ANIMATION ON LABVIEW

[Noman Kiyani]

I WANT TO CREATE AN ANIMATION FOR ELEVATOR USING LAB VIEW-2010.CAN  ANY ONE HELP ME IN THIS?

[altenbach]

Can you be a bit more specific? What kind of animation? How should it look like?

• You could import an elevator picture into the slider of a vertical slide indicator ...
• you could put a sequence of images into a picture ring indicator ...
• ....

I've been waiting for this moment!

I've made an example which allows you to create animations in LabVIEW based on a series of JPEG/PNG/BMP images!

All you would need to do is compile a folder with all of the images inside, named in order of their frame ordering. I.e. Frame1, Frame2, Frame3...

The overhead in this is that we'd need to read each one of these images into LabVIEW, rather than cleverly manipulate the images using LabVIEW's built in functions.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use an animated GIF or the picture ring?

There is already a shipping example which shows one way of animating elevators. Just open the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) and search for "animation".
