adding picture to control knob

Hi, I want to display the angle of rotation of a test subject's head as it is rotated slowly by my robotic manipulator.  I could use any number of dials to do this but I would prefer to have a simple graphic of a head rotate around a centre point with the actual position.  Is there any way to put such a graphic on a dial so it rotates with the dail?  Or can I adjust some attribute of a photo to rotate the photo on the front panel with the position data?

 

I have three axis and feel this would be the best way to present the data to the operator.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Interesting idea. It can be done, but it's a bit of work. Take a look at this article and some of the links that are within it.

Making a custom dial.

 

It would be nice if LabVIEW could rotate graphics on a dial, but it's not a simple thing to do.

You might also want to look into 3D Sensor Mapping.  Here is a great link to a tutorial.
