This is a QT-based graphical sink that takes in numerical streams and plots a time_raster (spectrogram) plot.
This is the template for the [[:Category:Block_Docs|"Page-per-block Docs"]].  This first section should describe what the block does and how to use it, using however many paragraphs necessary.  Note that the title of the wiki page should match the block's name in GRC, i.e. the one defined in the block's .grc file.  Look at the [[FFT]] Block for a good example.


As this is a basic template, it's also in the [[:Category:Stub_Docs|"Stub Docs category"]]. Please improve it.
This sink can plot messages that contain either uniform vectors of float 32 values (pmt::is_f32vector) or PDUs where the data is a uniform vector of float 32 values.
 
'''Note:''' This block does not limit the items per second it consumes, even though it has an "Update Rate" parameter; it will drop samples if the incoming data rate is higher than the product of the number of columns and the update rate. It is up to the user to choose an update rate that represents his processing needs.

Insert description of flowgraph here, then show a screenshot of the flowgraph and the output if there is an interesting GUI. Currently we have no standard method of uploading the actual flowgraph to the wiki or git repo, unfortunately. The plan is to have an example flowgraph showing how the block might be used, for every block, and the flowgraphs will live in the git repo.

This is a QT-based graphical sink that takes in numerical streams and plots a time_raster (spectrogram) plot.

This sink can plot messages that contain either uniform vectors of float 32 values (pmt::is_f32vector) or PDUs where the data is a uniform vector of float 32 values.

Note: This block does not limit the items per second it consumes, even though it has an "Update Rate" parameter; it will drop samples if the incoming data rate is higher than the product of the number of columns and the update rate. It is up to the user to choose an update rate that represents his processing needs.
