Apply color lookup table (convert grayscale to a false color image). Color pallets are very useful – would be helpful for saving images for external displays (e.g. web browsers or windows explorer)
I suppose that this suggestion means that the right-click menu item "Save Image..." should offer an option to save the image as seen in the Image Display indicator.
Likewise, having the option to save the overlay as part of the image would be a time saver for the programmer.
This should be easy to do, based on this code which will save the visible part of the image (which is what I was interested in):
Saving the whole image will require copying it into a subVI with an image control which will have to have its control image area resized to the target image size, and be run in transparent mode (for the control to be updated).
Including/Excluding the overlay would be easy in such a subVI (IMAQ Clear Overlay if you don't want it).
We added the ability in VBAI 2018 to save color palette with the Save Image dialog as well as the Image Logging step. The Image Logging step also supports writing AVIs on targets, using relative paths on Windows, and specifying a different FTP port than the default of 21.
