GGU-STABILITY: "Define slip bodies via lines, rectangles/quadrilaterals" menu item

Using this menu item a family of slip bodies can be generated using the mouse, with relatively little effort. You can select from a variety of methods in a dialog box. After selecting the method to be adopted and entering the subdivisions in a dialog box, the selected element (line, rectangle, etc.) is displayed on the screen. In this manner you have an example for application of the individual procedures and, in analogy, can subsequently try out your own definitions.

For example, define slip bodies by means of "1 rectangular search box". The number of the polygons is varied according to the defined array subdivision and the size of the box subsequently represented on the screen. The array points then represent the slip body polygon points.
