display cursor automatically

Hello

 

I have some couples of coordinate for a point and I have already displayed my three points in red with IMAQ Overlay function

Now I want to display a cursor on each point instead of a point.

Is there a function for that?

 

Thanks for your help

Hi!

 

What do you want your cursor to look like?  Usually, you need to use a little math with the existing overlay functions to draw out your desired shape.  For example, the code below uses the IMAQ Overlay Line function twice to draw a 5 pixel by 5 pixel cross.

Let me know if you have questions about applying this technique to your desired shape.

Hi

 

I would like a crossfor my cursor so the VI you showed me is perfect

But is the while loop compulsory to do that? I try to avoid loop when it is possible, but let me know.

I just used the while loop to allow the user to continually update the position of the point.  You won't need to use it in your application if you don't need a loop.
