Creating Custom User Applications

One of the most important features of dstool is the ease with which new computational routines, constructed by the user, can be added to the program. This chapter describes the methods which may be used to enhance the capabilities of dstool, providing access to the new computational procedures through a button on the panels menu of the Command Window. The discussion which follows is comprised of two parts. First, the interface between dstool and a new computational algorithm is described. Second, the techniques used to create a panel through which the new algorithm can be controlled are outlined.
