Forum: GNU Radio wx GUI problem

Hi. I am just beginning to learn how to use gnuradio. I am currently
running Linux 12.04 LTS and installed gnuradio using the script provided 
by
Marcus Leech.
I tried doing a little simulation in gnuradio-companion using a source 
and
two wxgui sinks.

The problem is that when i run my simulation, i can't see the second 
sink's
window entirely, i have a small laptop screen. How or what can i do in
order to see the gui better?

Important Note: i recently began using gnuradio and linux, i know really
nothing. Please explain like you would explain to a 3 year old.

Thank you!

Ok, so there's this weeedle bitty thingy called the WX GUI Notebook....

You probably didn't exactly mean it like that...

Still, you'll want to use the WX GUI Notebook. Under the 'WX GUI 
Widgets'
just drop a notebook block down on the canvas. When you bring up the
properties box, the two most important things are to set the 'ID' and 
the
'Labels.' Since you only have two sinks you want to see right now, just
have two strings in the Labels list.

Now, in your wxgui objects, scroll down until you see 'Notebook'. The
format for this is: Notebook ID, position in list.

Say your notebook's ID is 'notebook', you would just put in 'notebook,0'
and 'notebook,1' into the Notebook parameters of each wx gui object you
have.

Hi,

This is a common issue with laptop screens and low vertical resolution.

This page explains the window grid positioning:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki...

So if you make one of your wxgui components use 0,0,1,1 and the other
0,1,1,1 they will be side by side instead.

I have really found that plugging my laptop into a monitor to gain space 
is
very helpful.

Hi, again! Thank you both very much for your answers. They were very
helpful.
Have a great day, everybody!
