Exploring BOY-land from medm.
1) Using BOY, I want large numbers to be displayed with no comma.
e.g. 145,123 I want to display as 145123
Widget type text update, format type decimal. Tried format string and
that showed gibberish. Also tried a few others widget types to no
avail. I tried several LC_NUMERIC environment settings before css
launch, no help there.
Any ideas?
2) With medm, when I resized a display's window the entire display
scaled. With BOY this is not the behavior - you just shrink the
visible portion of the display. To shrink/enlarge/scale the entire
display takes several steps and the F8 key. Is there a trick or
setting to rescale the entire display - widgets, text, objects? Does
a WebOPI display behave any differently in this regard?
just some comments on my experience:
==================================
Had success with SNS Basic_EPICS version.
I was very impressed with how quickly I was able to adl2boy our 400
medm displays. Most needed a tweak (compound visibility rule) and
some wouldn't convert (shell script launcher?) but basically they all
worked. adl2boy worked on my 32-bit RHEL5 Basic_EPICS but not on my
64-bit RHEL_5.
I like the tabbing feature when additional displays are brought up,
but I also like to arrange many displays across numerous operator
screens - often shrinking the displays to get more on there all
visible at once. I added an action button to each display to 'detach'
; that gets me my displays on independent windows. I tried to drag
the display's tab out of the window but this didn't work. I also
thought a right-click option to 'detach' would also be useful ...I
know I know, if I want that feature then code it up :). But my
window resize/rescale issue remains. The operators are used to this
feature.
