Write AVI File with New Color Palette

[Cole_R]

Overview

This example turns grayscale images into a different color palette and then writes the new images to a AVI file.

Description

In LabVIEW, we can easily view a grayscale image in a different color palette by simply selecting the color palette on the Image Display indicator itself.  We can also modify the images to contain the new color palette information, allowing us to create AVIs with the new display.  In this example, we turn a grayscale image to an array of pixel values, which we then replace with the corresponding values from the selected color palette.  After that, the array is turned back to an image and the frame is written to the AVI.
