MdispControl



Function Map
Synopsis
Control a MIL display setting.
Syntax
void MdispControl(
MIL_ID DisplayId, //in
MIL_INT64 ControlType, //in
MIL_DOUBLE ControlValue //in
)
Description

This function allows you to control the specified MIL display setting.

Note that when using a C compiler (not a C++ or other compiler) in 64-bit mode, MdispControl() internally calls the MIL_INT64 version of this function (MdispControlInt64()). If you need to pass floating-point values, call the MIL_INT64 version of this function (MdispControlDouble()).
Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see which MIL system’s documentation you should use in its place and any possible differences.
Parameters
This function is not supported on the selected boards.
This function reference has not been updated for the selected MIL system. To show the content of this page, choose a second MIL system; refer to the MIL system's release note to see which MIL system’s documentation to choose and any possible differences.
Parameters
DisplayId

Specifies the identifier of the target display.

ControlType

Specifies the type of display setting to control. The control types for windowed displays can control the default MIL or user-specified window of the display (MdispSelect() or MdispSelectWindow()).

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

ControlValue

Specifies the new value to assign to the display setting specified by the ControlType parameter.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

Unless otherwise specified, the following ControlType and corresponding ControlValue parameter settings are available for all types of displays.

Click to summarize M_ASSOCIATED_GRAPHIC_LIST_ID

Sets the 2D graphics list to associate with the display. Only one 2D graphics list can be associated with the display at a time. If you associate a 2D graphics list with a display that already has been associated with one, the previous 2D graphics list is disassociated from the display and the new one is associated. INQ

Click to summarize MIL 2D graphics list identifier

Specifies the identifier of the 2D graphics list to associate with the display. The 2D graphics list must have been previously allocated using MgraAllocList(). In this case, the vector-based graphics, contained within the 2D graphics list, will be used to annotate the display non-destructively.

By default, modifications to the graphics within the list (added, deleted, or altered graphics) will be immediately reflected in the non-destructive annotation of the display. To change this behavior, use M_UPDATE_GRAPHIC_LIST.

To release the 2D graphics list from memory, use MgraFree(). If the associated 2D graphics list is freed, it is automatically disassociated from the display.

Click to summarize M_GRAPHIC_LIST_INTERACTIVE

Sets whether a user can interactively modify the graphics in the 2D graphics list associated with the display. Modifications to the graphics in the list include moving, resizing, and rotating.

The user interacts with the graphics using the mouse. Clicking on a graphic selects it, which causes the graphic to be surrounded with a selection box. The selection box has handles around it that can be dragged to resize, rotate, or move the graphic. The user can select multiple graphics by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on each graphic. New graphics can be added to the 2D graphics list interactively using MgraInteractive().

You can restrict the type of interactions the user can have using MgraControl() or MgraControlList(). INQ

Once enabled, use MdispInquire() with the M_OVERLAY_ID inquire type to determine the MIL identifier of the overlay buffer. Note that once created, the overlay buffer is like any other image buffer. That is, you can perform operations on it as you would on a normal buffer (except for grabbing). INQ

Click to summarize M_UPDATE_RATE_DIVIDER

Sets after how many buffer modifications to update the display, regardless of the time lapsed. For example, if you set M_UPDATE_RATE_DIVIDER to 10, one out of every 10 buffer modifications will cause a display update. If fewer than the specified number of buffer modifications occur, the display is not updated. The display is only updated with the last buffer modification. This control type is useful when performing a continuous grab.

If the display is allocated on a DMIL remote system but displayed on the master computer, another mechanism is also available to limit the number of display updates. You can set an upper limit to the number of display updates to perform per second, using M_UPDATE_RATE_MAX. In this case, updates of modified areas of the buffer are accumulated into one update between transmissions. INQ

This control type allows you to serialize paint messages sent to update the display. When the display uses a user-defined window, one paint message can interrupt another. This can cause deadlock if, for example, you set up an event handler for the paint message which tries to update the image buffer selected on the display. This will cause another paint message to be called to update the display. This results in the paint message recursively calling itself, causing a deadlock. To solve this problem M_UPDATE_SYNCHRONIZATION can be set to enforce the serialization of paint messages.

(summarize)
Click to summarize M_DISABLE

Specifies to send display updates in synchronous mode. In synchronous mode, the display is updated after each modification to the displayed image buffer (or the overlay buffer), and the application waits for the data to be transferred to the display before continuing. When an image, located on a remote computer, is displayed on the master computer, the update time can significantly slow your application.

Click to summarize M_ENABLE

Specifies that data will be sent asynchronously.

You might need to use this compression type, for example, when there are fine details in your image or overlay buffer.

Remarks
  • [MIL-Lite]
    MIL-Lite does not support displaying a 32-bit image buffer in a display that has its M_VIEW_MODE control type set to M_AUTO_SCALE, unless you have purchased the MIL Image Analysis license.
  • [MIL-Lite]
    Note that during development and at runtime, compression support requires the presence of a MIL license that grants access to the compression/decompression package. This access is only granted by default with the development license dongle for the full version of MIL. In other cases, you must purchase access to this package separately.
