1. A method for selecting electrical stimulation parameters for a leadwire implanted in patient tissue, the method comprising: for each of a plurality of values for a particular stimulation parameter, each value corresponding to a respective current field, obtaining, by a computer processor, clinical effect information regarding a respective stimulation of the patient tissue produced by the respective current field at each of a respective plurality of locations about the leadwire; displaying a graph plotting the obtained clinical effect information against values for the particular stimulation parameter and the locations about the leadwire; receiving a user selection of a point on the graph, wherein the point corresponds to a first value of the particular stimulation parameter and a first location about the leadwire; initiating a signal, by the computer processor, to program an implantable pulse generator with the first value of the particular stimulation parameter and a selection of one or more electrodes on the leadwire corresponding to the first location about the leadwire to produce a stimulation; and stimulating patient tissue using the programmed implantable pulse generator, the first value of the particular stimulation parameter, and the selection of the one or more electrodes on the leadwire.
