Hey George,
As Marcus mentioned, we are working to rewrite GRC using QT rather
than GTK. If your interested in QT GUI stuff, check out the GRC
working group page and repo:
https://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GRCWG
https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio-wg-grc/
At the moment, there is a main window for the QT port (the grcqt
branch), but not much else. I haven't had a ton of time to work on
it recently.

I'd say it's pretty usable and stable in *current* versions of
gnuradio.

Have a git blame one the gr-qtgui subdirectory. You'll mainly find
Tom as contributor, but of course, a lot of people contribute
features, new sinks, bugfixes etc.
So, I'd say, it's an overall community effort.
will "introduce a QT version of GRC" (what
does that mean?)
GRC (GNU Radio Companion) is, to date, a GTK application, and
there's work going on to "port it" to Qt (I'd rather say, there's
someone who's rewriting the GUI part completely, but in effect,
it's a port).
gr-qtgui will be switching examples to use
gr-qtgui instead of gr-wxgui
Um, I don't understand that, either, but it means that in the
future, examples will be based on Qt GUI (rather than WX *or* QT,
depending on when/who wrote them).
Functionality I'm most interested in
includes X/Y mode for the QT GUI Time Sink and the ability to
pause the output of the Time, Frequency, and Waterfall sinks (as
is available via the "Stop" button in the WX counterparts.
Have you tried middle mouse button, for example on the waterfall
sink?
All in all, the Qt widgets are easier to integrate into "real
world" applications, and they are far more easily customized -- a
CSS might be all you need.
Greetings,
Marcus

Greetings all,
I recently began using gnuradio and GRC with a pair of
USRPs. It's my understanding that plans are underway to
ultimately remove WX in v3.9 as a GUI option from gnuradio, and
replace it with QT. It's also my understanding that QT GUI
development is underway in future versions of gnuradio. I'm
interested in attempting to help develop for gnuradio and have
forked a copy of the source from github.
With that in mind, I have a few questions:
- Who is involved with QT GUI development for gnuradio?
- What future improvements, especially functionality
related, are planned for gnuradio QT? All I have been able
to find in the 3.8.0 roadmap is that grc will "introduce a
QT version of GRC" (what does that mean?) and that
gr-qtgui will be switching examples to use gr-qtgui
instead of gr-wxgui. Functionality I'm most interested in
includes X/Y mode for the QT GUI Time Sink and the ability
to pause the output of the Time, Frequency, and Waterfall
sinks (as is available via the "Stop" button in the WX
counterparts.
- In looking over the WX and QT GUI options, I personally
prefer the layout and functionality of the WX GUI
components (specifically, the instrumentation options).
Are there any plans to attempt to replicate the layout and
options of the WX components? (Perhaps the old WX layout
style and functionality are being abandoned for good
reason; if that's the case, if anybody could clarify that
for me or point me in the right direction I would be most
appreciative.)
Thanks everyone, and I look forward to hearing from you!
--George
