/*!
 * \brief A graphical sink to display signals eye patterns.
 * \ingroup qtgui
 *
 * \details
 * This is a QT-based graphical sink which takes set of a float streams
 * and plots them as eye patterns. For each signal, both
 * the signal's I and Q eye patterns are plotted. Eye patterns are
 * 2 symbol's time long. Symbol rate must be an integer multiple of
 * the sample rate to obtain the eye pattern.
 *
 * Trigger occurs at the beginning of each stream used to plot the
 * eye pattern; whilst a real eye diagram would be triggered with
 * a (recovered) symbol clock. For these reasons, triggering of
 * noisy and/or unsynchronized signals may lead to incorrect eye
 * pattern.
 *
 * The sink supports plotting streaming float 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 "Float Message" type that removes the streaming
 * port(s).
 *
 * This sink can plot messages that contain either uniform vectors
 * of float 32 values (pmt::is_f32vector) or PDUs where the data
 * is a uniform vector of float 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 of the
     * signal. Given a gr::qtgui::trigger_slope as either Positive
     * or Negative, if the value 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.
     *
     * The \p delay value is specified in time based off the sample
     * rate. If the sample rate of the block is set to 1, the delay
     * is then also the sample number offset. This is the offset
     * from the left-hand y-axis of the plot. It delays the signal
     * to show the trigger event at the given delay along with some
     * portion of the signal before the event. The delay must be
     * within 0 - t_max where t_max is the maximum amount of time
     * displayed on the eye pattern equal to 2 symbol time.
     *
     * \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 delay The delay (in units of time) for where the trigger happens.
     * \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.
