Hi everyone!
Sadly, the reply chain on this email thread got broken, so it's probably hard for you all
to see, but:
This is about a specific GSoC proposal, which does not at all imply that you need Qt for
every flowgraph.
Exactly as Rohit describes, this is about making it easier to build a GUI for GNU Radio
flowgraphs *should you decide you want graphical visualizations*.
And if you do so, gr-qtgui is based on Qt, anyways.
Cheers,
Marcus

I'd propose that nothing you do *requires* Qt. There are many uses for GUI-less
flowgraphs. Qt is a heavyweight framework; it should not be required in order
to build GRC flowgraphs.

I'd like to start with "integrating gnu with qt creator" because it
would make it easier to write code in the integrated qt environment

(though I'll require more directions on that).
Then "adding new widgets" followed by "improving them" .
I guess it depends on what you think the dominant design doctrine should be
"gorgeous UI with the DSP as a kind of afterthought",
or "robust DSP with the UI as a kind of afterthought". I don't think that
Qt designer is a particularly productive way to design
the DSP bits of a DSP application.
The whole "form is more important than function" is a bit of leftover
brain-death promulgated by Steve Jobs, and it was as
wrong-headed then as it is now, IMHO.
