I'm sure this has been covered but I can't seem to find it.

I am using Gscreen Industrial Lathe on Version 2.7.14

What do I need to edit in order to see more (or less) columns in the tool table?

Thank you
Kent

there are python commands to force column visibility:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/gui/gladevcp.html#gladevcp:tooledit

Which would need to be added to a custom handler file.
Can you be specific about what you want to show/hide? Normaly used columns should automatically show.

I want to display the "U" and "W" columns preferably right after the "X" and "Z" columns.

I think I would like to not display a couple other columns also.

I can edit the python file if you can point me towards its location in wheezy 2.7.14

[widget name].set_visible("ijq",False)
tooltable = widgetname, you can look for the exact name in the gladevcp file, also opened in text editor geany if you have no glade install.

For example :
self.tooltable.set_visible(x,y,True)
self.tooltable.set_visible(u,v,w,False)

Or it can be :
tooltable.set_visible(x,y,True)
tooltable.set_visible(u,v,w,False)

Depending on how the gscreen (lathe) python file is constructed.
So you need to edit your current gscreen python file, can be located at : usr/share/linuxcnc.. depending of your install.

Good luck !

You need to copy the file 'industrial_handler.py' from system to your configuration folder.
I bet you are using an installed version of linuxcnc so it should be in something like:
/usr/share/gscreen/skins/industrial/industrial_handler.py

After coping that file to your config file, gscreen will use it instead of the original, so if you edit it, you can change the behavior.

Then in the copied handler file look for the function: def initialize_widgets(self):

look for the line:
        self.widgets.tooledit1.set_font("sans 18")
then under that add:
        self.widgets.tooledit1.set_visible('uw',True)
