v17 v18 88 88 '''Statement of Problem to address:''' 89 89 90 Currently addition of a new model in C requires a rebuilding of the SasView GUI application. Furthermore it requires the creation/editing of a lot of different files and is anything but straightforward making the learning curve quite steep. Finally, while a user can simply add a custom python model, that model does not have access to the necessary polydispersity calculation. Also not clear how the python model code can call a C model (to enhance for example). Making the addition of a C model simple and allowing python model to work properly with polydispersity would have a HUGE impact. New models are probably the single most important thing for the user community and with this change model addition can be removed from the core developer group tasks to being something instrument scientists and power user can do.90 Currently addition of a new model in C requires a rebuilding of the !SasView GUI application.

(Should SasView compile the models?)100 * Adding a new model in C (for speed) should consist of writing only one file and may possibly require compiling of the model into a shared library file (how does one handle multiple platforms?) (Should !asView compile the models?) 101 101 * Adding a new model in C or python consists of dropping the appropriate file into the models directory for discovery by the running application (not GUI bits at this point -- applications can send to GUI bits) 102 102 * GUI must update available models while running … … 115 115 * Implementation 116 116 * Refactor model code as per design above 117 * Create/write discovery process in SasView fitting so that computational code updates list of known models to use in fitting118 * Create link to SasView GUI so that GUI also updates models available to GUI users while running117 * Create/write discovery process in !SasView fitting so that computational code updates list of known models to use in fitting 118 * Create link to !SasView GUI so that GUI also updates models available to GUI users while running
