Python GUI

Python GUI for plotting packet diagrams. The GUI is meant to display packet diagrams from 4 different radios in simulation. The GUI listens over a TCP/IP socket for incoming messages. Each message contains: radio_id: (0-3) packet_type: (ack,nak,syn,cts,rts) packet_start: integer packet_duration: integer The GUI is built on-top of matplotlib (for simplicity). As new messages arrive via TCP/IP the GUI should animate and update with the new packets. The message format should be either json or pickle, whichever is faster to accomplish. The freelancer should also deliver a companion program which generates and sends random messages to test that the GUI works. Display: The GUI should have 4 horizontal "tracks" where the packets will go. The radio_id parameter determines on which track the packet is drawn. The packet_start parameter will determine where on the x axis the packet is drawn. The packet_duration parameter will determine the width of the packet. The color of the drawn packet is determined by the packet_type parameter. Please see the attached image as an example example layout.
