You can use the [FILTER] section to have AXIS run a filter program to
turn another sort of file into an ngc file.
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config_ini_config.html#sub:[FILTER]-Section
You can use the shell command 'axis-remote --reload' to make axis reload
the current file, or 'axis-remote filename' to make it load a new file.
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui_axis.html#r1_7
If your editor can't automatically invoke a shell command after it saves
a file, use your favorite scripting language to check whether a file has
changed, and then cause axis to reload it when it does change:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, os, time
def timestamp(filename):
try: return os.stat(filename).st_mtime
except os.error: return None
filename = sys.argv[1]
last = timestamp(filename)
while 1:
time.sleep(1)
new = timestamp(filename)
if new != None and new != last:
last = new
print 'file changed. reloading'
os.spawnvp(os.P_WAIT, 'axis-remote', ['axis-remote', filename])
