# Gscreen is made for running linuxcnc CNC machines
# Gscreen was built with touchscreens in mind though a mouse works too.
# a keyboard is necessary for editting gcode
# Gscreen is, at it's heart, a gladevcp program though loaded in a non standard way.
# one can also use a second monitor to display a second glade panel
# this would probably be most useful for user's custom status widgets.
# you would need to calibrate your touchscreen to just work on a single screen
