Gnuradio-companion GUI sinks don't scale to laptop screen resolution

GNU Radio
1

Hi All,

does anyone know if there is a setting or configuration file I need to
modify to get gnuradio-companion to scale GUI sinks correctly for my
laptop
screen resolution?
If for example I have a wx scope gui and an fft gui stacked one above
the
other so I can see them simultaneously, the lower plot is missing half
of
the lower portion off the bottom of the screen, i.e it doesn’t scale
itself
to fit within the confines of the visible screen. If I specify the Grid
Position of the two scopes so that they are next to each (left,right) I
still lose a portion off the right of my screen. Is it possible to have
these wx gui objects dynamically scale?

I’m running the latest git 3.4 version of GNU Radio.

Thanks very much.

Regards
Richard

Richard,
I don’t believe anything like what you are asking for currently exists
(if
it does, it’s not a well-known feature).

Hi Alex,

yes, thanks for that info. That is the solution that I settled on in the
interim, it just means that applications are not as portable as I would
like, e.g building an application on a desktop PC with a larger screen
and
then transferring to a laptop to be used at a presentation somewhere.
However, I can work around this as it’s not a common scenario, for me
anyway.

Cheers
Richard

It may not do it dynamically, but did you know you can enter dimensions
in the Window Size field for the scope and waterfall sink? I assume your
screen doesn’t change size too often, so it should at least get it to a
point where it’s usable for you.
