[Discuss-gnuradio] Graphical sinks and visibility state

2010-04-28 Thread Marcus D. Leech
It looks like when a graphic sink isn't visible, it doesn't run. Is there a clean way to override this behaviour? For some types of graphical outputs, like waterfall sinks, which show a time series, having that waterfall stop, simply because it isn't currently visible, is broken. If you have

It looks like what you want to do is outside of the scope of GRC. You will need to create custom blocks to provide that functionality, or make hand-written python code with wxpython. -Josh On 04/28/2010 05:44 AM, Umair Naeem wrote: I need to ask two questions... 1) What is the purpose of
