overlay vi's such as IMAQ overlay rectangle, etc. I want to overlay a rectangle on an RGB image to show a region of interest in the application front panel. However I can't find any of these vi's in any of the IMAQ palettes. Where are they?

The overlay functions are new functions introduced in IMAQ Vision 6. In version 5, your options are to use IMAQ Draw or IMAQ Draw Text. These functions will allow you to type text and draw shapes on the image. The only drawback is that both are destructive overlays.
