Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented user interface method for obtaining user input of stimulation settings of a leadwire implanted in patient tissue, the method comprising: displaying, by a computer processor, a model of the leadwire having a plurality of directional electrodes disposed at different longitudinal levels along the model of the leadwire; displaying, by the computer processor and separate from the model of the leadwire, a two dimensional map of the leadwire at a selected longitudinal level with a representation of each of the directional electrodes at the selected longitudinal level, the two-dimensional map further comprising a first ray at an angular position according to a directionality of present stimulation settings and with a length representing an amplitude setting; displaying, by the computer processor, at least one control that is user-manipulable, in response to manipulation of which, the processor is configured to rotate the first ray about a point of origin in the two dimensional map of the leadwire to a new angular position; and displaying, by the processor, at least one control that is user-manipulable for input of the amplitude setting, in response to manipulation of which, the processor is configured to modify a length of the first ray to correspond to the input amplitude setting responsive to rotation of the first ray with respect to the point of origin: in accordance with the determined one or more electrodes, at least one of:
