boundaries pin in AXIS

Hi, is there any posibilities to get min and max coordinates from loaded G-code to pins?
I need make some glade buttons to move to xmin xmax and ymin ymax for check work place.
I find same calculations in AXIS (properties XYZ bounds), but it is only internal value, not hal pin in axisui.
it is no problem to define pins myself and calculate this value in axis.py but I'd radher use something from official distribution.
Thanks Martin

It might be possible to do this in the .axisrc file:

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/axis.html#_axisrc

You can certainly _create_ the pins easily enough with .axisrc. Whether it is as as easy to make the pins update is a different question.

In axis.py, the LivePlotter class periodically calls a function named update.
At the end of this function there is a call to user_live_update()
which is served by a no-op placeholder.

So an .axisrc file (or a [DISPLAY]USER_COMMAND_FILE) can define a
user_live_update() function which is served periodically like other updates.

Just to explain, the advantage of using a .axisrc file to customise Axis behaviour is that the modification will still work if Axis (and LinuxCNC) is updated.

And another clarification:

a user's ~/.axisrc file is invoked for any ini file used by the user account

an ini option for [DISPLAY]USER_COMMAND_FILE supersedes the ~/.axisrc file
and makes it possible to do axis gui customizations on a per inifile basis

Thanks for advice
This information is exactly what I want.
Here is my solution
if hal_present:
    mycomp = hal.component("boundaries")
    mycomp.newpin("max_lim_x",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("min_lim_x",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("mid_lim_x",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("max_lim_y",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("min_lim_y",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("mid_lim_y",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("max_lim_z",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("min_lim_z",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.newpin("mid_lim_z",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
    mycomp.ready()
if vars.metric.get():
    conv = 1
else:
    conv = 1/25.4


# this function is called at [DISPLAY]CYCLE_TIME interval
def user_live_update():
    min_extents = from_internal_units(o.canon.min_extents, conv)
    max_extents = from_internal_units(o.canon.max_extents, conv)
    mycomp['min_lim_x'] = min_extents[0]
    mycomp['max_lim_x'] = max_extents[0]
    mycomp['mid_lim_x'] =  min_extents[0] + (max_extents[0] - min_extents[0])/2
    mycomp['min_lim_y'] = min_extents[1]
    mycomp['max_lim_y'] = max_extents[1]
    mycomp['mid_lim_y'] = min_extents[1]+ (max_extents[1] - min_extents[1])/2
    mycomp['min_lim_z'] = min_extents[2]
    mycomp['max_lim_z'] = max_extents[2]
    mycomp['mid_lim_z'] =  min_extents[2]+ (max_extents[2] - min_extents[2])/2
