Gremlin Refresh or Reload Needed

I'm finishing up a GUI modification to Gscreen and all is great but I cant find out how to "refresh" or "redraw" the Gremlin screen. If a program is loaded without block delete activated then I enable block delete, my screen does not show the resultant tool path. The only way I can get the tool path to update and show the "block deleted" version is to load an "empty" file or another file then reload the file I'm trying to run. Is there a command for Gremlin to accomplish this ? Another approach I can try is to obtain the currently loaded file name ( which I would need help to figure out also ) then write code to load the empty file then reload the file which then does show the updated tool path.

Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There is a function in gscreen for this -as long as your glade file still has the default VCP action reload in it:
self.gscreen.reload()

or you could add a VCP action reload widget to the GLADE file and then call:
self.widgets.name_of_action_reload_widget.emit('activate')
[normally in gscreen the reload action is called hal_action_reload so:
self.widgets.hal_action_reload.emit("activate") ]

or you could call the graphic plotter (hal_gremlin widget) directly:
self.widgets.name_of_hal_gremlin.reloadfile(None)
[normally in gscreen this widget id called gremlin so:
self.widgets.gremlin.reloadfile(None) ]

HI all,
is it possible call gremlin.reloadfile from embeded tab?
for example...
EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = notebook_main
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = gladevcp -c psm-xy81 -u psm-xy81.py -x {XID} psm-xy81.glade

I need call self.widgets.gremlin.reloadfile(None) from psm-xy81.py ?

Thanks
Martin
