I added the above 4 liner, at the bottom of the file, I note you comma
separated the legend strings where the example used spaces. No apparent
difference in the appearance.
But it still only generated one halpin, pyvcp.multilabel.0.legend0, which
was set true by default. And it displayed both labels merged as one
string. Calling up the show config with its one line editor, setp'ing
it true or false was successfull, but has no effect on the display,
which remained "jog inchjog mm".
This being an armhf (an r-pi 3b) machine, do I have a pyvcp bug that the
x86 machines don't suffer from? Or possibly a bit of python/pyvcp not
installed? In this event, I'd expect the terminal to show an error,
which it does not.
This isn't as important as it once was as I have added a colored long
rectled, so g20 is yellow, and g21 is blue4.
And I've found that machine units is not part of the status, so theres
nothing to drive the multilabel. One could reach into the .ini file and
get it, but its not dynamically changeable w/o restarting LCNC with a
changed config. So thats of much less operator utility than I had in
mind when I first tried to make it work. But it could come in handy for
something else at some point.
Suggestions John?
