Adding interface

The "Add" button starts the regime for inputting points of a new interface. Other buttons on the same tool bar assumed for inputting and editing interface points become active. The "OK" button (tinged green) closes the input regime and stores the inputted points. The "Cancel" button (tinged red) closes the input regime without accounting for changes.

Two options are available to specify coordinates of individual interface points:

Using table: interface points are introduced in the "New interface points" table. The "Add" button opens the "New point" dialog window that allows for specifying coordinates of a new point. The "Add" button then inserts the point into the table. The "Cancel" button is serves to close the input mode when all interface points are introduced. The "Edit" and "Remove" buttons allow for either editing or deleting the inputted points. Each change in interface geometry immediately appears on the desktop.

Using mouse: individual buttons on the vertical tool drive this inputting mode. The following modes are available:

	Add point	the point is inserted by clicking the left mouse button on the desktop -  the  grid option can be exploited when inserting the point - the inputted point is automatically rounded to two decimal digits – both mouse and keyboard input modes are therefore identical
	Edit point using mouse	pressing the existing interface point using the left mouse button allows for selecting this point and then moving it to a new position
	Edit point in dialog point	clicking the existing interface point opens the dialog window that allows for modifying the point coordinates
	Remove point	pressing the existing interface point using the left mouse button opens the "Remove point" dialog window – when confirming this action the point is deleted

When inputting points, it is possible to utilize the template obtained from import DXF.

The program allows also for introducing vertical interfaces – in such a case the program requests to insert the point either to the left or to the right. The buttons that serve to confirm the action are colored – the same color is also used to visualize both input variants on the desktop.

The "OK" button (tinged green) is used to store the inputted interface when all interface points are introduced.

The program also contains an automatic corrector of inputted interface that determines the interface end points and then adds the interface to the list of interfaces.
