retrieving image from export file

[fredteng]

Hi guys. I have a polar plot in my VI that is suppose to show a fully plotted ellipse after the VI had finish running. I wish to know how I could export this ellipse to another VI through a designated path where my VI export the log files. 

Hope to receive all of your prompt replies.

Thanks.

Hello fredteng,

since the polar plot is a simple picture in a picture indicator, you can explort its content by using the "picture to pixmap.vi" to convert the picture indicator content to an image- Cluster, then use e.g. "write to png.vi" from the graphics formats palette to create a picture file.

To import the picture you use the "Read png file.vi" and "Draw flattened Pixmap.vi".

Hope this helps,
