All plugins can be created from Data->New Plugins... or from the Data Manager, and all data objects resulting from plugins can be seen in the Data Manager.

To quickly apply fit or filter plugins to a set of data, you can right click on the data plot under any mouse modes, and choose the Fit or Filter submenu in the context menu.
