I like that, especially being able to specify the image file. I was trying to stay compatible with existing NGCGUI subs, but it seems that not many people use them anyway, and it's not much work to convert to your format.
Yes the svg file format makes it compact and resizable.
It also makes it not much work to add the capability to preexisting Owords files and without breaking the oword subroutine from being used natively.
Again, it would be nice if all screens could use the same format - so they are all compatible. This was my initial idea which seemed to work nicely.
this is fantastic! but oh how I wish we were all working on the same problems together, we could have been done by now with a mill, lathe, plasma gui with crazy awesome features!
I am solely responsible for the fragmentation of efforts on the PyQt based VCP projects. I had no intention of starting a "competing" project, but mostly due to poor communication on my part that is what happened. I trust that the projects have different enough goals that they will both be valuable additions to LinuxCNC.

Does it use NGCGUI style subs?
I wrote a parser for NGCGUI subs that will pull in values from widgets in a QMainWindow that have an objectName that match the sub variable names, and pass them as arguments when the sub is called ...
Cheers,

I use NGCGUI subs a lot for my lathe and a bit for my plasma and hmm also on my knee mill.
