Yes. But I don't know how to program a bidirectional slider or other widget yet.

I guess the 'emc' module is how AXIS interfaces to emc ? In the meantime, I have programmed my first ever XML parser which looks at an XML file and produces a widget layout from it: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?PyVCP As I am not a professional programmer, and only a Python beginner, the code is still very rough, but it seems to work somehow. All of the design decisions probably warrant more thought and re-writing to make pyvcp really useful. would the almighty board of directors please indicate if this development has a future, or if I should keep it as my private toy ??
