 # Customisation

-BEC Widgets are designed to be used with QtDesigner to quicly design GUI.
+## Leveraging BEC Widgets in custom GUI applications

+BEC Widgets can be used to compose a complete Qt graphical application, along with
+other QWidgets. The only requirement is to connect to BEC servers in order to get
+data, or to interact with BEC components. This role is devoted to the BECDispatcher,
+a singleton object which has to be instantiated **after the QApplication is created**.
+
+A typical BEC Widgets custom application "main" entry point should follow the template
+below: 
+
+```
+import argparse
+import sys
+
+from bec_widgets.utils.bec_dispatcher import BECDispatcher
+from qtpy.QtWidgets import QApplication
+
+# optional command line arguments processing
+parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="...")
+parser.add_argument( ...)
+...
+args = parser.parse_args()
+
+# creation of the Qt application
+app = QApplication([])
+
+# creation of BEC Dispatcher
+# /!\ important: after the QApplication has been instantiated
+bec_dispatcher = BECDispatcher()
+client = bec_dispatcher.client
+client.start()
+
+# (optional) processing of command line args,
+# creation of a main window depending on the command line arguments (or not)
+if args.xxx == "...":
+    window = ...
+ 
+# display of the main window and start of Qt event loop
+window.show()
+sys.exit(app.exec())
+```
+
+The main "window" object presents the layout of widgets to the user and allows
+users to interact. BEC Widgets must be placed in the window:
+
+```
+from qtpy.QWidgets import QMainWindow
+from bec_widgets.widgets import BECFigure
+
+window = QMainWindow()
+bec_figure = BECFigure(gui_id="my_gui_app_id")
+window.setCentralWidget(bec_figure)
+
+# prepare to plot samx motor vs bpm4i value
+bec_figure.plot(x_name="samx", y_name="bpm4i")
+```
+
+In the example just above, the resulting application will show a plot of samx
+positions on the horizontal axis, and beam intensity on the vertical axis
+(when the next scan will be started).
+
+It is important to ensure proper cleanup of the resources is done when application
+quits:
+
+```
+def final_cleanup():
+    bec_figure.clear_all()
+    bec_figure.client.shutdown()
+
+window.aboutToQuit.connect(final_cleanup)
+```
+
+Final example:
+
+```
+import sys
+from qtpy.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication
+from bec_widgets.widgets import BECFigure
+from bec_widgets.utils.bec_dispatcher import BECDispatcher
+
+# creation of the Qt application
+app = QApplication([])
+
+# creation of BEC Dispatcher
+bec_dispatcher = BECDispatcher()
+client = bec_dispatcher.client
+client.start()
+
+# creation of main window
+window = QMainWindow()
+
+# inserting BEC Widgets
+bec_figure = BECFigure(parent=window, gui_id="my_gui_app_id")
+window.setCentralWidget(bec_figure)
+
+bec_figure.plot(x_name="samx", y_name="bpm4i")
+
+# ensuring proper cleanup
+def final_cleanup():
+    bec_figure.clear_all()
+    bec_figure.client.shutdown()
+
+app.aboutToQuit.connect(final_cleanup)
+
+# execution
+window.show()
+sys.exit(app.exec())
+```

 ## BECDockArea
 The `bec.gui` object is your entry point to BEC Widgets. It is a [`BECDockArea`](/api_reference/_autosummary/bec_widgets.cli.client.BECDockArea) instance that can be composed of multiple [`BECDock`](/api_reference/_autosummary/bec_widgets.cli.client.BECDock)s that can be attached / detached to the main area. These docks allow users to freely arrange and customize the widgets they add to the gui, providing a flexible and customizable interface to visualize data. 

+**Schema of the BECDockArea**
+
+![BECDockArea.png](BECDockArea.png)
+
 ## Widgets
 Widgets are the building blocks of the BEC Widgets framework. They are the visual components that allow users to interact with the data and control the behavior of the application. Each dock can contain multiple widgets, albeit we recommend for most use cases a single widget per dock. BEC Widgets provides a set of core widgets (cf. [widgets](#user.widgets)). More widgets can be added by the users, and we invite you to explore the [developer documentation](developer.widgets) to learn how to create custom widgets.
 For the introduction given here, we will focus on the `BECFigure` widget, as it is the most commonly used widget for visualizing data from BEC. The same access pattern can be used for all other widgets.

 [`BECFigure`](/api_reference/_autosummary/bec_widgets.cli.client.BECFigure) is a widget that provides a graphical user interface for creating and managing plots. It is a versatile tool that allows users to create a wide range of plots, from simple 1D waveforms to complex 2D scatter plots. BECFigure is designed to be user-friendly and interactive, enabling users to customize plots and visualize data in real-time.
 In the following, we describe 4 different type of widgets thaat are available in BECFigure.

+# Buttons Widgets
+
+This section consolidates various custom buttons used within the BEC GUIs, facilitating the integration of these
+controls into different layouts.
+
+## Stop Button
+
+**Purpose:**
+
+The `Stop Button` provides a user interface control to immediately halt the execution of the current operation in the
+BEC Client. It is designed for easy integration into any BEC GUI layout.
+
+**Key Features:**
+
+- **Immediate Termination:** Halts the execution of the current script or process.
+- **Queue Management:** Clears any pending operations in the scan queue, ensuring the system is ready for new tasks.
+
+**Code example:**
+
+Integrating the `StopButton` into a BEC GUI layout is straightforward. The following example demonstrates how to embed
+a `StopButton` within a GUI layout:
+
+```python
+from qtpy.QtWidgets import QWidget, QVBoxLayout
+from bec_widgets.widgets import StopButton
+
+
+class MyGui(QWidget):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.setLayout(QVBoxLayout(self))  # Initialize the layout for the widget
+
+        # Create and add the StopButton to the layout
+        self.stop_button = StopButton()
+        self.layout().addWidget(self.stop_button)
