    165165.. _New_Plugin_Model: 
    166166 
    167 New Plugin Model 
     167Add Custom Model 
    168168^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
    169169 
    170170Relatively straightforward models can be programmed directly from the SasView 
    171 GUI using the *New Plugin Model Function*. 
     171GUI using the *Plugin Definition* Function.

    173173.. image:: new_model.png 
     
    185185 
    186186A model file generated by this option can be viewed and further modified using 
    187 the :ref:`Advanced_Plugin_Editor` . 
     187the :ref:`Model_Editor`. 
    188188 
    189189**SasView version 4.2** made it possible to specify whether a plugin created with 
     
    217217a P(Q) model has been selected). 
    218218 
    219 Sum|Multi(p1,p2) 
    220 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
     219 
     220.. Model_Editor: 
     221 
     222Model Editor 
     223^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
     224 
     225Selecting "Edit Custom Model" option opens the editor window. 
     226 
     227.. image :: model_editor_empty.png 
     228 
     229Initially, the editor is empty. A custom model can be loaded by clicking on the *Load plugin...* button and choosing one of the existing custom plugins. 
     230 
     231Once the model is loaded, it can be edited and saved with *Save* button. 
     232Saving the model will perform the validation and only when the model is correct it will be saved to a file. 
     233Successful model check is indicated by a SasView status bar message. 
     234 
     235When *Cancel* is clicked, any changes to the model are discarded and the window is closed. 
     236 
     237 
     238For details of the SasView plugin model format see :ref:`Writing_a_Plugin` . 
     239 
     240To use the model, go to the relevant *Fit Page*, select the *Plugin Models* 
     241category and then select the model from the drop-down menu. 
     242 
     243 
     244.. Plugin_Manager: 
     245 
     246Plugin Manager 
     247^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
     248 
     249Selecting the *Manage Custom Models* option shows a list of all the plugin models in the plugin model folder, on Windows this is 
     250 
     251  *C:\\Users\\{username}\\.sasview\\plugin_models* 
     252 
     253You can add, edit, duplicate and delete these models using buttons on the right side of the list. 
     254 
     255.. image:: plugin_manager.png 
     256 
     257 
     258Add a model 
     259^^^^^^^^^^^ 
     260 
     261Clicking the "Add" button opens the Model Editor window, allowing you to create a new plugin as described above. 
     262 
     263Duplicate a model 
     264^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
     265 
     266Clicking the "Duplicate" button will create a copy of the selected model(s). Naming of the duplicate follows the standard, with added * (n)* to the plugin model name, with *n* being the first unused yet integer. 
     267 
     268Edit a model 
     269^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
     270 
     271When a single model is selected, clicking this button will open the Advanced *Model Editor* allowing you to edit the 
     272Python code of the model. 
     273If no models or multiple models are selected, the *Edit* button is disabled. 
     274 
     275Delete Plugin Models 
     276^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
     277 
     278Simply highlight the plugin model(s) to be removed and click on the "Delete" button. The operation is final. 
     279 
     280*NB: Models shipped with SasView cannot be removed in this way.* 
     281 
     282 
     283Add/Multiply Models 
     284^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
    221285 
    222286.. image:: sum_model.png 
     
    230294     Plugin Model = scale_factor * (model1 * model2) + background 
    231295 
    232 In the *Easy Sum/Multi Editor* give the new model a function name and brief 
     296In the *Add/Multiply Models* give the new model a function name and brief 
    233297description (to appear under the *Details* button on the *FitPage*). Then select 
    234 two existing models, as p1 and p2, and the required operator, '+' or '*' between 
     298two existing models, as model_1 and model_2, and the required operator, '+' or '*' between 
    235299them. Finally, click the *Apply* button to generate and test the model and then click *Close*. 
    236300 
    237 Any changes to a plugin model generated in this way only become effective *after* it is re-selected 
    238 from the plugin models drop-down menu on the FitPage. If the model is not listed you can force a 
    239 recompilation of the plugins by selecting *Fitting* > *Plugin Model Operations* > *Load Plugin Models*. 
    240301 
    241302**SasView version 4.2** introduced a much simplified and more extensible structure for plugin models 
    242 generated through the Easy Sum/Multi Editor. For example, the code for a combination of a sphere model 
     303generated through the Add/Multiply Models editor. For example, the code for a combination of a sphere model 
    243304with a power law model now looks like this:: 
    244305 
     
    275336that was not possible in earlier versions of SasView. 
    276337 
    277 .. _Advanced_Plugin_Editor: 
    278  
    279 Advanced Plugin Editor 
    280 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
    281  
    282 Selecting this option shows all the plugin models in the plugin model folder, on Windows this is 
    283  
    284   *C:\\Users\\{username}\\.sasview\\plugin_models* 
    285  
    286 You can edit, modify, and save the Python code in any of these models using the 
    287 *Advanced Plugin Model Editor*. Note that this is actually the same tool as the :ref:`Python_shell` . 
    288  
    289 For details of the SasView plugin model format see :ref:`Writing_a_Plugin` . 
    290  
    291 .. note:: Model files generated with the Sum/Multi option are still using the SasView 3.x model format. Unless you are confident about what you are doing, it is recommended that you only modify lines denoted with the ## <----- comments! 
    292  
    293 When editing is complete, select *Run* > *Check Model* from the *Advanced Plugin Model Editor* menu bar. An *Info* box will appear with the results of the compilation and model unit tests. The model will only be usable if the tests 'pass'. 
    294  
    295 .. image:: ../calculator/new_pycrust_example_2.png 
    296  
    297 To use the model, go to the relevant *Fit Page*, select the *Plugin Models* 
    298 category and then select the model from the drop-down menu. 
    299  
    300 Any changes to a plugin model generated in this way only become effective *after* it is re-selected from the model drop-down menu on the FitPage.

    309 Load Plugin Models 
    310 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
    311
