How to increase the size of the workplace (canvas) in gnuradio-companino

Question

I work with a Gnuradio companion, working on a large project with a lot of blocks for the first time. The space on the workbench becomes scarce.

Do you know if it is possible to increase the size of the workplace?

Answer 1

Double-click on the "Parameters" block and set the "Canvas Size" (it is width, height in pixels).

Another good approach that allows you to control your flow graph is to collect groups of blocks and place them in "hier" blocks (select connected blocks, right-click, more, Create hier); use "Pad Sinks" and "Pad Sources" to create the inputs and outputs for your new hier block and use this hier block instead of a bunch of blocks to keep the flow chart in order.
