Unify INI file settings in DISPLAY section

[hansu]

Follow up for #2335 and #3171

I started to list the INI-values that are used by the GUIs. Please help to fill the table with the GUIs you maintain.

updated for Qtvcp. If you look at gremlin.py there are more INI settings for gmoccapy too.
ini-values.ods

[hansu]

Thanks. I will have a look into gremlin.py :-)

[andypugh]

I am not actually the Touchy maintainer, but I do use it. It seems to take very little from the INI

andypugh@rm-one:~/linuxcnc-dev/src/emc/usr_intf/touchy$ grep -r ini.find .
./touchy.py:                        alternate_gladefile = self.ini.find("DISPLAY", "GLADEFILE")
./touchy.py:                    macros = self.ini.findall("TOUCHY", "MACRO")
./touchy.py:                units=self.ini.find("TRAJ","LINEAR_UNITS")
./touchy.py:                        units=self.ini.find("AXIS_X","UNITS")
./touchy.py:                tab_names = self.ini.findall("DISPLAY", "EMBED_TAB_NAME")
./touchy.py:                tab_cmd   = self.ini.findall("DISPLAY", "EMBED_TAB_COMMAND")
./touchy.py:                postgui_halfile = self.ini.findall("HAL", "POSTGUI_HALFILE") or None
./touchy.py:                kins = self.ini.find("KINS", "KINEMATICS")

Touchy could also get some clean up for

• "TOUCHY", "MACRO"
• "AXIS_X","UNITS"

[andypugh]

Are you suggesting that Touchy should search in [MACROS] rather than in [TOUCHY] ?
Or both?

Looking at [AXIS_X] for units probably isn't ideal as that appears to be a JOINT_n setting, and is intended as an override. (according to the docs)

[hansu]

Are you suggesting that Touchy should search in [MACROS] rather than in [TOUCHY] ? Or both?

Yes in [MACROS] only. And we should convert it with the update-ini script.

Looking at [AXIS_X] for units probably isn't ideal as that appears to be a JOINT_n setting, and is intended as an override. (according to the docs)

Then maybe [TRAJ] LINEAR_UNITS is the better choice.

OK.

It looks in [TRAJ] first.

[hansu]

It looks in [TRAJ] first.

Oh yes I overlooked that

Nice 👍
I only wonder if it was your intention to update "updating-linuxcnc.adoc" with this commit?

[andypugh]

Nice 👍 I only wonder if it was your intention to update "updating-linuxcnc.adoc" with this commit?

Yes, this is the first config change (that I am aware of) between 2.9 and 2.10. I thought that it was probably better to do it with a release-note and a warning from the GUI rather than add it to the update_ini script, at least at this point in time. (it seems like a waste of an ini-version increment)
