Changing "Spindle Override" label text

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?
root_window.tk.call( '.pane.top.tabs.fmanual.spindlel','configure','-text','buttbutt tab')
root_window.tk.call( '.pane.top.spinoverride.l','configure','-text','buttbutt slider')

"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
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...plasmac2/plasmac2.py

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.
