PrettyGCode 2

[Kragrathea]

I am working on a new version that is a substantial rewrite from the previous version. The code for it (for now) lives in the TestBranch and can be installed with this link

https://github.com/Kragrathea/OctoPrint-PrettyGCode/archive/refs/heads/TestBranch.zip

You can force the plugin version to use the old PrettyGCode for testing. Add the parameter "?oldpgc=1" to the url.

In addition to showing up as a OctoPrint plugin it will also work as a stand alone web application. Make sure you are logged into Octoprint and then browse to /plugin/prettygcode/static/pgcode/pgcode.html

Notes:

• The bed volume isn't being detected currently.
• Camera view isn't working yet
• Perspective camera option requires manual reload of the page.

I think there are issues with center origin in this newer version.
new:

old:

rendering seems slower than previous version too.

[Kragrathea]

Oh, I forgot to mention. The bed volume isn't being detected currently.

If you want to modify the code to fix it temp you can change pgcframe.js line 112 to be like this:
$("#pgciframe").attr("src","/plugin/prettygcode/static/pgcode/pgcode.html?embedded=1&bed.origin=center&bed.width=400&bed.depth=400&server="+document.location.origin)

[jneilliii]

Yeah, much better. I just used that command in developer console like this.

$("#pgciframe").attr("src","/plugin/prettygcode/static/pgcode/pgcode.html?embedded=1&bed.origin=center&bed.width=200&bed.depth=200&server="+document.location.origin);

Nice! You can also add &fps=1 to get a frame rate number on screen.

The only reason I can think of that it would render slower is because you have travel lines on. Those were not drawn in the last version.

[Kragrathea]

Also looks like the layer value might be wrong. And the font isn't exactly what it is is supposed to be.

[jneilliii]

rendering seems a little closer to the original when I turn off travel moves and the 2d view.

[Kragrathea]

Right! The 2d view could take a lot of frame rate. Although it is only rendering the currently layer so it shouldn't be like 2x slower.

Hi Kragrathea, is PrettyGCode 2 still being worked on?

Thank you for the current version, it's a really great plugin.

Waiting for V2!

Also wanted to ask if PrettyGCode 2 is being worked on.

It looks like it's been over a year since Kragathea last commented on this at all, and the ReadMe.md was edited also over a year ago. I hope they're ok, because it's not normal for someone to just completely abandon a project like this.

I was hoping a newer version was being worked on, because I wanted to change the theming for a "retro" Gcode viewer that uses this framework but makes it look like a retrofuturistic scifi display instead.

Sad that this looks like a dead project.

Edit: Looks like Kragathea's made a contribution in Jul 2022 on another project, so at least they're not dead. Hope everything else is ok though. Wish we could get the tiniest update on the status.

actually pretty common in the plugin world it seems.

Hi. PrettyCode 2 is pretty much the pgcode project here:
https://github.com/Kragrathea/pgcode
Pgcode will work with in the future will work directly with OctoPrint but it is not as a plugin. It will need to installed on the Pi separately.

This it the OctoPrint Plugin version and I may come back and update it at some point.
