A graphical user interface (GUI) exists for building model geometry for the time-domain field code, AMOS. This GUI has recently been modified to build models and display the results of the Poisson electrostatic solver maintained by the Los Alamos Accelerator Code Group called POISSON. Included in the GUI is a 2-D graphic editor allowing interactive construction of the model geometry. Polygons may be created by entering points with the mouse, with text input, or by reading coordinates from a file. Circular arcs have recently been added. Once polygons are entered, points may be inserted, moved, or deleted. Materials can be assigned to polygons, and are represented by different colors. The unit scale may be adjusted as well as the viewport. A rectangular mesh may be generated for AMOS or a triangular mesh for POISSON. Potentials from POISSON are represented with a contour plot and the designer is able to mouse click anywhere on the model to display the potential value at that location. This was developed under the X windowing system using the Motif look and feel.
