Using OpenG Toolkit with base version of LV

[Frank Benoit]

Hi

I tried to install the OpenG toolkit. But when i start it, it is missing
the "Read BMP File.vi" and some other vi's from the "Graphics & Sound"
palette which is not included in the Base Version of LV 6.1. Has anyone
tried to fix and use it with the base version?

Frank,

Instead of using the OpenG installer, you could just open the individule packages using any Zip compatable compression program (Winzip, UltimateZip, Stuffit...) and extract the files to your user.lib directory.

The .ogp files are just .zip files with a different extension.

Thanks for the feedback. This is actually a problem in the OpenG Package Installer. I have submitted a bug report and will work on a fix.

Thanx for the answer.

I don't know the lib neither the stuctures of the user.lib directory.

I unpacked like this:

user.lib/
oglib_appcontrol-2.1-1/....
oblib_array-2.0-1/...

In the toolspalette there are many question marks.

Now I downloaded OpenGoop. But the examples doesn't load. MyComponent
looks for "Get String from Enum.vi". I located a file "Get String from
Enum__ogtk.vi" and so on. Do I have to rename all theses Files, so they
don't have the __ogtk?

Frank,

I would recommend modifying your OpenG Package Installer. Simply remove the missing VIs and output default values (null pictures). Then you can use the package installer.

I have fixed the VI "Draw Image from File" and the Installer ist running
without error. I installed the actual packages. But the funktionpalette is
empty, have I missed an installationstep?

.... and in user.lib/ the vi's are all called *__ogtk.vi. So I can't open
any example vor OpenGoop

Ok, after looking more into the install instructions, I have the things in
the palette and the examples running
