hmm if it was slim and long in addition to the axis positions, tool information, current coordinate system, offsets for current coordinate system and G92 to name a few off the top of my head. I really like the back plot to be clean...

Thanks

Might I suggest calling the main window window1 (the default name) rather then ugly camelcase MainWindow :)

Then if a noobie forgets to name the window the panel will still load. It's one of those things easy to miss but hard to find (when you don't know any better !

John I just love your tutorials !
Your work here will help push us to more users - its the kinda doc work we really need.

yes I like the clean back plot too. In Gscreen the DRO, including offsets can be turned on and off.
If you are using the gscreen branch you could too.
to see the extra options in the glade editor remember to run the glade editor from a terminal after issuing thr RIP script.

oh I never exposed show offsets to the glade editor you must issue
gremlin.show_offsets = True
then you'll see the current offsets.

your command will be slightly different based on how you reference gremlin and what you called it.
and of course this is only possible on the gscreen branch

To reference widgets like so (like TOUCHY does):

self.builder.get_widget("hal_gremlin1").show_offsets = True

You DO need the builder as self.builder

That's a good idea. I'll change it now before I forget.

Thanks
