3D Picture Axis Definition

[id]

As I program the 3D Picture Control, my mind is always in need of the infamous XYZ Axis definition graphic with 3 Vectors definiing the axes on the display to  ease my thinking.  Does anybody have one or is there a property or soemthing that I can show on the:manfrustrated: 3D Picture Indicator?

Hello Id,

According to this forum, he was able to display a set of XYZ coordinate axes using the VIs that come in Program Files>>National Instruments>>LabVIEW>>vi.lib>>picture>>3DPicture Control. Search in the functions, there is one called Draw Cartesian Axes.vi that could become useful. Please let me know.

I could not find any VI named draw cartesian axes.vi as you said in your response.  I have the regular VIs that are on the 3D picture/graphics palette and another llb file of old 3D Controls. I have attached my dir listing for the dir that you said that it was in.  Am I missing a toolkit or something?

Hello Id,

It’s ok, that image is the 3D Picture Control. Before entering that directory, in the Program Files>>National Instruments>>LabVIEW 2012>>vi.lib>>picture you will see the 3D picture control folder and other llbs, the second one is called cartesn.llb, one of its VIs is call Draw Cartesian Axes.vi. These are llbs in which you could check the VIs and see if one of them is helpful for you.
