Input conversion means 7 including a conversion processing section 702 and a transfer processing section 703
and standard format data 8 read from the storage medium 5,
It is composed of graphic/image data 9 in a data format that can be processed by the graphic/image processing program 6, and an input/output conversion table 10 that the conversion processing unit 302 and conversion processing unit 702 refer to when converting the format of the graphic/image data. There is.

Referring to Figure 2, the input/output conversion table IO is a two-dimensional table in which the program names 11 of graphic/image processing programs are arranged vertically and the data names 12 of each graphic/image processing program are arranged horizontally. Then, in the 1st place of each data name, the column position 13 and size 14 in the data format specific to the graphic/image processing program, the column position 15 and size 16 in the standard format, and the default value 17 of the data are listed. is set.

This human output conversion table IO is created in advance for several types of graphic/image processing programs, and when a new graphic/image processing program is created, the program name 11 and each data for that graphic/image processing program are stored. Addition of information such as name 12 to the input/output conversion table 10 is performed. Note that the standard format of graphic/image data is determined at the time of creating the input/output conversion table 10.

Next, the operation of the graphic/image data storage device of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

First, the figure/image processing program 1 performs output processing,
The operation of outputting the figure/image data 2 to the storage medium 5 is started, thereby the output conversion means 3 is activated, the transfer processing section 301 imports the figure/image data 2 into the output conversion means 3, and the conversion processing section 302 While referring to the input/output conversion table IO, each data of the figure/image data 2 is converted into a standard format to create standard format data 4, and the storage processing unit 303 stores the standard format data 4 on the storage medium 5.
