Looking for animated running Dog VI

Does anyone have a copy of the running dog vi that demonstrates animation with a picture ring?
 
Thanks in advance

Great one dev ;).
 
Well I don't know about a running dog, but there is a vi (robot.vi) available in the examples which is not bad. Maybe this can also help you.

I've seen a running horse.  But not a vi.  It was a cursor instead of the usual arrow.

Do you want to implement a running dog as part of a program (ie: to show activity)?  Does it have to be a vi?

I just saw Ben's alien...  🙂

Is it a running alien?

To roll your own, do the following:

  1. Do an advanced image search in Google and look for "animated running dog" in the GIF or PNG format - at this point you can just paste it onto the front panel of your VI, or, for more control...
  2. Take the image you find and decompose it into its separate frames (most photo editors will do this - if you don't have one, I know GIMP works, but it is somewhat user unfriendly)
  3. Paste the separate frames into successive frames of a pict ring control.
  4. Set up a While loop to iteratively go through the frames of the pict ring (just set its value at each loop iteration).  You can adjust the timing and sequencing to your liking.
Have fun.
