Missing popup when hovering over FFT sink in gnuradio

I've been watching Michael Ossmann's video guides on SDR on Great Scott Gadgets. In his videos, he hovers over the TTF sink which displays frequencies, power and TTF. If I do this on OS X, I don't get this yellow popup - besides the fact that my TTF sink looks differently.

Is this a setting in gnuradio, or might it be an OS X issue? I'm running gnuradio 3.7.9.1.

EDIT: It appears that installing pyopengl solves this, as WX is falling back to "something". Install it using pip install pyopengl and restart gnuradio.

With pyopengl

Solution

  • I think WX fell back to the non-GL version. As Marcus said, this can have a lot of reasons. On OSX, I was, however, only missing python-opengl. Maybe that's also your problem.

    I agree that we should switch to QT in the long run, but since there are still several WX projects around, it might be worth having a working installation.
