Changing the openGL colors in the Axis GUI

It is nice to meet you.

I just do not know the proper procedure for packaging up the changes I made and releasing them. I did fork the Axis program into Praxis (Practical Axis) on my OS, but again there are files linked all over the place, and trying to unravel it was somewhat complicated. For instance, the scrollbars are tied into TKTCL parts, some dialogue windows are tied into certain pymodules, etc. Spaghetti...At the time, I was very surprised I couldn't find a block diagram of how the program actually functioned.

It just isn't a simple binary package that one can download and install. Really wish was it was though, but I don't have that knowledge and or time. This is what always bugged me about Linux in general, dependencies... Or maybe I am just naive in this regard.

I know other people would like to try this interface, but I would need some guidance as to how to proceed.

Maybe just post the Axis.tcl and axis.py files? Did you alter anything else?

I did play a bit with the tcl file... not easy if you don't know tcl.

One thing I can't understand is how come we don't have a GoToZero button under axis.

It would be amazing if LCNC had a screen editor like Mach3/4 have.. easy to do screen edits and very powerful.

Hi Cheech,

Yes, I modified other files that are linked into the main axis program. One of these days I will sit down and document everything I have done much more thoroughly, I just haven't had the time lately.

A GoToZero button would be quite trivial to hard code in, but you can just type the MDI command G0 X0 Y0. When I parse my CAD tool paths into G-code, I wrote my custom parser so that it would just go to zero (home) on the last line of my g-code file.

God job my friend. I am waiting your tutorial

But for now I need to learn sth. from you.

I need to change place and the size of the G-Code viewer (source view) part of axis GUI.

Can you help me about this issue ????

Thanks very much! I want to ask that what is the meaning of this parameters you list ?
