Hello All,
I need to develop a number of avionics styled instruments for the user interface part of my program. I decided to do this using the 2D picture control and have had some success developing the compass lines. See attached image
I then moved onto trying generate the numbers and letters and rotate them around the compass, this is where I have been getting problems
First I found I cannot get the [user specified font] parameters to work in the Draw Text in Rect.vi to work. For example the font size doesnt appear to work for me.
Next I tried to find a way to print text at varying angles around the compass on the pic control, the only method I could find was convert the text to an image and rotate it around the compass centre by looping my code with new text on each iteration. Unfortunately as I rotate the string the text dissappears behind the white pane and and black rectangle appears in place of the shifted box.
I would like to continue using the picture control as it suits the number and type of instruments I need to construct. Otherwise I will need to modify the Labview dials and indicators. Is there a Picture Control toolkit available I have seen yet or an old post solving these issues?
Help Appreciated
Chris
