There is in G-code function "(MSG, information to say)" that outputs text in down right corner. But this information is hard to see.

Does there any g-code function to output text in new small window at the center of the screen?

The display of MSG is dependent on the chosen screen.
AFAIK none other then Gscreen have any options for display.
Gscreen allows messages using desktop notify or a status line.
Gmoccapy displays messages in a message window that is larger then a status line.
AXIS has no options.

Gmoccapy allows the cration of user messages, that can be displayed in an own popup window. The can be opened through hal pin and that ones can be connected to difgital io and switched from gcode.

I believe he was asking about messages coming from the motion controller and standard gcode messages.
Does Gmoccapy have other options beside the standard pop up Window for these?

If you are talking of user messages Gscreen can do those - but I don't believe with as many options as Gmoccapy.
(specifically switch from Gcode - I don't really know what that is)

and AXIS has no user message system that I know of.

Thanks for your answers. I will Look Gmoccappy more detailed.

As for my question, I asked about some clear operator informating.
For Example I can write in G-code such message
(MSG, Use that tool and rotate had at such degree),
And operator must see this 100% and make all what is needed.

Look at hal_manualtoolchange for one way to do this.

But it might be easier to use a User M-code (M100 - M199) that calls a Python script (I _think_ you can pass parameters to a user M-code)

(I have a feeling that I have done this once, but can't find it)

The big problem when dealing with messages coming from linuxcnc it's self is, only ONE mechanism can be used at a time reliably.
messages are destroyed when read so if you have two components reading them it's a race condition.
A better system would be a component that reads messages and publishes them to any component registered.
For instance GObject messages.
It would be nice to somehow tie that in to HAL component messages too but that would be even harder.

I know, that linuxcnc is opensource, and I can do with it what ever I want, but unfortunataly I'm very bad programmer and hardly will program sotmething.
