Scorecard algorithms data structure
Scorecard algorithms are stored in text files. Rows of the scorecard
algorithm are divided by newlines. Each scorecard item is separated
from the previous/next by a comma and has a numeric 'weight' assigned
as a number. The only items without an assigned weight are the headers
of rows and columns (see table score_card_table and figure score_card_picture
).

Using scorecard algorithms
Scorecards are selected in the main Algs_dir window, either with
the keyboard, by pressing space, or with the mouse, by clicking
on them with the left button. The selected alg is then displayed
in a new window.
Each scorecard element can be selected by clicking on it with
the mouse left button. Once completely filled, the scorecard can
be processed upon pressing the submit button. A simple report message
will appear, showing, for each diagnostic category, the sum total
of all the selected options times their corresponding ``weightings''
(see picture score_card_usage).
