When the text creation process is completed, the initial menu screen is displayed again. When the operator selects the graph/figure creation process, the graph/figure creation function becomes operational and the operator uses this function to create a desired graph or figure. The created graph or figure is written to an external storage medium. When the graph figure creation process is completed, the initial menu screen is displayed again. If the operator wishes to create a document containing a graph figure, the operator selects the merge process and specifies the document and graph figure created as described above. Then, the merge processing function calls up the designated characters and graph figures from the external storage medium, merges these documents and the graph figures, and creates ] document data.

Documents and graph figures are called up using names assigned to them in advance. FIG. 6 shows the formation of document data in which document data and graph graphic data are merged. In the IT diagram, DH is the document header,
DD indicates document data, and GD indicates graph graphic data. Document control information such as a document header DHKH, document name, creation date, creator, and document size are written. Furthermore, the location (page number) and name where graph graphic data is to be inserted can be written in the document header DH. When the operator instructs to display the merge result, the seventh
A screen like the one shown will be displayed. At this time, the framed control string is not displayed. The document data containing graph figures shown in FIG. 6 is stored in this format or transmitted to other systems. Further, when the operator instructs printing, a document similar to that shown in FIG. 7 is printed out.

A figure is composed of multiple basic figures.
It refers to graphical elements such as points, line segments, circles, arcs, triangles, and quadrilaterals, as well as template figures that represent judgment, display, and input/output. FIG. 8 shows an example of a template graphic. A collection of one or more basic figures is called a segment.

This segment is the unit of graphics inserted into the document.

FIG. 10 shows another example of graph graphic data GD. In the example of FIG. 10, the graph graphic data GD is composed of graphic data corresponding to each of a plurality of segments, and graphic control information such as position information and the length of the graphic data.
