Overview:
Demonstrates how to use the Picture Ring control to create an animated picture.
Description
This program shows how to animate a picture on the front panel using a picture ring (Pict Ring) control. The main VI (animation.vi) cycles through the included sequence of pictures, where each picture represents a "frame" of the animation. By programmatically incrementing the value of the picture ring, the picture appears to be animated. The speed that the ring increments can also be adjusted, making the animation slower or faster.
Requirements
LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Just a suggestion - You can create gif animated image from the frames using photoshop and then just customize the control using the gif image. This way lot of additional code on the block diagram can be eleminated.
I am interested in this vi but am using 7.0. Is it possible to get a version of the vi for 7.0?
Thanks, Hootowl
