 * \details
 * This is a QT-based graphical sink the takes set of a complex
 * streams and plots them on an IQ constellation plot.
 *
 * 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.

     * Set up a trigger for the sink to know when to start
     * plotting. Useful to isolate events and avoid noise.
     *
     * The trigger modes are Free, Auto, Normal, and Tag (see
     * gr::qtgui::trigger_mode). The first three are like a normal
     * oscope trigger function. Free means free running with no
     * trigger, auto will trigger if the trigger event is seen, but
     * will still plot otherwise, and normal will hold until the
     * trigger event is observed. The Tag trigger mode allows us to
     * trigger off a specific stream tag. The tag trigger is based
     * only on the name of the tag, so when a tag of the given name
     * is seen, the trigger is activated.
     *
     * In auto and normal mode, we look for the slope of the
     * magnitude of the signal. As a constellation sink, this only
     * takes in complex numbers to plot. Given a
     * gr::qtgui::trigger_slope as either Positive or Negative, if
     * the magnitude between two samples moves in the given
     * direction (x[1] > x[0] for Positive or x[1] < x[0] for
     * Negative), then the trigger is activated.
     *
     * \param mode The trigger_mode: free, auto, normal, or tag.
     * \param slope The trigger_slope: positive or negative. Only
     *              used for auto and normal modes.
     * \param level The magnitude of the trigger even for auto or normal modes.
     * \param channel Which input channel to use for the trigger events.
     * \param tag_key The name (as a string) of the tag to trigger off
     *                 of if using the tag mode.
