Adding multiple tabs to a Slicer application window
- Challenge: Will be useful to specify and switch among multiple tabs in the main application window.
- Each tab can display a layout, and that layout may include multiple views, multiple module guis, etc.
- Displaying multiple module guis at once requires each module UI to contain module select/navigate controls.
- Need controls for adding a tab, deleting current tab.
- Slicer starts up: first time user sees welcome module in a single tab.
- Slicer starts up: returning user sees their tabs from last session restored.
