Actually i try to include (difficult to understand) to my lathe config something similar done by andypugh for excentric turning (oval + polygon).
I'm waiting for other reply lol

On a version of Linuxcnc 2.8 and above, there will be a number of sims installed on your system you can play with using external offsets. Pretty sure that is what Andy used here to offset the axis based on the spindle position.

So no gcode for this right?
If that is the case a M code to turn it on and off would be handy.

I see you speak about lathe, did you think your actual .comp can work with lathe ? Can you think about including oval/eccentric ?
I will like to do a gladevcp panel like Andy lathe-macro for polygon/oval/eccentric but for now this is less than a beta. (started without your comp)
EMBED_TAB_NAME = Polygon/Oval
EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = ntb_preview
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = gladevcp -u ./python/lathpolygonhandler.py -x {XID} ./lathepolygonmacro-fr-numpad.ui
