Triangle or free shape Boolean control

Thanks Troy,

 

I reproduced it with:

 

Classic Boolean => Labeled square Button

Then choose decoration from: Modern Decorations and choose Triangle and then copied to clipboard and then import from clipboard at the same size.

 

The triangle form is enough for me. I like this solution because its completely in labview.

 

alok.p already wrote that the problem is transformed to:

 

How do I make a new Decoration in labview.

I think it has to do with vector graphics otherwise it will not be scalable.

 

I leave this post open because maybe there will be more solutions to this problem.

 

I will NOT post an idea. So anyone who like to do please do so.

 

With Kind Regards,

Toine Roetman

I think it is already covered in the idea exchange by these ideas:

 

Improved decoration and control graphics

 

Support SVG as an image format

Did you read the first two pages of this thread?

There are several tutorials online showing how to do this, but the easiest way is to generate a PNG of the arrow where the area around the arrow is transparent and then paste that image into the button.

Oh yes, for dealing with pngs with transparency, I really like a program called ifranview.

Has this problem been solved yet?

 

I DO know how to solve the problem, just want to know if there is a pure-G solution.

 

For a 4-state buttons, we can customize the XY Graph: Cursor Legend.

But for 6-state, or more ...

Triangles are pretty simple.  Just customize a boolean by pasting triangle decorations into the picture items.

This one is cuh-razy.  I pasted the pointer from a guage into the picture items of a boolean.

Actually, what OP asked for is a special case: non-rectangular buttons lined-up in a ring, not really triangle or free shape.  It's easier to customize a cluster of buttons as a whole, rather than each individual button.

My implementation of Radial buttons presented at NI Week 2018: 

Leveraging the Windows API to Extend LabVIEW GUI Capabilities

 

The advantage:

uses LabVIEW buttons, with build-in button features like show/hide, enable/disable, mechanical actions, and resizable.
