 * Larry has asked me to make a LABView VI that takes photos out of a file and loads them all to LABView
 * It also must display said photos
 * After many, many attempts, I currently have a version that does what I think he wants (feedback to follow)
 * 1) it will open a directory and list everything that is in it
 * 2) it will then load photos into LABView (currently set to look for .tif and .png)
 * 3) the photos are in an array
 * 4) if the file is not a photo, a blank will be created in the array, and then deleted afterwards
 * 5) i can pick out a piece of the array and look at it
 * The problems that it has are:
 * 1) case sensitivity: .Tif files and .tif files or .png .Png .PNG must all be coded for separately, more annoying than troublesome.
 * 2) display: currently only displays one photo at a time, and you must rerun the entire program to see a new photo
 * possible fix by turning the photos into a pixel array
 * The VI uses NI Vision Assistant to deal with the photos themselves
 * I was messing around with the pixel thing that Koch had suggested
 * With a single photo, I can turn the pic into a compressed array, take that array and turn it into a photo again and then display it
 * It worked, but the photo is blue and white instead of black and white
