Agreed. I have the same problem with my poor-resolution laptop. We're definitely going to work in Mike's changes here. It's one of those good ideas that I was too close to the original code to see initially. > On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 10:00 AM, Mike Cornelius <d...@drelectro.com> wrote: >> On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 2:42 AM, Tom Rondeau <trondeau1...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 2:53 AM, Mike Cornelius <d...@drelectro.com> wrote: >>>> - Added a center frequency marker and interface >>>> - Changed zoomer to use drag select rather than click select >>> >>> I'm not sure what you mean by this.

I think being able to toggle the QwtPlot's grids is a good idea. >> Presently the zoom function in gr_qtgui works as 'click - drag - click' I >> changed it to 'button down - drag - button up' > > To me 'button down - drag - button up' already zooms on all gr-qtgui > plots.

Perhaps it wasn't coded quite right and allowed different windows managers to do different things with it. Or maybe it's just a setting. I'll look at how Mike did it and see if it's generally better.
