tab-style GUI for MEDM #20

Closed prjemian closed 2 years ago

prjemian commented 5 years ago

With synApps 6.0, there is a new tabbed GUI screen for the XXX generic/template IOC. clipboard01

It would be nice if ... there was a similar new design for the MEDM screen. The new screen organizes the green-button screen into categories, allowing the font size to be larger again (and more readable).

Since MEDM does not have a tabbed display, this means separate .adl files will be needed to provide a tab-style display. The tab buttons will use MEDM's related display button with replace display selected.

Once the screens are ready, the start_MEDM shelss scripts should be update to use the new screens

The new style screens eliminate submenus. Conversion of submenus into other GUIs could become a challenge.

Also, these will need to be auto-converted.

Also, note that these screens were written so that no IOC prefix is coded into the screens. But, rather than depositing them in the synApps std module, they remain here in case a specific IOC chooses to provide a local customization.
