💖 QTVCP — Qt-based virtual control panels 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the QTVCP(1) page, part of the LinuxCNC manual sitch (The Enhanced Machine Controller, if we're being formal 💅). This is the tea on QtVCP, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

qtvcp — Qt-based virtual control panels 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qtvcp [OPTIONS] myfile.ui

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

QtVCP is a whole system for creating user interfaces for LinuxCNC. That's it, that's the vibe. 👑

Full documentation at http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/qtvcp.html — go read it, iykyk.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — shows you this help message and then dips. bye bestie 👋
  • -c [<NAME>] — sets the component name to NAME. Default is the basename of the UI file, no cap.
  • -a — makes the window always be on top. main character energy, it refuses to be covered 😤
  • -d — turns on debug output.
  • -v — turns on verbose debug output (yes, even more yapping).
  • -q — turns on only error debug output. quiet queen 🍓
  • -g [<GEOMETRY>] — sets geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFFSET+YOFFSET. Values are in pixel units, and XOFFSET/YOFFSET is referenced from the top left of the screen. Use -g WIDTHxHEIGHT if you only wanna set the size, or -g +XOFFSET+YOFFSET if you only wanna set the position. literally pick your fighter.

Example: -g 200x400+0+100.

  • -H [<FILE>] — executes HAL statements from FILE with halcmd, and it does this after the component is set up and ready. patience is a virtue ✨
  • -i — turns on info output.
  • -m — forces the panel window to maximize. it's giving big.
  • -f — forces the panel window to fullscreen. even bigger. obsessed 🌈
  • -t [<THEME>] — sets the Qt style. Default is the system theme.
  • -x [<XID>] — reparents QtVCP into an existing window XID instead of creating a new top level window. adoption arc 🫶
  • --push_xid — reparents the window into a plug and pushes the plug xid number to standardout. yes the typo-looking word is exactly as it appears, don't come for me 💀
  • -u [<USERMOD>] — file path of your user defined handler file.
  • -o [<USEROPTS>] — passes the USEROPTS strings to the handler under the self.w.USEROPTIONS_ list variable. custom, cute, curated 🎀
