For Loop To lines

[sujeep]

Hi,

Help Plz

I do i use for loop in labview for the code given below

int is=5, y6fs=410;
 for(i=0;i<=79;i++) /*Draw Sensors [80 in no.] on the board for region*/
 {
         line(50,y6fs,100,y6fs);
  y6fs=y6fs-is;
 }

Thanks in advance.

The for loop is easy but what does the 'lines' command do?

Hi

int is=5, y6fs=410;
 for(i=0;i<=79;i++) /*Draw Sensors [80 in no.] on the board for region*/
 {
         line(50,y6fs,100,y6fs);
  y6fs=y6fs-is;
 }

This is used to draw 80 horizontal lines vertically with the gap of 5mm. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi sujeep,

where does this 'line' command come from? Is this some command for a plotter?
Where do you want to draw the lines? On the [computer] screen you may use a picture control... On other devices you should use some sort of driver!

Please provide more information.

Hi sujeep,

If you are just wanting to know the process of using the For Loop, you would just drop down a for loop and wire 79 into the N (number of iterations).  You would place your "line" code inside the for loop.  I agree with Gerd, we have no idea what this "line" code is supposed to do.

I suggest taking some time to get familiar with programming in LabVIEW before trying to directly translate C code into LabVIEW code.  Once you learn the basics, it should be fairly easy.
