The template has a sewing margin, which is a connecting portion for sewing with another template, in advance.
There is a paper pattern which is not added, and a paper pattern which is not added with a seam allowance is surrounded only by a finish line.

Conventionally, in this type of graphic processing apparatus,
In order to add a seam allowance to a mold piece to which no seam allowance has been added, the operator performed the following seam allowance adding process after inputting the shape (finish line) of each mold piece using a digitizer or the like. .

In this seam allowance adding process, a mold piece to which a seam allowance is to be added is displayed on a display device, and an operator designates one place of a straight line portion or a curved portion forming a finish line of the mold piece with a mouse or the like. According to the specified stitching method of the straight line portion or the curved portion, the operator designates the stitching margin width and the shape of the stitching margin to be added, and displays it on the display device.

Further, when changing the shape and width of the seam allowance added in this way, the data concerning the shape of the mold piece and the seam allowance already stored in the storage medium are read,
The operator designates a straight line portion or a curved portion whose seam allowance is to be changed with a mouse or the like, and is designed to specify the width of the seam allowance and the shape of the seam allowance which are to be changed in the same manner as before.

[0007]

However, when the material used for the mold pieces of the same design is changed, it is sometimes desired to increase or decrease the width of the seam allowance uniformly for all the related mold pieces. For example, this is a case in which the width of the seam allowance is increased by 2 mm for all the mold pieces because the cloth used is thin. In this case, in the conventional graphic processing device, the seam allowance width is changed by designating the straight line portion or the curved line portion forming the finish line of the mold piece one by one, and the same work is performed on all related mold pieces. It has to be done, which is very time-consuming and has a problem of poor work efficiency.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is convenient in that it is possible to simultaneously correct the widths of a plurality of connecting portions of the connecting portion added to each mold piece. It is intended to provide a good graphic processing device.
