     * \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 complex
     * 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 complex 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 "Complex Message" type that removes the streaming
     * port(s).
     *
     * This sink can plot messages that contain either uniform vectors
     * of complex 32 values (pmt::is_c32vector) or PDUs where the data
     * is a uniform vector of complex 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.
     *
     * - 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.
