Does MEDM have an "embedded display" widget? #17

Cannot find this in MEDM source code nor in any of the synApps or APS adlsys screen collections.

Search of local files (including MEDM source code, synApps screens, and adlsys screens from APS):

(base) mintadmin@mint-vm:~/.../eclipse/adl2pydm$ locate .adl | wc -l
7158
(base) mintadmin@mint-vm:~/.../eclipse/adl2pydm$ grep embedded `locate .adl`

What is meant by an "embedded display" widget?

prjemian commented 5 years ago

Somehow, I picked up the concept of a MEDM "embedded display" widget (embed the content of one screen within another) for this project but now cannot find any evidence of such. This issue was filed to document removal of the embedded display widget from this code. PyDM has an embedded widget and likely this was an early confusion for me. In MEDM, the same concept is achieved using a "composite" widget with an ADL file name given as value to the composite file property.

I understand, thanks.
