animaiton of 2D graph

[labmaster]

Dear

I would like to present my results according to various paramters with powerpoint.

Would you please let me know how to capture the 2D graph (and parameter controls) or make the file with LV conveniently?

Should I save the image frames and then make the avi file in independent avi-application?

You can get an image of the graph using the "Get Image" property and save that to a file. You can then do whatever you want with that image, such as making it into a movie using an avi tool, or import it into PowerPoint.

There are also programs for capturing what you see on the screen to a video file (e.g. Jing, Camtasia).

So, I've dug around and can't seem to find the "Get Image" property...could you point me in the right direction?  I have 2 DDT's going into a Build XY Graph Express VI, then Cluster to XY Graph.

Thanks,

It is actually a method and not a property.

Bonus Q:

Has anyone come up with a nice clean rule that describes when NI makes something a method vs a property?

I surely have not recognized the pattern yet.

Ben,

Congrats on being Knighted  😃    I'm still lost...

instead of create property node use the create invoke node

Mr. Timmis,

That's what I was looking for!

Cheers,

hey ben

I think the difference is that the property node does not have a connector that is white with no ability to connect to it, and invoke nods do...

Not a rule, but an educated guess: The properties and methods are closely tied in to the C++ class hierarchy which is used to represent the VI server hierarchy. The properties allow having access to the data members of a class using a common interface so that NI doesn't have to rewrite code. Methods are used when you need to perform some extra action (e.g. get the data in a format which is not native to what the class already has) or when what you want to do requires extra data as input.
