A control panel in Igor Pro

NewPanel opens a window that holds controls instead of data.

Function MakePanel()
    DoWindow/K AnalysisPanel
    NewPanel/N=AnalysisPanel/K=1/W=(100, 100, 420, 320)

    SetDrawLayer UserBack
    SetDrawEnv fsize=13, fstyle=1
    DrawText 16, 28, "Trace analysis"

    ModifyPanel cbRGB=(60000, 60000, 60000), fixedSize=1
End

How it works

1. /W=(left, top, right, bottom) is in points, from the screen corner.
2. /K=1 lets the user close it without being asked.
3. Kill the old one first or a second panel appears beside it.
