Truning screen 90 degree

Would like to use gmoccapy screen on a screen turned 90 dregree, ( this fits more easy into my machine) but i'll lose some butons on the right of the gmoccapy screen.
I can adjust the height of the screen, but the width seems not to be adjustable, is there a solution for this?


Marius

You can adjust both, height and width, but the min resolution is 979 x 750 Pixel, so your screen must have at least this dimentions.

If you like, you can also modify the gmoccapy.glade file and move the widgets around to fit your needs. Do not delete or rename widgets and you should not get problems.

Thks Norbert, obvious the width is not sufficient, so I'll try to play with the glade file.

Hi after adding some H-boxes and V-boxes on the original gymoccapy.glade, and adding some "loose buttons" to make the gmoccapy screen fit my portrait screen, everything worked out fine, until i had to update the computer.
Now even when i load the original "gmoccapy.glade" file into my glade-gtk2 program, and not changing anything, but just save it back to the gmoccapy file, i get an error message, ( see attachement)
Will this be due to the gmoccapy update, or has this to do with the glad-gtk2?

Marius

It looks like you have mixed gmoccapy 1.XX stuff with gmoccapy 2.XX code. The error says, that the glade file does ot contain the combi dro 5 widget! That widget is part of gmoccapy 2.Xx, being part of master. May be you used a glade file from 2.7 release?

Norbert

you were right on that, as i had tested the glade-gtk2 also on an other machine, and have used that glade file, but now have updated linuxcnc to latest version 2.8 master, have used the gmoccapy.glade file from /usr/share/gmoccapy ,have loaded this file into glade-gtk2, and have saved it back to the gmoccapy file, and got the error as in the attachement
only difference i see is DRO 4 line 720 instead of DRO5 line 721,
So i expect to have linux 2.8 master, an also gmoccapy version 2.##, as if i use the original gmoccapy.glade, i get the 2.## screen .with no error, the error shows as i put the file through the glade-gtk2 program


Marius

You can not mix both releases! The glade file only has some changes in names and widgets, but the main python file and libs has very relevant changes.

The shown release number is hard coded in gmoccapy.py file,not in the glade file.

Norbert

Understand, so i use the same releases, as they come with the same package when updating linuxcnc 2.8 master,
still when i try to edit the gmoccapy.glade file, he will not accept the changes,I just use the gmoccapy.glade file from the gmoccapy folder, load it to the glade-gtk2 program, and save it again to the same folder,


Marius

Ok, i am sure you do not start glade from rip environment.
If you start it from menu, some libs will not be availiable.

You do not get an error, but the glade file will be destroyed.

Please use diff to check the differences.

Have created a rip environment, and have started glade-gtk2 from linuxcnc.dev , loaded the gmoccapy.glade file from usr/share/gmoccapy, saved it to documents ( as i don't have write permision on gmoccapy, turned on sudo thunar, to copy the file into the gmoccapy file , same error
