SubpaletteDescription
3D Graph Properties VIsUse the 3D Graph Properties VIs to create 3D data displays.
3D Picture Control VIsUse the 3D Picture Control VIs to display graphical representations of objects in 3D scenes.
Graphics Formats VIsUse the Graphics Formats VIs to retrieve or store image data in BMP, JPEG, or PNG image files.
Picture Functions VIsUse the Picture Functions VIs to create visual representations of data. Many of these picture VIs use clusters to define points and rectangles. The VIs related to drawing text use clusters and enumerations to describe the font choice and the positioning of the text.
Picture Plots VIsUse the Picture Plots VIs to create graphical representations of data.
Sound VIsUse the Sound VIs to play sounds.
