Picture animation

[Basile21]

HI, everybody

I have a flame on my front panel and I want to animate it or just see it moving when I run my VI. Is it possible ??? And If it is, can I have an exemple please !!!!

You can use a gif picture and you don't need to do anything.

Or use a picture ring

The easiest way is to use an animated GIF image. All you need to do is drag it into your front panel. You should easily find one by searching Google for "flame GIF". You can also create them yourself using some freeware tools.

Hi Pnt,

Thanks for your help but Can I have the animation just whene the VI is  runing ????

The next easiest approach is to use a picture ring and continually cycle through is images.

The code I attached in this thread has a sub-VI that grabs the images in gif's. Read my notes on operating it and watch what happens when you import a new emoticon.

Take those images and import them into a picture ring.

Have fun,

Ben

This has already been asked.

You can also control a GIF by placing it in a tab control or a customized boolean and then showing or hiding that control.
