LinuxCNC Features - a kind of NGCGUI

Sorry, have you no comments to

i just cloned the repo and after starting linuxcnc / gmoccapy I entered ./features --catalog /path to lathe.xml --ini /home/path to ini, I get a list of bugs, that INI files could not be found, because they are searched in subfolder draw. That Folder does not exist, I needed to rename the folder draw-old-delete-later to get rid of the mistakes., but still some ini files are not found, like lathe-multipass.ini, array.ini and circular-aray.ini, as the are not in the lathe folder.

I'm not sure about last version, I think than those ini have been moved to another folder.... probably they should be removed from the catalog...
The slowest thing is blur which is used for shadows...

Hi Nick,

I did not have much time lately to work on the new version, however I completed debugging (only one bug I could not find a work around).

I updated most of my features to take advantage of the new version.



You can see an ellipse and a polygon that is pocketed.

All my features (Rectangle, circle, slots, radial slots, ellipse and polygons) can be cutted clockwise or counter-clockwise, cutted inside or pocket, outside or without compensation.

Here is the general help file (Sorry, it would not upload)

I am willing to share all my work but am not very familiar with git-hub. However I think I have an account.

What do you say about this ?

Regards
Fern

Looks great!

Where can we get it?

this is incredible to have it included when you first install linuxcnc on the machime . Some classic subrutines

I would like to try this out for my lathe. I want to run it standalone. I installed it according to the instructions in the README (from github) and it comes up. However, I have no menu at the top, and no lathe features that I can see. If I click the + button I have cutting, draw, lines, 4axis, chains, pocketing, grouping, tool, gcode, probing. "Catalog root" and "Upper level" buttons don't seem to do anything. Perhaps I just don't understand how this is supposed to work but not seeing how I can use this as shown in the video(s)....

ps: should add that I am running 2.7.0~pre6

to use lathe - you should add something like --catalog=lathe.xml:

GLADEVCP = -U --catalog=catalogs/lathe.xml features.ui
