shouldn't be in cam_align.py
also can you post the output of:
qtvcp --help

Forget above post, I saved the files using save link to and that ended up as html files not ui and py. My bad.
So: Hurray! It works!
I am on 2.8.4 and it works using - o option:
"EMBED_TAB_COMMAND= halcmd loadusr -Wn qtvcp_embed qtvcp -d -c qtvcp_embed -x {XID} -o size=1200,900 cam_align"
Attached screenshot shows the resized window.
As you can see, the camera canvas has been resized using the mouse. You can decrease the camera picture using the lower right hand handle. You can also increase the camera picture, but then it is cropped to the size of the set canvas size (1200x900). once you release the mouse handle upon increasing the camera picture above the canvas size, you cannot grab it again to resize it.
Knowing this, I will not touch it once it is set to the correct size.
Chris: Thanks a ton!

Would it be possible to set angular resolution in ini as well? If not, where in source?

Currently you can not from the ini.
I could add that.
What are you looking to set it to by the way?

I thought of setting it to 0.1°. If you check the attached two screenshots of my test setup, you might recognise, the angle is close to 348.5 and a bit further away of 348.0.
An arbitrary value in ini would just about be perfect

I forgot that you can cycle through rotation increments or 5, 1, 0.5 and 0.1 degrees by clicking the middle mouse (or left and right together) button.
I did commit changes to 2.9 to allow setting the rotation increment with the INI with -o rotincr=.2
Also now displays the current rotation increment

Tried to "cycle through rotation increments or 5, 1, 0.5 and 0.1 degrees by clicking the middle mouse (or left and right together) button". Sounds surrealistic! I have a logitech mx master. No combination seems to trigger resolution change.
I'll try again tomorrow. I do hope I can get the 2.9 stuff into my 2.8.4 setup. Anyway: I'll be reporting what I find.
Thanks a ton anyway!

Ahh yes 2.8.4 doesn't have the cycling code.
You probably can just copy the 2.9 camview.py into 2.8.4, i don;t think it uses any new code.
Here is the latest 2.9 code:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.9/li...ts/camview_widget.py
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.8/sh...cam_align_handler.py

Since you added the code for setting the windows size in the ini file, I have been thinking whether or not it is a good idea to have the automatic resizing or not. Here is my reasoning, why I would prefer the fixed ini way:
The cameras will have a defined resolution like 1920x1080. The tab canvas size is not related at all to the the camera resolution. In attached screenshot you can see a manually resized cam_align window. Instead of 1920x1080 the window is now something like 100x800. Still the rotated cross hairs internal angle remains at 90°. The reading now is 314° where it should be in between 348.0 and 348.5°. Also the red circle remains round and is limited to the canvas size of the cam_align window. The behavior of circle and cross hairs is correct imho. I fine tuned the original size to match the red circle as good as possible to the circle on the paper. This aspect ratio should be kept, in order to make use of optical alignment. So, if automatic resizing is any good, it should keep the aspect ratio, else angular readings and optical centering could become obsolete.
And: Where to set this aspect ratio, if not in the ini file?

Ideally the tab would resize automatically.
In pyqt4 it worked pretty well. pyqt5 not so much.
I could make the default size settable from the INI when loading I think, if that would help.

Did the following:
started linuxcnc and got a pthon erro, see attached screen shot and errortext below:
Guess, that's because 2.9 is based on python 3 and 2.8.3 is still on 2.7. I got:
