The specific operation of the conventional editing apparatus having the data protection function configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 46 to 54. FIGS. 46 to 54 specifically show changes and states of the screen display of the editing apparatus having the data protection function according to the related art. (Originally, it is preferable that these figures are denoted by the same figure numbers as (a), (b),..., But the numbers are bothersome for the convenience of electronic filing. In this case, FIG. The same applies to the drawings except for the drawing 58.) In this example, an overlap type multi-window system is adopted. 46 to 54, the display device 221 is a CRT, and FIG.
Windows A and B are windows under the management of an editing device having a data protection function. The conversation right of the window, that is, the object such as the mouse is in the window A. A pointer indicated by an arrow in the window A indicates a position pointed by the mouse as the pointing device 222. Now, in FIG. 46,
Three data figures a, b, and c newly created by the data creation unit 217 are displayed. In the vertical relationship, FIG. A is the lowest and FIG. C is the highest.

Next, when the figure b is selected by the data selection unit 202 from this state, the display on the CRT is as shown in FIG. This selection is made by the operator operating the pointing device 222 to move the pointer over the graphic and then performing a click operation (a short press of the selection button 223 such as a mouse).
The selected data is enclosed by a dotted rectangular selection frame. 47 to 54 are omitted because the windows A and B and the display device 221 shown in FIG. 46 are complicated.

Next, under the instruction of the operator, a menu selection is requested from the pointing device control section 218, a pull-down menu is displayed by the menu control section 219, and then the fixed attribute setting section 204 is selected. FIG. 48 shows the state in which it is closed. Further, when the selected data becomes a fixed attribute by the fixed attribute setting unit 204, the state shown in FIG. 49 is obtained. Note that, in FIG. 49 to FIG. 54, when the fixed attribute is set, the data is shown with a thick line width so that the data can be easily distinguished from data for which the fixed attribute is not set. However, in actual display on a CRT, the line width is not always large. By the way,
The editing device according to the related art cannot create data that cannot be selected by an operator as a loaner or a user of the editing device as in the background attribute according to the present invention.

Next, following the state shown in FIG. 49, when the operator selects the figures a and b, the state shown in FIG. 50 is obtained. Further, in order to move the graphics a and b to the tray, the pointing device control unit 218 requests a menu selection, and the menu control unit 219 displays a pop-up type menu. As shown in FIG. In this menu, "cut" indicating movement to the tray, "copy" indicating copying to the tray, "paste" indicating copying from the tray, and "movement / deformation" are displayed as options. FIG. 52 shows a state in which only the standard attribute graphic a being selected by the tray movement processing unit 212 has been moved to the tray unit 211. Thus, the graphic b that the operator attempts to move to the tray is not actually moved to the tray because of the fixed attribute.

Further, the operator requests menu selection via the pointing device control unit 218 in order to use the data stored in the tray, and the data addition processing unit 213 is selected by the operation of the menu control unit 219. Is shown in FIG. Data addition processing unit 213
5 is added as a standard attribute to the data table unit 201 as shown in FIG.
The state becomes 4. At this time, the position to be added is indicated by the position of the pointer, and the added figure a is the highest in the vertical relationship of the figures.

From the state shown in FIG. 54, in order for the vertical relationship between the graphic b and the other graphic to be the highest, the operator on the lending side of the apparatus temporarily changes the fixed attribute of the graphic b to the standard attribute. After that, they must be moved via the tray. Similarly, in order for the vertical relationship of the graphic a to be at the bottom of the other graphic, data other than the graphic a is brought above the graphic a by the above operation, and as a result, the graphic a The only way is to get to the bottom.

[0012]

As described above, in an editing apparatus having a data protection function according to the prior art, data that cannot be selected cannot be created. Data of a fixed attribute and data of a standard attribute are simultaneously selected. In this case, there are many functional restrictions such as that only standard data can be moved to the tray against the intention of the operator, and there is no means for easily changing the hierarchical relationship of data.

[0013] By the way, when data and reports created by other departments and teachers are created, documents and reports are shared by companies, and answers to questions given to students by education are created.

Since it is not the gist of the present invention, it is omitted. next,
The specific contents of the above components in terms of hardware and software will be briefly described.

Data table section 101, temporary tray section 1
08, a semiconductor memory is mainly used as a storage element such as the tray unit 111, and is basically a RAM. Basic programs of various processes such as the movement processing unit 109 and the menu control unit 119 are mainly incorporated in a ROM constituted by storage elements such as a semiconductor memory and a magnetic disk, and some programs are stored or can be stored in the RAM. It has become. These processes are performed under the control of a microcomputer built in an editing apparatus having a function of protecting the data. The addition and creation of new data by the operator is performed by operating the pointing device 122 such as a mouse and a keyboard, the selection button 123, etc. while referring to the display on the display device 121 such as a CRT, etc. Done.

Further, a dictionary is provided for convenience of data editing and data itself, and a learning function, a window selection display function, and a conversation right changing function are also added. Next, regarding data management, various types of data stored in the data table unit 101 include a data attribute column, a data type column, a vertical relationship column, and a data number column in the data table unit 101. Registered in a data registration unit (not shown). In the data registration unit, the attribute column of the data includes 1 if the data is a background attribute, 2 if the data is a fixed attribute, 3 if the data is a standard attribute, and an operator (particularly a person who lends and uses the apparatus, such as a student in education, The number is always 3 if it is created by the student), the data type column is a character number of W for windows, D for figures, and C for others, and each data type is displayed on the CRT in the vertical relationship column. The upper / lower relationship at the time of doing is registered by a number,
The larger the number is, the higher the number is, the higher the number is (the priority is given to the display on the CRT). Due to its nature, the same number may be attached to a plurality of data. In the data number column, if the data is a window, upper case alphabets such as A, B and C are added, and if the data is graphics and other data, a, b and c and lower case alphabets are sequentially added.

FIG. 55 shows this concept (note that () in the vertical relation column will be described later). The data registration unit plays a role of a gateway and a key in operating the data of the borrower of the apparatus. That is, for example, when the attribute of the stored data is changed, the operator (in this case, in principle, the person who lends the present apparatus, in the case of education, a teacher) uses a mouse or the like to display a specific figure displayed on the CRT 121. , The data selection unit 1
02, the description in the data attribute column of the figure stored in the data registration unit can be changed. Thereafter, a new number corresponding to the attribute specified by the operator is assigned. FIG. 56 shows a basic flow when the standard attribute is changed to the fixed attribute as an example of this operation.

Next, in the case of deleting, moving, copying, etc. of a figure, when the rented operator deletes a figure displayed on the CRT 121, for example, the deletion processing section 10
Before deleting a figure designated by the operator with the mouse 122 or the like, the numeral 7 checks the numerical value in the data attribute column of the data registration unit. If the figure number is 1, the deletion is not performed, and if the figure number is 3, the registration of the data registration unit is deleted, and the storage of the data itself is also deleted. FIG. 57 shows a basic flow of this operation. In this embodiment,
This flow is also applied mutatis mutandis to the password verification described later. In this case, instead of the inspection of the data attribute number of the designated figure by the deletion processing unit, the password collation unit compares the password entered by the loaned operator with the password previously entered by the lending operator. After that, predetermined processing is instructed to the processing section.

Next, regarding the selection of the priority when displaying a plurality of figures on the CRT 121 or the like, the display unit 120 is used.
Refers to the upper / lower relationship in the data registration unit of the data designated for display, and displays the data having the largest numerical value as it is. Thereafter, when displaying the next largest data, it is determined whether or not the display range overlaps with the data having the highest priority, and only the non-overlapping portion is displayed. This operation is repeated for data having a lower priority than the above, that is, the display overlapping portion with the priority data is determined, and the display of only the portion excluding the same is repeated. FIG. 58 shows this basic flow. In this flowchart, the existence of data of the same height, the content of processing according to the protection attribute, the method of investigating overlapping portions of data, that is, grasping and recognizing the geometric shape of the data on the CRT plane Whether the CRT display surface or data is used as a reference, the deletion process and the like when displaying the overlapped portion of lower data on the CRT based on these becomes complicated, not only in window systems but also in video games and the like. Not shown because of the well-known technique employed.

Further, the change of the hierarchical relationship of data is performed by changing the numerical value of the hierarchical relationship column of the data registration unit. At this time, for example, in the data shown in FIG. 55, the graphic shown by the second line 4-D-13-d is
When the operator performs an operation so as to be below the graphic shown by -D-C-e, the vertical relationship column of the data on the second line is 7, and that of the data on the third line is 8. In addition to the above, if there is no other data having a value of 13 in the vertical relationship column, the numbers of the graphics whose numbers in the vertical relationship column are 7 or more and 12 or less also increase by one as shown in parentheses in FIG. If there is another data having a value of 13 in the upper / lower relationship column, the numbers of the data in the column of 7 or more are all 1
Increase by one.

Since it is a well-known technique described in handbooks and magazines such as “NWARE”, its description is omitted.

For this reason, the present embodiment is based on the above configuration with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 44, that is, the operation and the function of the present invention which can sufficiently meet various demands of the main user of the present invention. The explanation focuses on the content and direct effects. First, the basic operations, functions, and direct effects of the invention of claims 1 and 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.
It is explained based on.

FIG. 2 is a specific screen display example of the editing apparatus having the data protection function of the present embodiment. In this embodiment, an overlap type multi-window system is adopted. The display device 121 in FIG. 2 is a CRT, and windows A and B are windows in which an editing device having a data protection function is operating. The window A has the conversation right of the window. The pointer employs a TRON operating system, and the shape of the wrist in FIG. 2 is called a “selection finger”, and the fingertip is a pointing device 12 such as a mouse.
2 means indicating the pointed location. In FIG. 2, three data figures a, b, and c newly created by the data creation unit 117 are displayed. As for the vertical relationship of the data, FIG.
Is the top.

Next, when the figure b is selected by the data selection section 102 from this state, the display on the CRT is as shown in FIG. Note that this selection is performed by the operator operating the pointing device 122 to move the pointer over the graphic and clicking (by pressing the selection button 123 for a short time). The selected figure is surrounded by a dotted rectangular selection frame. The “broken arrow” in FIG. 2 in FIG. 2 indicates that the button has been pressed. However, the windows A and B shown in FIG. 2 and the display device 12 shown in FIG.
1 is omitted.

A menu selection is requested from the pointing device control unit 118 in accordance with an instruction from the operator.
A menu of a pop-up type is displayed by the menu control unit 119, and when the fixed attribute setting unit 104 is selected, the state shown in FIG. The selected data is the fixed attribute setting unit 1
FIG. 5 shows the state of FIG. However, in FIG. 5 and subsequent figures, when the fixed attribute is set as in FIGS. 46 to 54 according to the related art, the line width is displayed thick to distinguish it from the unset data. In the CRT display, the line width is not always thickened, and other means such as a frame with a color depending on the preference and consideration of the operator, and particularly no display is used. Note that the shape of the open wrist in the figure b in this figure is called a “moving hand”, and means that the figure currently pointed can be grasped for movement or the like (then it is possible to press and drag to move the figure). Show.

When the upper left figure a is set to the fixed attribute using the same procedure as in FIGS. 3 to 5, the state shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. Further, when the figures a and c are selected by the data selection unit 102, the state shown in FIG. 7 is obtained. In this figure, the shape of the wrist in which the two fingers in the figure c are open is referred to as a “correction selection finger”, indicating that correction selection is to be performed. When a menu selection is requested from the pointing device control unit 118 and the standard attribute setting unit 103 is selected by the menu control unit 119, the state shown in FIG. Further, when the protection attributes of the selected graphics a and c are processed by the standard attribute setting unit 103 to become the standard attributes, the state shown in FIG. 9 is obtained.

When the graphic c is selected by the data selection unit 102, the state shown in FIG. 10 is obtained. Here, when a menu selection is requested from the pointing device control unit 118 and the background attribute setting unit 105 is selected by the menu control unit 119, the state shown in FIG. 11 is obtained. The selected figure c becomes a background attribute by the processing of the background attribute setting unit 105, and the background attribute setting unit 105 further changes the data sorting unit 11.
5 is executed, the state is changed to be below the figures a and b in which the standard attribute and the fixed attribute are set, and when the selected state is released, the state of FIG. 12 is obtained. In FIG. 12 and subsequent figures, a figure with a background attribute set is indicated by a dashed line so that it can be distinguished from a figure without a background attribute set. However, in an actual CRT display, it is not necessarily indicated by a dashed line. This is not always the case, and other means such as no display and a special color frame are employed as in the case of the fixed attribute in FIG.

When a menu selection is requested from the pointing device control unit 118 and the background attribute release unit 106 is selected by the menu control unit 119, the state shown in FIG. 13 is obtained. The figure c having the background attribute becomes the standard attribute by the background attribute setting unit 105, and when the figure c is selected by the data selection unit 102, the state shown in FIG. After the graphic b is selected following FIG. 12, when the background is set by the background attribute setting unit 105, the state shown in FIG. 15 is obtained. Here, the processing of the data rearranging unit 115 is executed by the background attribute setting unit 105, and the graphic b is set below the graphic a where the standard attribute is set and above the graphic c where the background attribute is set. And the selected state is released.

Next, operations and the like according to the third, fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. When the figures a and b are subsequently selected from FIG. 12, the state shown in FIG. 16 is obtained. The operator requests a menu selection from the pointing device control unit 118 to delete the graphics a and b.
FIG. 17 shows a state where 07 is selected. Delete processing unit 1
At step 07, the currently selected standard-attribute graphic a is deleted, and the fixed-attribute graphic b remains as it is, as shown in FIG.

Continuing from FIG. 16, the operator drags the figures a and b within the rectangular selection frame of the currently selected data group (when the selection button 123 is kept pressed, the rectangular selection frame is moved as shown in FIG. 19). Only the figure a having the standard attribute is surrounded.In this figure, the wrist holding the object in the figure b is called "grip", indicating that it can be moved by dragging.) At this time, the movement processing unit 109 moves the data of the graphic a in the data table unit 101 to the temporary tray unit 108. As shown in FIG. 20, when the operator moves the pointing device 122 while dragging, the pointer and the rectangular selection frame move. When the operator finishes dragging, the movement processing unit 109 converts the data of the graphic a stored in the temporary tray unit 108 into
At this time, the rectangular selection frame is added to the data table 101 so as to be at the displayed position, and the figures a and b are returned to the selection frame state again, resulting in the state of FIG.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 16, when the operator copies and drags the figures a and b within the rectangular selection frame of the selected data group to copy the figures a and b (holds down the selection button 123 and the menu button 124), FIG. Thus, the rectangular selection frame surrounds the figures a and b having the standard attribute and the fixed attribute. At this time, the copy processing unit 110 stores the data of the graphics a and b in the data table unit 101 in the temporary tray unit 108.
Duplicate to As shown in FIG. 23, when the pointing device 122 is moved while the operator performs copy drag, the pointer and the rectangular selection frame move. When the operator finishes the copy drag, the copy processing unit 110 adds the data of the graphics a and b stored in the temporary tray unit 108 to the data table unit 101 so as to be at the position where the rectangular selection frame is displayed at that time. Then, the state shown in FIG. 24 is obtained. At this time, the vertical relationship of the data is
The copy a2 and the copy b2 of b are the highest.

Next, operations and the like according to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, which are operations mainly associated with operations on the loan side such as students, will be described with reference to FIGS. Following FIG. 16, as in FIG. 19, when the operator drags in the rectangular selection frame of the selected data group to move the graphics a and b, the state shown in FIG. 25 is obtained. At this time, the movement processing unit 1
09 moves the data of the graphic a in the data table unit 101 to the temporary tray unit 108. When the pointing device 122 is moved while the operator is dragging, the pointer and the rectangular selection frame move, and the pointer and the rectangular selection frame can also move to the window B area as shown in FIG. When the operator finishes dragging, the conversation right of the window is switched from window A to window B. At this time, the contents of the temporary tray unit 108 of the window A move to the temporary tray unit 108 of the window B. The movement processing unit 109 of the window B adds the data of the graphic a stored in the temporary tray unit 108 of the window B to the data table unit 101 of the window B so that the data of the figure a is displayed at that time. 27 is reached. Note that the window switching operation is not the gist of the present invention, and is a well-known technique as described above, so that the details thereof will be omitted.

Following FIG. 16, FIG. 28 shows a state in which the operator copies and drags the figure a or b in the rectangular selection frame of the currently selected data group as in FIG. At this time, the copy processing unit 110 sets the data table unit 1
01 is copied to the temporary tray unit 108. At this time, if the pointing device 122 is moved while the operator holds the copy-drag, the pointer and the rectangular selection frame move, and the pointer and the rectangular selection frame can also move to the window B area as shown in FIG. When the operator ends the copy drag, the conversation right of the window is switched from window A to window B. At this time,
The contents of the temporary tray unit 108 of the window A move to the temporary tray unit 108 of the window B. The copy processing unit 110 acting on the window B stores the data of the graphic a stored in the temporary tray unit 108 of the window B so that the data of the graphic a is located at the position where the rectangular selection frame is displayed at that time. To the state shown in FIG.

Next, the operation and the like according to the sixth and seventh aspects of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG.
6, the operator attempts to move the graphics a and b to the tray, and the pointing device controller 118
FIG. 31 shows a state where the tray movement processing unit 112 is selected by the menu control unit 119 from the menu control unit 119.
I will show you. The standard attribute graphic a being selected is moved to the tray unit 111 by the tray movement processing unit 112, and the fixed attribute graphic b is copied to the tray unit 111, and the state shown in FIG. 32 is obtained. The operator requests the menu selection from the pointing device control unit 118 in order to use the data stored in the tray, and the menu control unit 119 shows the state in which the data addition processing unit 113 is selected in FIG.
I will show you. Tray unit 11 by data addition processing unit 113
1 are added to the data table unit 101 as standard attributes, and the state shown in FIG. 34 is obtained.
At this time, the added position is the position of the pointer, and the added figures a and b2 are at the top in the vertical relationship.
However, windows A and B of FIG. 2 and the display device 121 are omitted in FIG. 31 and subsequent figures, similarly to the case of FIG. 3 to FIG.

Subsequently to FIG. 16, the operator requests a menu selection from the pointing device control unit 118 to copy the graphics a and b to the tray, and the menu control unit 119 determines that the tray copy processing unit 114 is selected. As shown in FIG. Even if the figures a and b being selected by the tray copy processing unit 114 are copied to the tray unit 111,
There is no change on the screen and it remains as in FIG. In order for the operator to use the data stored in the tray, a menu selection is requested from the pointing device control unit 118 and the data addition processing unit 1 is controlled by the menu control unit 119.
FIG. 36 shows a state where 13 is selected. The graphics a and b stored in the tray unit 111 by the data addition processing unit 113 are added to the data table unit 101 as standard attributes, and the state shown in FIG. 37 is obtained. At this time, the position to be added is the position of the pointer, and the added figures a2 and b2 are at the top in the vertical relationship. FIG.
6 and FIG. 20, the selected menu is different,
This is when adding from the tray section to the data table section,
This is due to the difference between whether the content of the tray is deleted (moved from the tray) or left as it is (copied from the tray), and is not the gist of the present invention.

Next, the operation and the like according to the eighth and ninth aspects of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG.
Following FIG. 2, when the operator selects the graphic b using the pointing device 122, the result is as shown in FIG. The operator requests the menu selection from the pointing device control unit 118 so that the graphic b is at the bottom of the vertical relationship of the data.
FIG. 39 shows a state in which the data rearranging unit 115 is selected by No. 19. By the data rearranging unit 115,
The graphic b is changed so as to be below the graphic a with the standard attribute set and above the graphic c with the background attribute set, resulting in the state of FIG.

Next, the operation and the like according to the tenth aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 41, there are three pieces of data a, b, and c that can execute an application newly created by the data creation unit 117. These are, for example, icons. For this reason, its basic configuration is basically the same as that of the icon system in both hardware and software. Therefore, the description is omitted. The data a is a standard attribute, the data b is a fixed attribute, and the data c is a background attribute. In order for the operator to execute the application corresponding to the data a, the pointing device 122
When the pointer is moved over the data a by using and double-clicked (pressing the selection button 123 twice in a short time), the data a is selected by the data selection unit 102, and the data execution unit 116 The application corresponding to the data a is started, and a new window C is generated as shown as an example in FIG. The same operation is performed when the operator executes the data b. When the operator moves the pointer over data c using pointing device 122 and double-clicks as shown in FIG. 43 in order to execute the application corresponding to data c, data execution unit 116 responds to data c. The new application D is started, and a new window D is generated as shown as an example in FIG. At this time, the data c having the background attribute is not in the selected state.

As described above, in the editing apparatus having the data protection function, the data protection attribute that can be selected by effectively combining existing technologies can be changed only by menu selection. At this time, since the data of the background attribute cannot be selected, it is not deleted or moved due to an erroneous operation or the like. Even when the selected data is deleted, the data with the fixed attribute is not deleted, so that it is possible to prevent deletion due to an erroneous operation. When the selected data is moved, erroneous operation or the like can be prevented because the data of the fixed attribute is not moved. When copying the selected data, the fixed attribute data is copied as the standard attribute data, so that the fixed attribute data can be copied by a simple operation. Moving and duplicating between windows is similarly easy. When moving to the tray, both the standard attribute data and the fixed attribute data move as standard attribute data, so that the data selected against the operator's intention may not be in the tray. Can be prevented. Data can be rearranged only by selecting a menu regardless of the standard attribute or the fixed attribute. When rearranging the hierarchical relationship of data, if you try to rearrange the selected data at the bottom, the lowest and existing background attribute of the data group with the existing standard attribute and fixed attribute is set Change to the top of the data group, selectable data (standard attribute and fixed attribute data) are rearranged under non-selectable data (background attribute data), and finally select It is possible to prevent only the data of the background attribute that cannot be collected from collecting on the top. By rearranging the backgrounded data, non-selectable data does not remain on the selectable data and does not hinder the selection of selectable data. In addition, since the background attribute can be set to the standard attribute and the data group with the background attribute set to the standard attribute can be selected, the operator can easily understand the data with the background attribute set to the standard attribute and prevent erroneous operations. Also, the operation of selecting data with the background attribute set to the standard attribute by the operator can be omitted.

Further, the data rearranging section does not rearrange the selected data at the bottom, but rearranges the data one by one, so that a fine rearranging process can be realized. In addition, by attaching a password to each data, it becomes possible to prevent the protection attribute of the data other than the operator who knows the password from changing. And
As a result, theft of certain data can be reliably prevented. As described above, the processing related to the setting of the password is widely used not only in the computer system as described above, but also in everyday things such as the account number in the automatic teller machine of the bank, so the description of both hardware and software is omitted. .

Further, by newly extending protection attributes such as an attribute that cannot be deleted but can be moved but cannot be deleted,
Can have many protection attributes. Furthermore, for example, by canceling the background attribute of the data specified by using a double-click, it is possible to return only the data having an arbitrary background attribute to the standard data from the data having a plurality of background attributes. .

As described above, the present invention has been described mainly based on the operation and functions based on the embodiments. However, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. That is, the components and the flowcharts in the above embodiment are merely examples, and other components are adopted. A plurality of components are combined into one component. One component is manufactured by a plurality of components. The flowchart may be more complicated in order to exhibit more appropriate actions and effects according to each attribute and the like according to another flow. Furthermore, for example, as long as the gist of the present invention is included, the following is of course included.

A printing means is added. There will be multiple CRTs. The existing editing device is modified or added from the hardware side and the software side to add a function according to the present invention. It has a function that can add data by using additional equipment such as a floppy disk.

A mark corresponding to the type of the protection attribute on the figure;
Color and the like are additionally displayed. A display function to that effect is added in order to increase the learning effect for an operator's operation error. Speech and pronunciation means are added for language education. A function for enlarging and reducing the designated figure in only one direction, changing an arbitrary angle, and adding and changing colors is added.

Another attribute is added to the data created by the student.

[0068]

As described above, in the editing apparatus having the data protection function according to the present invention, as compared with the editing apparatus according to the prior art, the direct effect is constant by effectively combining the conventional techniques. The data of this type is not only malicious, but also prevents the conversion and deletion of data due to erroneous operations or arbitrary operations, prevents theft of important data, etc.Data attributes are diverse, easy to operate, and editing such as changing the vertical relationship of figures The content will be rich. In addition, since existing programming technology, microcomputer technology, and the like are effectively incorporated, it can be realized at low cost.

Therefore, as a final and ultimate effect, creation of materials and reports by sharing responsibility of a company,
Examination of changes in paper layout during printing at publishers and newspaper companies.Application to letterpress production for newly printed paper in conjunction with the subsequent printing press, use as educational material in education, especially painting and aesthetics Alternatively, it can be used effectively in drawing education in mathematics, creation of a report, use as a toy such as a video game, and the like, and furthermore, it can be expected to be inexpensive and further adopted.
