WANTED: Flowgraphs for the GNU Radio Block Doc pages

Dear USRP Users,

————————————————————————————————————————
tl;dr: Click on any block in [1], find or build a simple, but function-illustrating
flowgraph around that block, and make GNU Radio easier to use!

————————————————————————————————————————

a lot of us are using GNU Radio in our daily SDR work (I sure do, for some reason).

Hopefully, most of you are aware of the extensive Block Documentation [0] that the
Documentation team and numerous other contributors have built over the last year: 555
documented blocks and counting!

Now, a lot of these pages are great, have illustrative examples and can be easily
understood by beginners and are useful to experts alike.
One of the things missing on a lot of these pages: a good Example Flowgraph.
Often, a flowgraph is worth a thousand words – because that's the case, Barry Duggan and
helpers have compiled a wiki Category for blocks missing an example flowgraph [1].

Any help filling these gaps would be most welcome; if you have – just for example – a good
example of doing something with the "Sample and Hold" block, that would be a great addition!

The Documentation team is very eager to help you, too. If you have any questions, reach
out to them via #docs:gnuradio.org on Matrix [2].

For forwarding purposes, there's also a more general version of this request for help
available on [3].

Best regards,
Marcus Müller
