Hi Sharmila,

 

you can

- use JPGs as background images to put your (standard) indicators in front of it...

- customize indicators to change their appearance

- use the picture indicator to show an (JPG) image and todraw your own "animations"

 

You will find a lot of threads on all of these suggestions!

Best regards,
GerdW

Hi Sharmila,

 

as I wrote in my first message:

- put the JPG in the background and place indicators in front of it

- now make the indicators all transparent (using the coloring tool) except for the needle...

 

- for the buttons: use picture rings or customized booleans...

 SInce you want to animate this

 

 

You will probably wna to look at the code posted by PJM in this thread. (Im ena take a look at this thread it already has a dash board rendered using a picture control).

 

Other picture control examples can are linked in this thread.
