Hi Felix,

_window->_current_title=_title   //this set the tittle provide by the
user to wavepanel and by default it is simulation mode name.
_window->_is_newsim=true;   // _is_newsim is a flag which tracks
whether the provided title is new or it already exist.If it is new
then new wavepanel get appended in window otherwise existing wavepanel
get modified.

How it works?

In c_plot.cc about line 250, in CMD_PLOT::do_it

if(_window->_is_newsim){
        MY_THREAD *tran=new MY_THREAD();
        tran->start();
        _window->_is_proceed=false;

Here tran->start() is responsible for all things. It invokes execute
function of MY_THREAD class and there you will find all gtk stuffs.

Another way of writing the same.

Yes, because you can only run one main window or otherwise you have to
start a new thread for running another main window.

Yes there is a main window which contains multiple tabs and with the
old code base (before rework of wave storage) its working absolutely
fine.
Empty area is for variable list. A list which contains all the
variable plotted in currently selected tab or wavepanel. From this
list you directly add or delete waveform in the wavepanel.

Like if you plotted v1,v2 and v3 initially. Then you wants to compare
only v1 and v3 then simply right click on v2 and an option will pop up
for delete. Now again if you wants to compare v1 and v2, right click
on v2 to add it back and remove v3 by same procedure.

Can you please tell me what exactly the error is occurring when you
are trying to run it with new code base.

thanks,
