Hi all. We're trying to create a very simple vismach configuration to run in qt dragon following this documentation , but it just displays an empty window with sliders to the left, apparently to control the viewport. The vismach config file is attached. Any ideas?

#!/usr/bin/python3

from qt_vismach import *
import hal
import math
import sys

c = hal.component("vm_test")
c.newpin("joint0", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_IN)
c.newpin("joint1", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_IN)
c.newpin("joint2", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_IN)
c.ready()

ram = CylinderZ(50.0, 50.0, 100.0, 50.0)
ram = Color([1,1,1,1],[ram])
ram = Translate([ram], 0.0, 0.0, -35.0)
ram = HalTranslate([ram], c, "joint2", 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)

table = BoxCenteredXY(0.0, 150.0, 15.0)
table = Color([2,2,2,2],[table])
table = Translate([table], 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
table = HalTranslate([table], c, "joint1", 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)

ram = Capture()
table = Capture()
model = Collection ([ram, table])

main(model, ram, table, size=1000, hud=1, rotation_vectors=None, lat=0, lon=0)

Those docs while relevant and helpful are for the tkinter version of vismach that is not embeddable in a gui (if that is what you wish to do)

There currently is no docs for qt_vismach that I can find, but there are a couple sample panels.

in a terminal try:
qtvcp vismach_mill_xyz
qtvcp vismach_scara

here is the relevant file for mill_xyz

Here is a folder with code based on your file.
unzip somewhere then if you write the following in a terminal it should display.
(cd to the directory that the file is in first)
qtvcp vismach_vm_test

you probably need to update to the latest master code (Are you using a compiled version?)
This version of the code still uses the HAL pins from the component defined in the vm_test.py file.
I also added some more docs to master, that hopefully helps.
probably more needed.

hello cmorley, So far so good with the creation of my vismach, I proceeded to import my script but the following error has occurred in the handler when I try to execute the qtdragon, do you know why?

qtdragon_handler.py", line 165, in __ initialized
self.w.mainLayout.addWidget(machine)
AttributeError: object 'VCPWindow' does not have attribute 'mainLayout'

Hi cmorley. The previous answer was in relation to your previous post about where you uploaded a modified version of my file.

On a semi-unrelated note, we found this post (www.forum.linuxcnc.org/qtvcp/43377-import-tk-vismach-to-qtvcp) where annhandt09 managed to embed the scara tk vismach into qt_dragon. We can't seem to figure out what to replace "self.w.xxxx.addWidget(machine)" with. Any help?

I don't see anywhere that I gave code to load vismach into qrdragon.
I did show how to load vismach using qtvcp into a qtvcp vcp panel.

qtdragon was not coded with thoughts to add user tabs easily.
It can be done but requires you to use custom qtdragon.ui and qtdragon_handler.py files.

Before I delve into that, I would like to confirm that the qtvcp panel works.

The scara example is included already as a qtvcp panel.

in a terminal:
qtvcp vismach_scara

guessing that you already figured out how to modify qtdragon's handler.
The problem is that you are trying to place the vismach widget into a widget in qtdragon that does not exist. try this:

self.w.horizontalLayout_3.addWidget(machine)

Thanks for the reply.
[ćode]
qtvcp vismach_scara
[/code]

does work in terminal.

On the post I linked, annhandt09 seemed to be able to embed vsmach in qtdragon (see attached picture).

Thanks for your last reply. Embedding worked with:
import press_brake as MILL
and:
machine = MILL.Window()
self.w.horizontalLayout_3.addWidget(machine)
