Changing "Spindle Override" label text was created by stirra
This should be an easy thing, but my facility with tk is not great. I want to change the text of the spindle override widget without editing the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtvcp/plugins/status_label_plugin.py file where it is set up in the first place. I have successfully changed text of the .pane.top.tabs.fmanual.spindlel label widget using the tk call shown in the Axis documentation:
root_window.tk.call('setup_widget_accel', '.pane.top.tabs.fmanual.spindlel','Wire Voltage')
This does not work for the tkinter.Scale widget spinoverride or spinoverridef. I'm sure I'm missing some simple step. Is there a good set of documentation for the tcl/tk code interface for working with widgets?
Thanks again,
-- Ralph

i dont think anythign you change in qtvcp will change axis.
which one are you trying to set? the one in the manual tab or the one beside the sider?
"are there good docs?"
only what Phil has made for the axis docs, otherwise it gets rather confusing because we are passing tcl/tk as strings through python, so its not tkinter, and its not just tcltk
this is the best site, as well as using plasmac2 config as an example
www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/label.htm

here is my shitty one, but its got good references

The second was what I wanted. I just needed spinoverride.l rather than just spinoverride .
The foam cutter I'm working on is getting close to functionality.
Thanks again.
