help text still informs about removed feature -S / --script #425

Hi,
just stumbled upon this issue and found the PR that removed the feature but didn't update the help text.
On that note, how is it possible to add signals onto the waveform programatically (like with the --script option)

Thanks, good catch, I'll remove that from the help output.

Unfortunately this isn't yet possible in the development version. The way the displayed waveforms are managed in a GTKWave project will get a total rewrite for GTKWave 4 and because of that I haven't spent any time to make the old way accessible via Python scripting. If you need this feature now you'll either need to stick with GTKWave 3.3 or generate a .gtkw file externally.

Can you share the TCL you are using at the moment? I'm always interested to see how the current scripting interface gets used to make sure the same will be possible in GTKWave 4.
