An input section in the program itself? That's a fairly big thing.

Nothing overwhelmingly complex, my current plans basically call for a simple table-based window that's essentially what was in the latest version but a more user-friendly form.

Just finished my latest update. After two months of updating pretty much everything's been changed. This update focused primarily on the GUI. The whole thing has been completely redone. Instead of a single static window as before, it's now been split into three independent panels that can be scrolled individually. The regional panel has had some of the biggest changes, it's now a proper table of results rather than the scribbled mass it was before.

Thanks to these updates the program no longer has issues with larger data sets. Before the number of political divisions and parties were pretty much limited to what fit on the screen. Now you can fit as many parties and provinces as you want, the window will be adjusted to fit.

So, what are the operating requirements for this program?

Fairly low, even on a lower end system it should only take a few seconds at worst. It's a one time calculation so you can run it regardless of your system, it will just change the time it takes to load. About the only necessity is have a screen wider than 600 pixels, so unless your monitor is a 640x480 you should have no problems viewing it.

If you do catch any errors or bugs just let me know.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see anywhere to input the information. I've attached a screenshot of my window. Am I doing anything wrong?

You're probably missing the input file, make sure you have the ElectionsIn.txt file in the same folder as it. 

You insert your data in there for the moment, it's not the ideal set-up so I'm hoping to add a window for input in the next update. If you're having trouble understanding the input file the basic usage instructions are outlined in the README file.

It's no problem, any problems users have operating this just give me a better idea on how to improve this program
