GSoC 2023 Qt Widgets Improvement Week-9 [ Qt integration Wiki Documentation ]

Welcome to another update on the progress of the GSoC 2023 Qt Widgets Improvement project. In this Week 9 blog post, I am excited to share that I have created documentation for the Qt GUI integration tutorial on the GNU Radio wiki page.

Documentation for Qt GUI Integration Tutorial

To enhance user understanding and provide a comprehensive guide, I have developed detailed documentation for integrating Qt GUI into GNU Radio projects. This tutorial covers various aspects such as custom layouts, generating .ui files, and seamlessly integrating them within our flowgraphs.

The document covers the following topics:
