    431 This function provides a model-specific random parameter set which shows model  
    432 features in the USANS to SANS range.  For example, core-shell sphere sets the  
    433 outer radius of the sphere logarithmically in `[20, 20,000]`, which sets the Q  
    434 value for the transition from flat to falling.  It then uses a beta distribution  
    435 to set the percentage of the shape which is shell, giving a preference for very  
    436 thin or very thick shells (but never 0% or 100%).  Using `-sets=10` in sascomp  
    437 should show a reasonable variety of curves over the default sascomp q range.   
    438 The parameter set is returned as a dictionary of `{parameter: value, ...}`.

     494Hollow shapes, where the volume fraction of particle corresponds to the 
     495material in the shell rather than the volume enclosed by the shape, must 
     496also define a *shell_volume(par1, par2, ...)* function.  The parameters 
     497are the same as for *form_volume*.  The *I(q)* calculation should use 
     498*shell_volume* squared as its scale factor for the volume normalization. 
     499The structure factor calculation needs *form_volume* in order to properly 
     500scale the volume fraction parameter, so both functions are required for 
     501hollow shapes. 
     502 
     503Note: Pure python models do not yet support direct computation of the 
     504average of $F(q)$ and $F^2(q)$. 
     505 
    494506Embedded C Models 
    495507................. 
     
    503515This expands into the equivalent C code:: 
    504516 
    505     #include <math.h> 
    506517    double Iq(double q, double par1, double par2, ...); 
    507518    double Iq(double q, double par1, double par2, ...) 
     
    512523*form_volume* defines the volume of the shape. As in python models, it 
    513524includes only the volume parameters. 
     525 
     526*form_volume* defines the volume of the shell for hollow shapes. As in 
     527python models, it includes only the volume parameters. 
    514528 
    515529**source=['fn.c', ...]** includes the listed C source files in the 
     
    548562The INVALID define can go into *Iq*, or *c_code*, or an external C file 
    549563listed in *source*. 
     564 
     565Structure Factors 
     566................. 
     567 
     568Structure factor calculations may need the underlying $<F(q)>$ and $<F^2(q)>$ 
     569rather than $I(q)$.  This is used to compute $\beta = <F(q)>^2/<F^2(q)>$ in 
     570the decoupling approximation to the structure factor. 
     571 
     572Instead of defining the *Iq* function, models can define *Fq* as 
     573something like:: 
     574 
     575    double Fq(double q, double *F1, double *F2, double par1, double par2, ...); 
     576    double Fq(double q, double *F1, double *F2, double par1, double par2, ...) 
     577    { 
     578        // Polar integration loop over all orientations. 
     579        ... 
     580        *F1 = 1e-2 * total_F1 * contrast * volume; 
     581        *F2 = 1e-4 * total_F2 * square(contrast * volume); 
     582        return I(q, par1, par2, ...); 
     583    } 
     584 
     585If the volume fraction scale factor is built into the model (as occurs for 
     586the vesicle model, for example), then scale *F1* by $\surd V_f$ so that 
     587$\beta$ is computed correctly. 
     588 
     589Structure factor calculations are not yet supported for oriented shapes. 
     590 
     591Note: only available as a separate C file listed in *source*, or within 
     592a *c_code* block within the python model definition file.
