Re: LabVIEW vs C/C++

C/C++ is supported through the WPI Library, as Francis said. It's important to note, though, the C++ support is lagging Labview in some areas. Also, Labview has a vision assistant wizard to help you set up your vision processing algorithms, which you can then directly copy into a Labview program.

Finally, the Labview and C++ environments aren't compatible. If you write code in C++, you won't be able to directly debug it in Labview, and vice versa. You CAN use C++ library calls in Labview to a limited extent, but I would recommend against trying a hybrid approach where you do most of your coding in C++ and call it from a Labview wrapper.
