 * \brief A graphical sink to display multiple signals on a
 * waterfall (spectrogram) plot.
 * \ingroup instrumentation_blk
 * \ingroup qtgui_blk
 *
 * \details
 * This is a QT-based graphical sink the takes set of a floating
 * point streams and plots a waterfall (spectrogram) plot.
 *
 * Note that unlike the other qtgui sinks, this one does not
 * support multiple input streams. We have yet to figure out a
 * good way to display multiple, independent signals on this kind
 * of a plot. If there are any suggestions or examples of this, we
 * would love to see them. Otherwise, to display multiple signals
 * here, it's probably best to sum the signals together and
 * connect that here.
 *
 * The sink supports plotting streaming float data or
 * messages. The message port is named "in". The two modes cannot
 * be used simultaneously, and \p nconnections should be set to 0
 * when using the message mode. GRC handles this issue by
 * providing the "Float Message" type that removes the streaming
 * port(s).
 *
 * 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.
 *
 *
 * Message Ports:
 *
 * - freq (input):
 *        Receives a PMT pair: (intern("freq"), double(frequency)).
 *        This is used to retune the center frequency of the
 *        display's x-axis.
 *
 * - bw (input):
 *        Receives a PMT pair: (intern("bw"), double(bandwidth)).
 *        This is used to programmatically change the bandwidth of
 *        of the display's x-axis.
 *
 * - freq (output):
 *        Produces a PMT pair with (intern("freq"), double(frequency)).
 *        When a user double-clicks on the display, the block
 *        produces and emits a message containing the frequency of
 *        where on the x-axis the user clicked. This value can be
 *        used by other blocks to update their frequency setting.
 *
 *        To perform click-to-tune behavior, this output 'freq'
 *        port can be redirected to this block's input 'freq' port
 *        to catch the message and update the center frequency of
 *        the display.
