3Menu Bar
4========
5The menu bar at the top of the *SasView* window gives you access to additional features of the program:
6
7File
8----
9The File option allows you load data into *SasView* for analysis, or to save the work you have been doing.
10
11Data can be loaded one file at a time, or by selecting multiple files, or by loading an entire folder of
12files (in which case *SasView* will attempt to make an intelligent guess as to what to load based on the
13file formats it recognises in the folder!).
14
15A *SasView* session can also be saved and reloaded as an 'Analysis' (an individual model fit or invariant
16calculation, etc), or as a 'Project' (everything you have done since starting your *SasView* session).
17
18Edit
19----
20The Edit option allows you to:
21
22- undo/redo your recent changes;
23- copy and paste parameters between *SasView* analysis windows;
24- copy parameters from a *SasView* analysis window to the Clipboard as either tab-delimited text (compatible with Microsoft Excel) or LaTex-wrapped text;
25- generate a summary 'Report' of the most recent analysis performed;
26- reset parameter values in the P(r) Inversion analysis page.
27
28View
29----
30The View option allows you to:
31
32- show the Batch Fitting Results Panel if it has been closed;
33- show/hide the Data Explorer Panel;
34- show/hide the Toolbar of icons below the Menu Bar;
35- select the default location that *SasView* looks in for data to analyse (the *SasView* installation directory, the initial default, or a custom folder). NB: any change only takes effect when *SasView* is restarted;
36- change the default assignment of categories (*Shapes*\, *Shape-independent*\, *Structure Factor*\) for fitting model functions.
