title: How to make a LabVIEW knob/dial with a custom needle?
body: <p>I want to customize a knob/dial such that its needle would be perpendicular to the default orientation:</p>

  <p>When customizing LabVIEW controls it is possible to import custom images, but in the case of a knob/dial, where the animation involves rotation, simply importing a custom image doesn't work: the imported image does not rotate at all.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make a custom knob/dial with a different needle?</p>
