Embed application in Axis

Hello,

I really want to know wether it is possible to integrate an application into an Axis tab ?

I wanted to integrate a simple cad cam Programm into an Axis tab.

Thank you for your answers

Hi

See this

wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Axis_Embed_Video

Yes you can, but only if the application supports embedding in the same way that mplayer, camview, rxvt etc do.

It is unlikely that any CAD program will do this however, they will be designed as a standalone GUI.

Have a look at the Axis code to see how embedded widgets are dealt with

Okay thank you !

I think I`ll solve it on a different way

I installed the Cad Cam programme (gsimple) which is freeware within wine.
I open it with a user defined Mcode which is called with a Mdi command tied to a Pyvcp button.

I think the best way to use this Cad Cam programme in Axis is to place it over the Gremlin plot screen.

To do so I have to open the programme with a terminal command called with the user defined Mcode.

But the problem is I have to open it at a specific windowsize at a specific window position with a terminal command or a sript.

Has somedy got an idea how to do that ?

Thank you !

This is one way
stackoverflow.com/questions/288512/resiz...-a-set-size-in-linux

Terminals have their own startup parameters quite often which allow you to specify size

This is another way

Thank you I'll try this out!

I'll post a picture with the result and make a little video
