The present invention has been made to solve the above problem, and even if the target graphic is a complex graphic, it can draw a closed loop line parallel to the target graphic without requiring much time. An object of the present invention is to provide a graphic drawing apparatus, a graphic drawing method, and a graphic drawing program.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first drawing means for drawing each line constituting an original target figure with a pixel width X in a figure drawing apparatus for drawing and visually displaying a figure. A double line parallel to the target graphic is drawn on the graphic drawn by the first drawing means by drawing each line constituting the target graphic with a pixel width Y smaller than the pixel width X using the background color. Second drawing means for drawing and third drawing means for erasing parallel lines outside the target figure out of the double lines drawn by the second drawing means are configured. .

  As described above, in the present invention, each line constituting the original target figure is drawn with the pixel width X, and each line constituting the target figure is drawn on the drawn figure from the pixel width X using the background color. In addition, by drawing with a narrow pixel width Y, a double line parallel to the target graphic is drawn, and among the drawn double lines, a line parallel to the outside of the target graphic is erased.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to draw a closed loop line parallel to the target graphic simply by drawing a line having a different pixel width based on the target graphic. Even so, it is possible to provide a graphic drawing method, a graphic drawing apparatus, and a program thereof capable of drawing a loop line without requiring much time.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a graphic drawing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The graphic drawing apparatus includes an input unit 10, a storage unit 20, a display unit 30, a print unit 40, and a control unit 50.

The storage unit 20 stores the control program of the control unit 50 and various data including control data and graphic data.

  The display unit 30 is a display unit using a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), or the like, and visually displays various information including graphics in accordance with instructions from the control unit 50. Is.

The print unit 40 prints various information including graphics on a paper medium or the like in accordance with instructions from the control unit 50.
The control unit 50 controls the respective units of the graphic drawing apparatus in an integrated manner. The control unit 50 draws a graphic in accordance with a graphic drawing program stored in the storage unit 20 and outputs the drawn graphic on the display unit 30. Or a control function for printing on a paper medium or the like through the print unit 40.

  Next, the operation of the graphic drawing apparatus having the above configuration will be described. In the following description, an operation when a loop line parallel to the target graphic is drawn inside the target graphic will be described. In response to a request from an operator through the input unit 10, the control unit 50 reads a program of a flowchart as shown in FIG. 2 from the storage unit 20, and the control unit 50 performs a control operation according to the read program. Execute.

  First, in step 2a, the control unit 50 accepts designation of a target graphic through the input unit 10, and proceeds to step 2b. The target graphic is obtained by the control unit 50 through a graphic stored in the storage unit 20 in advance or an interface (not shown). Here, it is assumed that the target figure is as shown in FIG.

  In step 2b, the control unit 50 draws each line segment of the target graphic designated in step 2a with a pixel width of “a + 2 × (b + d)” in the drawing area D using a predetermined drawing color, Control goes to step 2c. Here, “a” is the number of pixels in the width of the line segment of the target graphic, “b” is the number of pixels in the width of the loop line, and “d” is the number of pixels in the interval between the line segment of the target graphic and the loop line. (See FIG. 4). Thereby, a figure as shown in FIG. 5 is drawn. The drawing area D is a virtual drawing space on the storage unit 20.

  In step 2c, the control unit 50 draws each line segment of the target graphic designated in step 2a on the graphic drawn in step 2b with a pixel width of “a + 2 × d”, and proceeds to step 2d. The color used here is the background color. For this reason, the graphic drawn in step 2b is in a state where the overlapped portion is erased. Thereby, the figure drawn so far becomes as shown in FIG.

  In step 2d, the control unit 50 draws each line segment of the target graphic designated in step 2a on the graphic drawn up to step 2c with the pixel width of “a” in the drawing color, and proceeds to step 2e. As a result, the figures drawn so far are as shown in FIG.

  In step 2e, the control unit 50 fills the area from the outer periphery of the drawable area to the figure drawn up to step 2d with the drawing color, and proceeds to step 2f. Thereby, the figure drawn so far becomes as shown in FIG.

  In step 2f, the control unit 50 fills the area filled with the drawing color from the outer periphery of the drawable area with the background color, and proceeds to step 2g. As a result, the graphic drawn up to this point is as shown in FIG. 9, and the writing of the loop line to the target graphic is completed.

  In step 2g, the control unit 50 controls the display unit 30 and the printing unit 40 to visually display the graphic drawn on the drawing area D so far on the display unit 30 and to the paper medium from the printing unit 40. Printing is performed, and the process ends.

  As described above, in the graphic drawing apparatus having the above configuration, 1) the target graphic is drawn with a line “a + 2 × (b + d)” that is thicker than the original width “a”, and 2) the target graphic is background. By drawing with a line of width “a + 2 × d” in color, a loop line parallel to the target figure is drawn inside and outside the target figure. 3) The loop line outside the target figure is deleted, and the target figure is deleted. A loop line is drawn inside the.

  Therefore, according to the graphic drawing device having the above-described configuration, it is possible to draw a loop line parallel to the target graphic simply by drawing a line having a different pixel width based on the line segment of the target graphic. Therefore, even if the target graphic is a complex graphic, a closed loop line parallel to the target graphic can be drawn without requiring much time.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the embodiment.
