looking for opinion:
In cvs Jeff made some great changes to import HAL signal names to use as
symbols (eg ' lube out>' instead of '%Q3').
To do this he cheated a little and circumvented displaying the HAL signal
names in the symbol window,and the signal names take presidence over symbol
names.
In my personal version I fixed the window problem but symbol names take
presidence over HAL signal names. (in other words HAL signal names are only
used if there is not already a symbol name for the variable)
One problem I see is that very long signal names look terrible in
classsicladder. (I am wondering if there is a way to change the font smaller
when displaying text but can not find a way in GTK.-I'm sure there is a way)
Also my version only checks for HAL signals names when classicladder is
loaded-meaning signals created after classicladder loads will not be displayed.
So the questions....
should classicladder always display HAL signal names if they are available or
should the programmer decide if he wants to use a different name.
and
should the symbol window be updated with new signal names (maybe with a "check
for signals" button??) or is loading then once enough (this is not a problem
for a properly laid out HAL file but for a new-to-integrating person ..
Thanks
