This article deals with setting up and using the external programming environment PyCharm to call programs in the 2D model of TRIK Studio.
This will allow experienced TRIK Studio users to use all the features of professional text editors and their plugins: static analyzers, auto formatters, color themes.
It also tells how to automatically run the program on several fields, which can be useful for participants of competitions with automated checking systems.
It is assumed that the user is writing a program in an external editor and would like to run this program on one or more fields. Fields can be presented both in the .xml format (more details in the article "2D model tuning"), and in the.qrs format.
Download run_2d_model.cmd file for Windows or run_2d_model.sh for Linux and place it in the folder where TRIK Studio is installed.
Place the fields on which you want to test the program in a separate folder. If the fields are in .xml format, create an empty default.qrs project in this folder.
Instructions tested on PyCharm Professional Edition (2019.3). You can download PyCharm from the official website.
1. Open the source code folder in PyCharm with File → Open.
2. ChooseFile → Settings or press the key combination «Ctrl+Alt+S».
3. ChooseTools → External tools and click on the «+».
4. In the Name field, enter the desired name of the tool, for example, «run_2d_model». In the Program field, type your path to the file run_2d_model.cmd.

If an error occurs, select Settings → Tools → Terminal and enter your path to the cmd.exe file (shell path). Then click Apply.
