Working with crosses in Grid view
Basic visual element used for connecting a cylinder with a key is a cross.
Crosses are added to the lockchart by double-clicking in a selected cell which is at the intersection of cylinder's row and key's column.
Visual highlights are added to chosen row and column to help users make sure that the cross is added in appropriate cell.
Adding a cross to the grid also adds horizontal line within cylinder's row to highlight the connection.
To remove a cross users double click withing the cell and the cross is immediately removed from the lockchart.
Users can also right-click on the cell with a cross and click on Clear button
Crosses can be added not only one-by-one, but also in groups.
