I want to import VRML- or STL-images in Labview

[Martin]

I need a tool to import VRML- or STL-vector images in labview.
Also I want to use this images in I-Maq Vision.

Can everybody help me?

Martin,

I suggest using an AxtiveX viewing control. I searched Google.com for some and found many. Download and install a viewer. Then use the ActiveX Container in LabVIEW.
As for using the image in IMAQ, I would play with the ActiveX control first and see how everything is working, then move on to that step.

Ok Randy,
that's right. The ActiveX-Container with the viewer works. But I can't
find any methods or properties with image datas. And what kind of
types would get the output.
I need 2D arrays like an bitmap-type.

thx for answering.

Hi,

Right click the terminal itself, select create>invoke node. There should be
an option 'Get Image'. Convert it into a 2d array using the picture tools.

This doesn't work with all ActiveX components, but it's worth a try.

Regards,

Wiebe.
