AXIS G-code user input - can Glade do it?

gcmc:

www.vagrearg.org/content/gcmc

There are some simulator examples to help in getting started (linuxcnc >=2.6):
configs/sim/axis/ngcgui/ngcgui_gcmc.ini
configs/sim/axis/ngcgui/pyngcgui_gcmc.ini

(gcmc must be installed separately)

Thanks, DGarrett,
From the page you linked to: "Gcmc is a front-end language for generating G-code, SVG and DXF for CNC mills, lathes, laser cutters and other numerical controlled machines employing G-code, SVG or DXF. The language is a context-free grammar created to overcome the archaic format of G-code programming and aims to be more readable and understandable."
Cool! That looks worth looking into.

I design pickguards in the GIMP as overlays on scaled photos of guitars, then export the SVG files. I import those SVGs into Inkscape; it has a plugin to generate .ngc g-code from them. Then a text editor lets me put the paths in context in a gcode program. (I like XyWrite III+ from the DOS/Win world for major construction work & file comparisons, then move to Linux to cut and paste into gedit to get the line end protocol right. gedit is fine for debug editing, and its color coding of the code syntax is useful. In Win7 Wordpad's SaveAs type TXT can change Linux files back to DOS/Win line endings.)
