Could not display bmp pictures on the front panel

[Kian]

On my LV5.1, I used the Read BMP File.vi to read my bmp file. I wired a file path to it. Then I wired the "flattened image data" to the Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi. From here, I wired the "new picture" to Picture.ctl. However, I could not get the image. What is the problem? Did i leave out any wiring? Please help.

Are you telling your vi where is the picture in your system 🙂 ?

I attached a simple example that read a bmp file and display it in the picture indicator. When you run your vi, a dialog box open from where you should select the bmp file. It also return the full path of the image.

For the different formats supported in LabVIEW, check the following example:

Reading from JPEG/PNG/BMP Images into a LabVIEW Picture Control

Nkk,

You need to make 4 connections between "Read BMP File.vi" and "Draw
Flattened Pixmap.vi". Wire the following from Read... to Draw...:

depth to bit depth (8)
rect to rect
flattened image data to flattened pixmap data
color table to color table

That should do it.

Hope this helps.

Jim
