GMoccaPy doesn't fit in 1024x768 resolution

Hi Nobert,

Sent the last week playing around with gmoccapy, ngcgui, Andys Lathe macros (haven't got Features installed yet). I relly like the gmoccapy interface. Thanks for sharing that.

It looks like the default gmoccapy window is about 1000x768. Since debian has tool bar across the top of about 20 pixels, gmoccapy doesn't quite fit on my 1024x768 15" screen.

how can I either:
1/ remove the debian tool bar (F11 for a web browser)
2/ resize gmoccapy to about 1024x740 to fit the standard screen size?

Gmoccapy has a settings page, there you can configure the display types and sizes.

Please read the manual for details.

Sorry about that. I had been in there and changed the resolution, but hadn't noticed the "Full Screen" option.

Different question, which lathe canned cycles generator is easiest to install in gmoccapy?
1/ NCGgui
2/ Features - Lathe
3/ Andy's Lathe MAcros?
4/ None are really working with gmoccapy?

I don't know the answer to the question, but my lathe macros tabs are fixed-size and are likely not to fit anything other than Axis on my particular monitor.
I have tried to figure out how to make the tabs re-size properly, but haven't made much progress.

All should work with gmoccapy, but as Andy mentioned, you may need to adapt some stuff.
I had no problems with features, not tested Andy's part nor NCGui, as I do use my own code, just as macros integrated in the MDI page, or some remapped code. But that part of the code, I am not willing to share, as it contains some major brain stuff and is not usable without proper documentation.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I used to use TurboCNC, and it had a very simple G77 canned cycle. Amazing how much lathe work that one simple cycle could cover.

G77 Turning/Boring/Milling Cycle
Function: Turning with multiple passes, infeeding by an amount set by the I word.
Syntax: G77 [repetitive axis] [infeed axis] [feed per pass] [optional feed rate]
Example:
G77 Z-1.250 X0.250 I0.050 F5.0

Notes:
The order of the operands defines the motion. The back-and-forth action will occur from the current position of the first axis on the line to the position specified. The second axis called out will eventually reach the position specified by feeding in increments of I each pass.
The sign of I is unimportant. Always use I for the infeed, no matter what other axes are being used.
Infeed is applied to the second axis on the line. Creative use of this command can be made for fly cutting / slab-milling or cutting deep blind slots on mills or trimming the edges of stock.
After each pass, the control "backs off" by 1 1/2 times the infeed. So if you're boring, make sure you have enough clearance for the bar.
If the infeed doesn't divide into an even number of passes, a small finishing pass will be taken.


I need to reactivate my old 7x lathe conversion and use it to try out different GUI's and see which works best for me.
