Abstract: Ten years ago Glagolevskij and Gerth proposed a modelling method to construct the magnetic field out of its sources and vortices. The sources can be positioned inside and/or outside the star, filling by their superposed fields the entire space - the magneto-sensitive atmosphere included. On the basis of matrix and vector algebra there have been developed computer programs to calculate the stellar magnetic field by a straightforward strategy, thereby fitting to the observational facts. The review points only to some main aspects of the Magnetic Charge Method of magnetic modelling and refers to the literature.
