CVI

Hi ...

There is thing I do not understand...

Can you tell me why... in CVI the function like 3D graph... which is in Componant Work, the math function of Gmath... in LabView is not in CVI

Do you want us to move to VC++ or other... It is kind of frustrating... especially that CVI is a pretty nice IDE... and I love to it

I really don't understand...

Best regards

Steph

Hi,

Have you install the SDK as well? Its not installed as part the the Typical Installation. Run the setup again and select the Windows SDK.

Steph,
CVI does have a 3D graphing method, but it is a little different than the CW one. It is the cviogl.fp which is located at ...
Measurement Studio\CVI\toolslib\custctrl\cviogl.fp
These functions all have explinations as to what each call performs.

In CVI 6.0, you can use ActiveX controls, which means that you can use the same 3D Graph from CW and LabVIEW in CVI. There is an example in \samples\userint\activex\ in version 6.0. As for the GMath toolkit in LabVIEW, this was not developed in CVI due to low demand. These development environments (LabVIEW and CVI) provide 99% common functionality, however, they are developed independently and therefore will always be slightly different. There are also many things you can do in CVI that you can't in LabVIEW. We definately do intend to push you to any compiler. CVI is a very popular product for us and we are always working on improving it and keeping it up to date. I'm not sure what version of CVI you are using, but CVI 6.0 which is the current version ha
s many, many new features.

Steph,

I'm glad to hear you enjoy programming in CVI. Join the club!
By now you probably already know how to incorporate a 3DGraph into your project (from the other responses). One thing I wanted to point out is that the C math libraries that are freely available, include most of what is in GMath toolkit for LabVIEW. So I don't think you're missing out.

Steph,
I would look in a search engine for C Math libraries. And basically look for whatever suits you. Here is one link where you can get started:
