changing colors depending on output variable

Hi there,
I am pretty new to LabVIEW, using it for my dissertation at university. I looked for similar questions on this and other forums but can't seem to find an answer.

What I'm trying to do is change the color of a graphic depending on the value of another variable. I'm calculating the temperatures inside a gas turbine, and would like to represent the temperature changes graphically for better understanding. So I have output values for different temperatures, which change with mass flow rate of fuel into the engine. How can I make a graphic change it's colors depending on the value of temperature?

Thanks a lot,

Fabian

Do you mean something like this ? Run the VI and change the value of Thermometer.

Hi there,
thanks a lot for your help! Unfortunately, my stingy university can only supply me with LabVIEW 7.1... is there any way you could save it so I can open it in 7.1? :S Is that even possible in LabVIEW?
 
Again thanks a lot, much appreciated!

Hi JB,

in LV8.5 you can directly save to LV8.0 - this will save you one conversion stepSmiley Wink
