Override palette for all grey scale 8-bit images in given VI

[ikrylov]

Hi!

I have more than one "display image" controls in my VI. I would like a way to override default palette settings for all of them (set it to "user defined" and set a specific user defined palette I load and parse from a text file). Is there a way to do that?

Hi ikrylov,

I assume you are already using a property node to write to the User Palette property of your desired image? You can create another property node for your second image. Alternatively, you could take your first property node and right click >> disconnect from control. This will make it a reference input. Then you select all images (or do it one by one), right click >> create reference. Build these references into an array, and feed them into the property node using a For Loop.

Hi gregoryj,

Thank you for your reply! I'll try to implement this solution.

At the risk of introducing a global solution for a local problem, is there any information on whether palettes of Image controls are defined somewhere they are possible to change or they are hardcoded in ImageControlPlugIn.dll?
