Description
Overview:
This VI demonstrates how to save an array of pixel values as a color or greyscale image without using VIs only available in the NI Vision Development Module.
Description:
This VI was designed as a subtle workaround to not having the VIsion Development Module when you want to translate and save an array of pixel value into images. The VI allows a user to take a standard numeric array and display it as an image value, either greyscale or color.
Steps to Implement or Execute Code:
1.) Specify where you are pulling the array data from in the "Read Path" dialog.
2.) Specify where you would like to save the .png file in the "Write Path" dialog.
3.) Run the VI
Requirements:
- IMAQ Driver (Vision Acquisition Software "or compatible")
- LabVIEW Version 7.1 "or compatible"
VI Snippets:
The first example converts the array to a grayscale image and the second converts the array to a color image.
Additional Information or References:
Some VIs used in this example are not available in LabVIEW Base.
