== Status of gr-tutorial use with Tutorials ==

Of the seven original tutorials, the only one which references the files in gr-tutorial is Guided_Tutorial_PSK_Demodulation. There are 12 flowgraphs for it in https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-tutorial/tree/master/examples/tutorial7  Since there are pictures of all the flowgraphs and outputs, we could just have the one final flowgraph in-tree, and remove all the links to gr-tutorial.
These 3.9 GUI Widgets do not have doc pages:


The code for 'my_qpsk_demod' is not used, and none of the other files in gr-tutorial are used either.
