Cool!

What kind of lathe do you have?

There are a bunch of lathe subroutines here to try out.

If you have any questions just start a new topic on it here.

Hello John,

Thats great, good to have all the info here in one place on the forum.

Should...

NGCGUI_SUBFILE = ""

be added to the list of subfiles to add the custom tab?

Now open your ini file and add the following to the [DISPLAY] section.

USER_COMMAND_FILE = tkapp.py
TKAPP = ngcgui_app.tcl
NGCGUI = ngcgui.tcl
NGCGUI_FONT = Courier -10 normal
NGCGUI_PREAMBLE = ./subroutines/in_std.ngc
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = ./subroutines/simp.ngc
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = ./subroutines/iquad.ngc
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = ./subroutines/gosper.ngc

NGCGUI_SUBFILE = ""

Hi Rick,

It can be if you want it. I was just trying to get the minimal up and going but that is a good addition even if I don't know exactly what it does ATM.
