Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

This really looks very good. I tried to use the size options on the settings / tools page but it would seem to be ignored. I have a 1024 x 768 display but the bottom of the screen is never visible so I tried to resize the screen to fit. As I said, it seems to be ignored.

Halo Marius,

I see the problem!
At the moment the smalest size is 979 x 782 Pixel and in hight you got only 768, that is why the bottom is cut off.

I will see if I can reduce the hight to 768. It is fix coded at the moment, so that the GUI will not be to small to show all widgets.

Please give me some time, to see what I can do.

Marius'm using gmoccapy and is pretty good, though Norbert is improving it much more ... look had your same problem ...

The solution I found was gmoccapy.glade open the file, choose 'windows1, and look in "Commons", and there you will appear "height request" and choose 650,

and ready you will see only good in fullscreen

Hi Norbert,
I think that most common screens these days are set to 1024 x 768. There are other resolutions but most of them seem to use the 768 size. The screens that are more square normally will provide 1024 x 1024 or better. It makes no sense at all.

Jorge,
I am waiting for my touch screen to arrive and then I will set it to that screen size. Thanks for the info though.

Hallo Jorge,

I do think, you must change some lines in gmoccapy_handler too, because strating the screen will set the screen size to default.
Do you use realy the latest version?

I will change the default size on this weekend, I do hope to get time!

Norbert,

I had the same problem of Marius, when he felt fullscreen, did not open completely.

I did that and it worked perfect. i'm using Gmoccapy 0.9.3, I is working perfect, with some changes as you noticed.

1) change the position of the tool table.
2) remove the macros
3) change the starting position of the button home_all
4) add keyboard functions with the Control key. (F3 home) (F9 = manual) (F10 = mdi) (F11 = auto) (F12 = tooltable) (Ctrl_R = run) ("Escape" = stop program) etc.
5) Change the run-from-line (the copy of GScreen of Cmorley) for my need.
6) Add some buttons for my machine, jog turret, turret home, cycle time and local time.


Hi marius,

Not as fancy, but functional.



Please, How do you add NGCGUI?

Thanks for all your help.

NGCGUI is not embeddable nor does it use GTK widgets, which means it can not be 'embedded' into Gmoccapy or Gscreen.
There was some work done on a GTK styled NGCGUI but I'm not sure what is going on with it.
I emailed the author about some issues but never got anything back.

Chris,
Will we have a way to do NGCGUI type stuff with Gscreen or gmoccapy? Thinks like wizards or code to do repetitive tasks like circular bolt patterns and the like. You know, all the nice things for a mill or lathe.
