Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for selecting electrical stimulation parameters for a leadwire implanted in patient tissue, the method comprising: receiving, by a computer processor, user input of a point within a graph, the user input provided by point and click within the graph, the graph plotting obtained therapeutic effect and adverse side effect values for a plurality of values of a particular stimulation parameter against locations about the leadwire, the user-input point corresponding to a single value for the particular stimulation parameter and a single location about the leadwire; determining, by the processor, a combination of values for the particular stimulation parameter for each of a plurality of electrodes of the leadwire; and at least one of (a) displaying on a monitor, by the processor, the determined values of the particular stimulation parameter or (b) initiating, a signal, by the processor, to apply the determined values of the particular stimulation parameter to an implanted pulse generator that causes the leadwire to produce a stimulation.
