#790 add/remove toolbar from wxt/qt terminal
Currently, there's no mean to disable/enable the toolbar on the qt or on wxt term. We could rebuild from source gnuplot and remove the toolbar, but is not very userfriendly. Here is a patch that does that : enable/remove the toolbar on the wxt and/or on the qt terminal. I do not have done the aqua nor the win terminal.
test on 5.4.1 version and on the main branch.
best regards,
Yves
Please explain the motivation. Why is this needed or desirable?
Initial thoughts:
For the qt terminal (at least running under KDE) you can simply grab the toolbar with the mouse and drag it off to somewhere else if you don't want to see it. Is that not sufficient?
Again with regard to expectations under KDE, wouldn't it be more consistent with other apps to have a hot-key (e.g. ctrl-shift-M) that toggles visibility of the toolbar without disabling it completely?
Hello Ethan,
Thanks for your response. So what s the meaning to add a fonctionality to
remove a function that works well?
So a short answers is : for security issue and to remove user error in
automatic display process. Drag the toolbar do not remove the error
possibilities.
Long answer :
I want to use gnuplot to plot some data on a « read only display ». The
data are collected and a script is use to display these value to some user
on a touch screen display. So the user could interact with the data ( zoom
... ) but must no try to save data or try to look into the file system.
So if someone use gnuplot to do automatic task to plot data that could be
seen by a lots of user ( Humm more than just the developer :) ). The UI
theory said that what we need is something to limit the users actions: a
really simple display. I know that I could just drag away the toolbar but
that not what I want. I want that the user can t do anything appart
zooming.
I do not use KDE for that, I use Windows 10 or little system like
beagleboard. KDE is a great desktop manager but way to powerfull to display
just some data.
In Windows 10 open an explorer could be a security issue in some use case.
So I could have use a jpeg terminal or a svg terminal and display it on
another gui, but this hack was more simple. I remove all the toolbar
because I do not want that it could reappear accidentally.
In my use case its a security issue, Windows 10 is way too smart and an
explorer is just a big issue. I do not patch the win code cause I prefer Qt
and wx. What s important is to have a display that could do that. This
could be interesting for someone else so I post it.
Best regards,
Yves Bard
