qtvismach, a axis toolpath

I should have explained more.
point = [wx, wy, wz]
if not self.plotdata or point != self.plotdata[-1]:
self.plotdata.append(point)
This adds a plot point. We would need to change it to also add color.

point = [wx, wy, wz,color]
or maybe better:
self.plotdata.append([point, color])

then later in the file:
#GL.glColor3f(1.0, 0.5, 0.5)

GL.glBegin(GL.GL_LINE_STRIP)
for p,c in self.plotdata:
GL.glColor3f(*c)
GL.glVertex3f(*p)
GL.glEnd()

a few other initialization and clearing details to follow up. but that might work.

Ok I pushed some work on this.

vismach_mill_xyz should show case it.

in your vismach script you need to add:
on top:
and in the Window class:

The coloring of the movements works very well, that's what I wanted, thanks for another good job.

In my simulation, the "myhud" panel would be more to my liking in the upper right corner. How can I set this up?

It's hard coded to the left.
in halHud/hud draw() function defines it.

I'll look into it when I can.

pushed to master:

myHud.display_on_right()

Leme know if there is any problem.

Works very well, no problems.
Thanks

There is one problem after the last changes.

The tool trace disappears after 30 minutes.

It looks like the tool trace is constantly being saved, even though the machine and simulation are not making any movement. I think it is constantly saving to some buffer which, when filled, deletes the oldest content.

The screen in vismach is refreshed every 100ms, if I decrease this value, the trace will disappear earlier than 30 minutes.

Hi Chris

Have you looked at the problem I wrote about earlier?

I see the basic problem.
The original vismach updates every 100ms but only if something changes.
Qtvcp updates every 100 ms no matter what.

I'm looking into what library options there are to correct this.
In the mean time, you can increase the buffer in qt_vismach.py
look for:
self.plotlen = 16000

Or just pull again - I got it fixed.
