A good reason: I want to learn more about OpenGL

and as I think I will need a more complex but customized GUI in the future, this project is a nice start.

The 4x20 a bit too minimal. But nice example code to look at. What do you mean with you question the approach?
Was there a good option to use for a press brake?

I am currently implementing homing and jogging in a HAL component. So re-inventing the wheel in many ways, these (and general axis motion to set positions) are already-solved problems. I am thinking that finding a way to add press-brake motions by foot-pedal to a conventional config would maybe have been better.

Hi Chris,

with your hints I could solve most of my questions. I have just one remaining. How to get the preview data of the interpreter of a ngc file?
I couldn't find the interface to plan and preview a file. Could you give me some hint?

if you look at lib/python/gremlin.py 's function load_preview()

This loads the program using a separate interpreter that is used for display only.
It gets pretty hazy from there and you need to follow the code.
