Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare a unified drawing by reducing man-hour by reducing manual work for preparing a system constitutive diagram in an electronic computer system. CONSTITUTION:A definition language and a transformed graphic are inputted from an input part 1 and edited at an editor part 2, and corresponding relation is registered on a graphic transformation table 5. Next, a series of definition languages set in the case of setting a system are inputted from the input part 1 and edited at the editor part 2, and a definition language group is stored in a definition language file 3. A graphic transformation part 4 reads the definition language group from the definition language file 3 and comprehends the image of system configuration, and the graphic image is prepared by retrieving the transformed graphic from the graphic transformation table 5 and printed out of an output part 6.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a graphic creation method, and more particularly to a graphic creation method for creating a system configuration diagram from a definition language group set at the time of system creation of an electronic computer system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of graphic creation method, a ruler or the like is used to manually create an output result of a definition language set at the time of system creation while viewing the output result in a list or the like. To describe this procedure in more detail, first, the drafter understands the overall configuration from the output results of a plurality of definition languages set when the system was created, and develops a rough idea of the figure. Next, I will write this concept as a draft on the paper. At that time, the definition information of each line of the definition language is read, and the diagram is written in accordance with it. Next, review the draft again while looking at the definition language, examine whether there are any mistakes, and correct the defects. After the problem disappears, use a ruler, etc. to make a clean copy based on the draft and add the necessary explanation.

[0003]

The above-described conventional figure forming method requires a great deal of man-hours because it is all done by hand. Especially when an addition occurs in the definition language and there is no blank space in the drawing, other graphic parts must be rewritten in order to create a blank space as well as the additional part. Further, even if a figure can be written in the margin, the whole balance is lost and the drawing becomes difficult to see. Furthermore, depending on the skill level of the drafter, there will be quality differences in the created drawings. However, there is a problem that the figure becomes inconsistent when seen from a third party.

[0004]

The figure creating method of the present invention is a figure creating method for creating a system configuration diagram from a definition language set at the time of system generation of an electronic computer system. A format that is registered in advance and is edited in a format that is registered in the figure conversion table by inputting a definition language and a conversion figure, and a format that is preset by receiving a series of definition languages set when the system was created. Editor means for editing the definition language group by editing the graphic language, graphic conversion means for creating a graphic image from the definition language group and the graphic conversion table according to a notation set in advance, and a graphic image created by the graphic transforming means. And an output means for printing out.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 comprises an input unit 1, an editor unit 2, a definition language file 3, a graphic conversion unit 4, a graphic conversion table 5 and an output unit 6.

The input unit 1 edits the input of the definition language and the conversion graphic to be registered in the graphic conversion table 5 and the input of the series of definition languages stored in the definition language file 3 set at the time of system generation into a fixed format to generate the graphic. Conversion table 5
Also, the input of a series of definition languages is edited into a fixed format and stored in the definition file 3. Figure converter 4
Reads out the definition language file 3, knows the system configuration node and connection form from the definition language, understands the configuration, and again refers to the graphic conversion table 5 for each definition language to create a graphic image. The output unit 6 prints out the created graphic image.

FIG. 2 shows the format of the definition language stored in the definition language file 3 shown in FIG.
2, a name 23, a text 24, and a comment 25.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a concrete example of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and shows a case where a line connection diagram is created as an example. FIG. 3A is stored in the definition language file 3. 3B shows the contents registered in the graphic conversion table 5, and FIG. 3C shows the system configuration diagram printed from the output unit 6. In this specific example, the graphic conversion unit 4
Reads the definition language group from the definition language file 3 and identifies A
There are three processing means (¥ URC) connected to the center as the first class by knowing the processing means and the connecting means for connecting the processing means based on
As a second class, there are four processing means (¥ TC) connected via a line (¥ LINE), and as a third class, six terminal devices (¥ TERM) are connected. Recognize that. Then, based on the above recognition, the figure conversion unit 4 refers to the figure conversion table 5 with the identification A as a key, and arranges the converted figure of type A on the drawing image,
Proceed with the connection. If the converted figure cannot be limited by the content of the identification A, the converted figure is obtained by using the content of the identification A and the content of the identification B as a combination key. In addition, the name and comment included in the definition language are read and added to each figure. The output unit 6 prints out the completed graphic image by the printer.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the graphic conversion table in which the correspondence between the definition language and the conversion graphic is registered in advance and the series of definition languages set at the time of system setting,
By having graphic conversion means for creating an image diagram of the system configuration in accordance with the given element arrangement and connection standards, it is possible to output a unified system configuration diagram and change the definition language. However, since the corrected drawing can be obtained immediately, the man-hour can be greatly reduced.
