Placing an image or picture on Labview PDA pocket PC

[Vsh]

HI.. i'm using labview PDA pocket PC 2003 simulated version for my knowledge base.. I want to put a picture on my PDA screen but it appears as a enlarged one.. i tried the link -- KB 38EJRHFQ: How Do I Put a Picture or Image on My LabVIEW PDA for Palm Front Panel?   but it results out with nothing.. Is it because i'm using a simulated version?? will this be awrite if I use a real PDA hardware.. and to be noted my picture image is jez of 8kb ..

Please suggest me regarding this..

thanks and regards

Vishwanath,

What version of LabVIEW PDA are you using, what kind of PDA, and could you be a little more specific about the behavior you are seeing? For instance, how are you displaying this picture on your front panel: as an embedded image or through a picture control? Does the entire front panel appear "enlarged" or just the picture? Could you post some example code that demonstartes the behavior and/or screenshots of it?

Kind Regards,

Hi,
I had the same problem too, on the Windows-platform you can control the picture size within LabVIEW by the zoom-factor property node.
On the PDA this property is not available. The way I do it is to scale the image manually.

See the following thread to get information about the problems I got there and how to solve them:
Scale image on PDA (Pocket PC)

Perhaps this vi will help you: Resize 2D array without autoindexing.vi (the original version from tst didn´t work on the PDA)

Notice, that only pictures with proportions of 4:3 are read correctly by LV PDA 8.0.1f1

I can post some quick and dirty example code if you want when I´ve been back to work on Monday...

have a nice weekend,
Martin

LV PDA 8.0.1f1?  When did they release a fix for 8.0.1?  Where did you get it?  Sorry to hijack the thread, but this is news to me.

Thanks,
