Reading 24-bit TIFF Files Using LabVIEW IMAQ Tools

[aranS]

Overview

The example demonstrates how to overlay an image with a overlay with variable thickness.

Description

The example loads a TIFF image file and checks the exact image type and loads the image to a IMAQ image buffer. With the 'IMAQ WindDraw' function the image is displayed in a new window.

24-bit TIFF files are TIFF files which use 8-bits to represent each color channel (R, G, B).

Nice, I am looking forward to try this TIFF reading method. By the way, I can use this method to load tiff image stored in web sever, isn't it?

Hi, this example just lets the user select the TIFF file from a file dialog window, but it could be modified to allow you to pull the image from another location

 Hi! Your code can read only 1 tiff image? Do you know how to read a multi-image tiff file?
