touchy

Chris, absolutely perfect, thank you so much, it works fine. Actually I've no MPG ready for use here, but it would be a good option. Linuxcnc and all around is for me fine learning by doig, with great pleasure Peter

thank you, looks good and for touchy it's absolutely assumed, of course.

Andi's useful hint about nice MPG - just now I've seen his impressive work on Glade LatheMacro - really amazing

may I continue from here concerning YZPoson.png
color combination in "EMC_SourceView" is not so accurate
how can we define colour properties in Glade e.g. ?

<object class="EMC_SourceView" id="hal_sourceview1">
<property name="visible">True</property>
<property name="can_focus">True</property>
<property name="left_margin">2</property>
<property name="right_margin">2</property>
<property name="show_line_numbers">True</property>
<property name="show_line_marks">True</property>
<property name="tab_width">4</property>
<property name="auto_indent">True</property>
<property name="highlight_current_line">True</property>
<property name="indent_on_tab">False</property>
</object>

touchy gui - tab AUTO - has nice hal-sourceview with very accurate colour effect
inspecting touchy.glade shows how it is constructed within almost 400 lines
1786
<object class="GtkTable" id="table16">
<property name="visible">True</property>
<property name="n_rows">20</property>
<property name="homogeneous">True</property>
<child>
<object class="GtkEventBox" id="eventbox_listing0">
<property name="visible">True</property>
<signal name="button_release_event" handler="on_listing_select"/>
<child>
<object class="GtkLabel" id="listing0">
<property name="visible">True</property>
<property name="xalign">0</property>
<property name="label" translatable="yes">M2</property>
<property name="width_chars">20</property>
<property name="single_line_mode">True</property>
</object>
</child>
</object>
</child>
...

so then very simple - many, many thanks for touchy !

Andy, I think that, too. May I repeat here my question concerning YZPoson.png
color combination in "EMC_SourceView" is not so accurate
how can we define colour properties in Glade e.g. ?

concerning YZPoson.png
talking about color combination in "EMC_SourceView" - the font for complete G-code is any purple and the highlighted line, marking the actually runned cycle also in any red colour is not so accurate
how can we define colour properties in Glade e.g. ?

<object class="EMC_SourceView" id="hal_sourceview1">
<property name="visible">True</property>
<property name="can_focus">True</property>
<property name="left_margin">2</property>
<property name="right_margin">2</property>
<property name="show_line_numbers">True</property>
<property name="show_line_marks">True</property>
<property name="tab_width">4</property>
<property name="auto_indent">True</property>
<property name="highlight_current_line">True</property>
<property name="indent_on_tab">False</property>
</object>

Andy, I have to check what you explained to me, with gedit, if linux system settings come through for imaging of EMC_SourceView
