I like it !
You know John as a gladeVCP widgets I guess we really only need the number labels to be widgets.
Then a user is free to place them as he sees fit.

Well yes and the Y tool offset will be in the next revision. Well in the case of my lathe it doesn't have any Y offsets...
When I right click on a vertical box and add widget as top level it won't let me click on the contents I have to go to the Inspector tree thing to select a label for editing... did I miss a step?
Yea, if they can do like a vertical box and select how many they want if that is what your saying?

Don't worry about the top level thing i can adjust later.
Thinking out loud here...
no I'm saying the only thing really important is labels that display for instance x (and y and z ....) position.
What I am saying is If I make a widget like your demo then if a user wants it horizontal (like TOUCHY's) then he is outta luck.
If I make 'axis','tool offset' and 'coordinate offset' widgets which are just labels then a user can put them anyway they like.
Or we could do both.... I'll fool around a bit.

I like the idea of just having labels that display information from emc_stat or where ever it comes from. I agree that being able to build your own DRO from the EMC Widgets would be the best way to go.

Speaking of that, is there a simple way in the python to get say for example the relative X axis position and display that on a Gtk Label? Is that what emc_interface.py does somehow? If you have a template on how to do something like that the rest is cooky cutter work.
Thanks

yes in emc_interface, emc_status does the status updates (including position and offsets)
import linuxcnc is done in gscreen and passed to emc_interface.
linuxcnc is the module that exposes control and status of linuxcnc to python

Ok, I found I think the code in gscreen and changed it to my file name...
And jtgui does load up without errors
Let me see if I can find the next piece of the puzzle...

import linuxcnc
from jtgui import emc_interface
from jtgui import mdi
from jtgui import preferencesAnd jtgui does load up without errors

Hmm, does have anything to do with lib/python/gscreen???
I'd bet it does...
Well I have moved on to a new error cannot import name set_active... making progress.
