Status Bar
The status
bar provides control for coordinate input with various tools. Some tools, such as Create > Draw > 
Points,
may only require a single set of coordinates, while others, such as Create > Draw > 
Rectangle, may require a sequence of coordinates.
Spatial data can be easily specified by picking relevant points in
the view window.
The locations are automatically loaded into the status bar's input fields and accepted
by the tool, ready for the next data input. The 
(Accept content) icon
remains grey, signifying that input data is automatically accepted.
Manual entry
is possible by clicking directly in the input field and either typing in coordinates,
or subsequently clicking on points in the view
window. The 
(Accept content) icon will
turn green, signifying that you must click the button to accept the
input and continue.
