You mentioned Mondrian and sparked my art geekiness.  Now my LabVIEW geekiness and art geekiness have combined to a whole new level of geekiness!

Kind of reminds me of this:

Where does Mondrian come from? I don't quite see his name in this thread. However I kind of like the Mondrian type BD... what does the code actually do ;-). Would be nice if it was drawn by itself.

Mondrian is the name of the artist. Wiki here.  I think it was something @Mellobuck or @LabBEAN said awhile ago about their BD being abstract art.  @billko that's awesome, probably the idea came from Mondrian's art.

 The code is included here if anyone wants it.  Just don't run VI Analyzer on the VI.  It would fail the wire bends test and the wires behind structures test for sure.  But one must sacrifice for one's art.

Here is the Code.

Wow. Sorry everyone. It kept crashing and telling me my post was not successful. I thought it was true because it didn't show up in the thread.

I wake up this morning to find I posted the same thing 8 times. I feel like a noob.

It wasn't your fault. I try to have it cleaned up...

(EDIT: I guess somebody already did...)

In my Mom's garage I have an ancient Partidge Family metal lunchbox.  WITH Thermos!  When it's worth a gajillion dollars I plan on retiring.

A former boss of mine was trying to help out a program that was clearly going in the wrong direction.  He was giving great technical advice, and mentioning high risk items that needed more attention.  The program management generally ignored his advice and the program went in the tubes.  Not long after that his most quoted proverb was "Not my circus, not my monkeys".

Behind that link, it is that very familiar feeling, I feel that pain sometimes too 🙂 I really like this proverb, it mentally helps to "give it up", and try not to get involved/help in every projects you just run into 😄 But very often hard to resist the temptation to get involved, even if inside you know, you will regret this, haha.

One of these moments I remember, I was "near" a project which actually involved an interesting experiment, with lots of DAQ, vacuum chambers, motor actuators with vacuum feedthroughs, heating, etc... The guy at the software side was a "self-taught" LV "programmer", but the worse kind. Since I am always interested in LV projects, I had a short look when they were trying to solve some race condition problem, well it was not clear to them it was due to race conditions 🙂 The code was bleeding from stacked sequence structures, and global variables everywhere in read and write mode too... I just had a question: "hmm, here you might could consider using a FGV"...response: "FGV sucks, I never use them!"...

Ok, this was the moment, when I said inside: "Not my **bleep**, have fun guys!" 😄
