IMAQ 3DView VI

Owning Palette: Image ManipulationInstalled With: NI Vision Development Module

Displays an image using an isometric view. Each pixel from the image source is represented as a column of pixels in the 3D view. The pixel value corresponds to the altitude.

Note  This VI modifies the source image. If you need the original source image, create a copy of the image using the IMAQ Copy VI before using this VI.

3D options is a cluster containing the following elements:

csgl.gif

alpha defines the angle between the horizontal and the baseline. The value can be between 0º and 45º. The default value is 30º.

csgl.gif

beta defines the angle between the horizontal and the second baseline. The value can be between 0º and 45º. The default value is 30º.

ci32.gif

border defines the border size in the 3D view. The default value is 20.

ci32.gif

background defines the background color for the 3D view.

ci32.gif

plane specifies the view to display if the image is complex. The following four possible planes can be visualized from a complex image. For complex images, the default is the magnitude.

  • real (0)
  • imaginary (1)
  • magnitude (2)
  • phase (3)

Direction (NW) defines the viewing orientation shown for the 3D view. The following viewing angles are possible. The default is North West.

North West (0)

Sets the viewing orientation to northwest

South West (1)

Sets the viewing orientation to southwest.

South East (2)

Sets the viewing orientation to southeast.

North East (3)

Sets the viewing orientation to northeast.

Image Src is a reference to the source image.

Image Dst is a reference to the destination image.

Size reduction is a factor applied to the source image to calculate the final dimensions of the 3D view image. This factor is a divisor that is applied to the source image when determining the final height and width of the 3D view image. A factor of 1 uses all of the pixels of the source image when determining the 3D view image. A factor of 2 uses every other line and every other column of the pixels of the source image to determine the 3D view image. The default is 2.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

cbool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

ci32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Maximum height defines the maximum height of a pixel from the image source that is drawn in 3D. This value is mapped from a maximum of 255 (from the source image) in relation to the baseline in the 3D view. A value of 255, therefore, gives a one-to-one correspondence between the intensity value in the source image and the display in 3D view. The default value of 64 results in a four-fold reduction between the original intensity value of the pixel in the source image and the final displayed 3D image.

Image Dst Out is a reference to the destination image. If Image Dst is connected, Image Dst Out is the same as Image Dst. Otherwise, Image Dst Out refers to the image referenced by Image Src.

ierrcodeclst.gif

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

ibool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

ii32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

istr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
