GladeVCP and PyVCP are specifically provided to aid user configuration and customisation. So, they use scripts that can be readily modified and where modifications take effect immediately without recompilation. Python (and Tcl) give this, whereas C++ does not. In fact a C++ UI might well require all the LinuxCNC source code to be present in order to compile. And for things like string parsing, file access and Regex Python is just so much friendlier. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
