Getting a .jpg to update itself - possible?
Discussion
Hi all,
Curtrently doing something for work involving a Head-up Display and obiously would like the HUD to update when certain actions occur. I want to be able to pull the HUD information from a jpeg (because that's the only format the program supports) and obviously need this jpeg to update itself.
Is there anyway either through using a third party piece of software or even making a script (I have close to zero experience coding) that would cause a .jpeg file to update itself?

I can get the HUD to refresh itself - it's basically a rediculously high level programming language, so really application specific, but I can get it to unload then reload the jpeg.
All of the codes in the program are in xml, but i don't suppose that really helps as the way the program interprets the xml is native to it.
What would be the best way to do it if it wasn't time based? If it were to be keyboard, or touch activated... I take it it'd need some sort of third party "invisible grid" to be laid over the program window and then update jpegs upon certain parts being touched - unless there's a way of getting a programs inputs to correspond to an process outside of the program???
Thanks for your suggestions so far!
P.S Just to make this all a bit clearer, the program I'm using is called Metaio Unifeye, it's an Augmented Reality developer suite. Problem is, is that it's quite limiting in what you can and can't do with it, so I'm looking for ways around things they haven't provided.
