Pothos Widgets Toolkit

The Pothos widgets toolkit is a component of the Pothos data-flow framework. The toolkit contains a family of blocks that implement graphical control widgets, providing simple GUI controls, and status monitors for live control and feedback. Widget blocks tie into the topology though the signals and slots system, but also have a associated widget that can be displayed and manipulated within the Pothos GUI.
