Are you using the WX Gui or the Qt Gui instrumentations?
With Qt, you can use the middle mouse button to bring up a menu that has a "Save" entry, which allows you to get a PNG of the visualization.

Best regards, and happy hacking,

Good day everyone

I'm working on a report for my final year engineering project and I want to include some plots from GRC. Taking a screenshot of the plot isn't ideal as it saves it as a png. Is there a better way I could export it for importing into word? Preferably some vector format. 

Also the default font size is to small. Currently I'm trying to correct it by adding the following code to the topblock.py file:

f = self.font()

f.setPixelSize(15)

self.setFont(f)

This does change font size however it ruins the widget layout. Is there a better way I can change the font size?

Thank you in advance

Chad,

We also recently put into the master branch of GNU Radio a 'projector.qss' theme for the QTGUI plotting system. This theme is designed to make the colors, line sizes, and font sizes big enough to be easily observed on a projector.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/master/gr-qtgui/themes/projector.qss

You can set the theme in your config.conf file. Or, again, if you have a very recent version of GNU Radio off our master branch, you can set the theme directly in the Options block's "QSS Theme" setting. Installed, themes are located at $prefix/share/gnuradio/themes.
