.TH "TWINWAVE" "1" "3.3.28" "Anthony Bybell" "Simulation Wave Viewer Multiplexer"
.SH "NAME"
.LP 
twinwave \- Wraps multiple GTKWave sessions in one window
.SH "SYNTAX"
.LP 
twinwave <\fIarglist1\fP> + <\fIarglist2\fP>
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP 
Wraps multiple GTKWave sessions in one window with synchronized markers, horizontal scrolling, and zooming.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.LP 
To run this program the standard way type:
.TP 
twinwave filename1.vcd filename1.sav + filename2.vcd filename2.sav
Two viewers are then opened in one window.
.SH "LIMITATIONS"
\fItwinwave\fP uses the GtkSocket/GtkPlug mechanism to embed two \fIgtkwave\fP(1) sessions into one window.  The amount of
coupling is currently limited to communication of temporal information.  Other than that, the two gtkwave processes are isolated
from each other as if the viewers were spawned separately.
Keep in mind that using the same save file for each session
may cause unintended behavior problems if the save file is written back to disk: only the session written last will be saved.  (i.e.,
the save file isn't cloned and made unique to each session.)
Note that \fItwinwave\fP compiled against Quartz (not X11) on OSX does not place both sessions in a single window.
