gladevcp - Virtual Control Panel for LinuxCNC based on Glade, Gtk and HAL widgets
gladevcp [-g WxH+X+Y] [-c component-name] [-u handler] [-U useroption] [-H HAL-file] [-d] myfile.ui
-g WxH+X+Y
This sets the initial geometry of the root window. Use WxH for just size, +X+Y for just position, or WxH+X+Y for both. Size / position use pixel units. Position is referenced from top left.
-c component-name
Use component-name as the HAL component name. If the component name is not specified, the basename of the UI file is used.
-u handler
Instructs GladeVCP to inspect the Python script handler for event handlers, and connect them to signals in the UI file.
-U useroption
GladeVCP collects all useroption strings and passes them to the handler init() method as a list of strings without further inspection.
-x XID
Reparent GladeVCP into an existing window XID instead of creating a new top level window.
-H halfile
GladeVCP runs HAL file - a list of HAL commands - by executing halcmd -c filename after the HAL component is finalized.
-d
enable debug output.
-R gtkrcfile
explicitly load a gtkrc file.
-t THEME
set gtk theme. Default is the system theme. Different panels can have different themes.
-m MAXIMUM
force panel window to maximize. Together with the -g geometry option one can move the panel to a second monitor and force it to use all of the screen
-R
explicitly deactivate workaround for a GTK bug which makes matches of widget and widget_class matches in GTK theme and gtkrc files fail. Normally not needed.
