Image display to smartDashboard.

Have you looked into Roborealm? This resource was distributed in the KOP this year, with a link to the download and a license key. I haven't done much work with it myself, but my understanding is that it will help you do exactly what you are trying to do.

Honestly, I checked it out and using it would be more complicated and difficult, for us at least. We already have an image and all of the things we need to draw the rectangle. We just need to draw it and get it to the smartDashoard. So do I have confirmation that I will have to write my own widget.

We did this last year, we modified the SquareTrackerExtension from the smartdashboard svn repository to have it draw polygons recognized by our vision code: source

The usual image processing additions are in processImage() (which did the bounding boxes) and then the UI additions are in paintComponent(). The additions were mainly some debug text and the ability to click and select polygons for the targeting system.

I'm a bit unfamiliar with the the 2013 vision code, but if it's at all similar this could help out a bit.

I started a new thread about this but I'm going to ask it here as I have not gotten any replies on said thread. Does anyone have GOOD documentation on how network tables works? The java docs don't count. I mean like a PDF.
