Hi all,

I am using Labview 8.6. In my application i want to convert a PNG File to GIF file. Is there any vi for converting PNG to GIF?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi Vaira,

The only way I know is to use "ImageMagick Batch Image Converter VI" that you can find here.

You will need to install the ImageMagick convert sotware on your computer first though.

I hope this helps

Hi Titou,

Thanks for you reply.. But for the vi that you suggested, i need to install some packages. I dont want to do that custom installations. Is there any other options available in LabVIEW?

Thanks,

I don't think you can, at least not in LabVIEW 8.6 and earlier, I don't know about LV 2009, and if you want to suggest it for LabVIEW 2010 you can post here.

Sorry... Why is it a problem for you to install ImageMagick?

If you only want to write the GIF file, there is a function (not in the palettes) that will write the contents of a LabVIEW image to GIF.

Look for LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\picture\gif.llb\Write GIF File.vi

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for you answer...

Hi Titou,

That is a third party software(i guess). So only. 🙂

If it comes with LabVIEW Development Software. Then whether it will be included in the Device Driver DVD? or i need to get any cd from NI. Because to use that vi(you suggested) it need some package to be installed. 😞 

Thanks,
