Welcome to LinuxCNC.org

Hi

I use this line in my pyvcp:
<scale halpin="heater1.set-sv" initval="10" min_="300" max_="0" orient="vertical" width="25" length="500" />

Whatever the initval i use the scale always start at 300 or whatever is the min value.
If i reverse the order of min and max then it works ok. Is any way to force the initial value to apply?

Thank you

I would assume that min must be less than the initial value and max must be more than the initial value to work. You seem to have it backwards...

Thank you for your answer. You are right, after some search i found in the [pyvcp_widgets.py] file in the [pyvcp_scale] class this code fragment:

if initval < min_:
self.value=min_
elif initval > max_:
self.value=max_
else:
self.value=initval

I change it to:

if max_ > min_:
if initval < min_:
self.value=min_
elif initval > max_:
self.value=max_
else:
self.value=initval
else:
if initval > min_:
self.value=min_
elif initval < max_:
self.value=max_
else:
self.value=initval

Now it working both ways. It will be nice if it is added to the next release. When you use verical scale is more user friendly to have the lower value in the bottom.

Regards

Makes sense to me...
