pyngcgui

great look forward to a release

yes if you could send it over John Thanks

patch and instructions for rip build as a test branch (v2.5_branch) are at:

www.panix.com/~dgarrett/pyngcgui/

What does this have not have? Benifits over current GUI's?

this is not an operator screen.
It's for making a Gcode program by chaining together a bunch of smaller building block programs.

you enter the information by filling in data on a screen, like filling in a questionnaire.

I briefly tried this out.
I have not ever use ngcgui before.

I need a help button. first thing I thought was what is XYZ for? what's a gosper ?

on the programming side:
I think the popup keyboard should also be a gladevcp widget - very handy.
But It's going to break fullscreen GUIs -ask me how I know I have this same problem with Gscreen.
When the dialog pops it will make the top and bottom bars show.
There are some specific things that can be done to fix that but there may be some drawbacks too - I'm researching.

I would suggest that in your sample TOUCHY config you add a gladeVCP panel that has a HAL_gremlin.
then you can see what you made before you run it.

Very nice work !

Chris ,
can this be added to gscreen easily ?
