Setup Sheet as Embedded Tab was created by Wischi
Hello,

I found this neat little feature for qtpyvcp that displays a html setup sheet from CAM as a tab in the gui. Would this be possible in gmoccapy using the embedded tab or the User tab? How could it be done? Sadly I don't have any experience with glade or python yet. Maybe this would be a good project to get into it?

A setup sheet display is a great idea.

Years ago I modified gmoccapy to have:
A Gcode manual tab
Active GCodes named - e.g G64 showed as "G64 Path Blending" or G61 showed as "G61 Exact Stop"

But I couldn't keep up with gmocappy updates (gcode naming changed the gmocappy main page, was not just a tab) so gave up on my mods.

This would also be nice. Reminds me of the Siemens 840 where there is a 'i" icon in the corner and when you click on it you get a whole gcode manual with descriptions.

Also showing a list of installed ocode macros could be useful.

@Wischi so basically a tab that shows a HTML page? Should be a big thing. The question is only where to define the path.

When was that? (On which gmoccapy version switch you gave up?)
Maybe I can help you if you have the old code and can post it here.

@HansU

Yes.

Or maybe also pdf to be more compatible with other CAM software? Fusion 360 outputs html

The qtpyvcp Version looks for a .html file with the same Name as the loaded .ngc file

I have no memory of how I got to this solution - may have been help from someone here (I know zero python).

Qtdragon has a setup page that displays an optional PDF/HTML file.
If you name the PDF/HTML the same as the NGC file then they will both be loaded.
There is also a basic HTML writer included.
I had plans for easy ways to add pics and the tooltable but I don't think <i finished them.

It could probably be written as a qtvcp panel that could be embedded in other screens.
What Info does it need to display?
From memory I believe a user asked for it because some programs already create a PDF or HTML page.

Well I got something. Sort of   mostly copy and paste from other scripts, definitely have to learn python at some point. Right now you have to press a button to load a .html file with the same name, in the same dir as the .ngc file, no check if files exist yet. Is there anyway to do this automatic? I have read about event handlers but running it in the background seems kind of a waste. Maybe update it when the tab gets activated (clicked on) ?

I have attached the code and glade file. The required ini config is included in the .py file. Please comment on the script and what could be done better! When you start gmoccapy there is always a small windows that appears and then disappers quickly, how can that be fixed?

The most elegant way would be to load this on a file-load event. signal "file-loaded", see linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/gstat.html.
But if I remember correctly this doesn't work with GladeVCP unfortunately. Therfore the HTML widget must be part of Gmoccapy.

What does this window contain?

The sample from chapter 2.2 works in gmocappy. But i was thinking it might be better to be able to select a file instead of loading it from the .ngc file. Maybe you are running OP1 and want to look at the setup for OP2.

I created a simple webbrowser like interface, with home dir / back / forward / load file from .ngc / zoom functions.
The file browser is just the default that comes up when you open a folder with file://
Kinda works alright actually, except that the mouse wheel scrolling does not work, maybe the touchscreen will work still have to try it on the real machine.

What does this window contain?


It is blank but has the window title "setup_sheet", same as the .py and .glade file. My guess would be that it gets initialized and when it is done it will be pushed into the embedded tab.
