By a designated position input means 4, a position of the cursor 23 is decided definitely as a designated position, and a graphic image 24 is generated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a graphic processing device that can be used in the field of information processing for reading graphics.

Conventional technology In recent years, document processing in offices has come to handle not only text but also graphical images such as graphs and charts. Wffl, which only creates figures and tables to be inserted into the website, is also emerging. When creating diagrams using these devices, a cursor for specifying the position is displayed on the screen, and this cursor moves according to the instructions of the cursor movement keys on the mouse, tablet, or keyboard, making it easier to interact with the screen. It is possible to specify the position. Moreover, a grid or grid lines are displayed on the screen to limit the positions that can be specified to equal intervals, and to serve as a guide for specifying the position. An example of the conventional graphic processing apparatus described above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 2 (al, (bl) is the display screen during editing of the graphic processing device. 11 is the display area of the screen, 12 is the edited graphic source image, and 13 is a cursor that indicates the position coordinates manually input. Yes. 14 in Figure 2+a+ is Grift, 2nd
Figure (15 in BL is a grid line, each indicating a reference point for alignment during editing.

When editing a figure, first refer to figure 2 (grid 1 in al)
4 in FIG. 2), grid lines 15 are displayed.

Next, move the cursor 13 to the desired position and input the position. At this time, depending on the editing mode, it is possible to select whether the intersection of the grid 14 or grid lines 15 closest to the position of the cursor 13 is to be set as the specified point, or whether the position of the cursor 13 is to be used as the specified point. In the former case, the intended position can be specified without detailed specification, and even in the latter case, the grid or grid lines serve as a guide for the size of the figure and the spacing between the figures.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above processing method, although it is possible to strictly specify the vertical and horizontal positions and sizes, it is possible to specify the positions and sizes in the vertical and horizontal directions, but it is difficult to It is extremely difficult to create figures or figures that connect figures, and to specify positions so that they have similar positional relationships during editing.

The present invention overcomes the above problems, and when creating or editing figures,
The present invention provides a graphic processing device that can easily specify the position of a point on an already created graphic.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the graphic processing device of the present invention includes:
A command selecting means for instructing an operation, a figure specifying means for specifying a figure, a specified position moving means for moving a point on the figure specified by the figure specifying means as a specified position, and the specified position moving means an input section including a specified position input means for inputting a moved specified position; a figure editing section for creating and editing figure data according to input from the input section; and figure data edited by the figure editing section. The present invention is characterized by comprising a graphic storage section for storing the graphic data, and a screen display section for displaying on a screen an image of the graphic data stored in the graphic storage section.

Effect of the present invention With the above-described configuration, it is possible to use the image of the figure displayed on the screen to specify an already created figure, move a point on the figure as the specified point, and input the position when confirming. become able to.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a graphic processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a graphic processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a command selection means for instructing a figure editing operation by pressing a key corresponding to each function; 2 is a figure specifying means for selecting and specifying a figure by setting a point on the figure as a specified position and pressing a "select"key; 3 is a specified position moving means for moving a specified position by pressing the "cursor movement"key; 4 is a specified position input means for inputting the fixed specified position by pressing the "power"key; It is an input section equipped with a Reference numeral 6 denotes a figure editing section that edits manually created figures, 7 a figure storage section that stores the edited figure data, and 8 a screen display section that develops and displays the image of the stored figure data on the screen. .

FIG. 3 [al, (b), fcl] is a screen image when a new figure is created by specifying a point on an already created figure. 21 is a display area of the screen, 22 is an image of graphic data that has already been created, 23 is a cursor that indicates a specified position, and 24 is an image of a newly created graphic.

Figure 4 shows the flow of specifying one point on a figure and showing three operations.
It is a chart.

The operation of the graphic processing apparatus configured as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4.

First, a figure whose type and position are specified by input from the input section 5 is sent to the figure editing section 6, and at the same time, the figure is sent to the figure storage section 7.
The image data is stored as graphic data and displayed on the screen display section 8 as an image 22. Further, the specified position manually entered from the input section 5 is sent to the screen display section 8 and displayed as a cursor 23 on the screen 21. Next, the operation of specifying a point on the image 22 of already created graphic data when editing a graphic by the graphic editing section 6 will be explained with reference to a flow chart. When the graphic image 22 is specified by the graphic specifying means in step 31, a cursor 23 is displayed at a point on the image 22 in step 32 (FIG. 3(a)). In step 33, the next key to be input is determined. If the currently designated position is not the desired position, the "cursor movement" key is pressed, and in step 34 it is determined whether the designated position moving means 3 is instructed to move the cursor to the right or to the left. In accordance with this, and using the graphic data stored in the graphic storage section 7, the cursor 23 is moved clockwise and counterclockwise on the image 22 in steps 35 and 36, and the process returns to step 33 again (Tom in FIG. 3). . If the specified position is the desired position, the process moves from step 33 to step 37, and the position of the cursor currently displayed by the specified position input means 4 is determined as the specified position. By specifying the position in this manner, a graphic image as shown in FIG. 3 (C1) is created.

As described above, according to this embodiment, by specifying a shape that has already been created and inputting the position indicated by the cursor that moves in any direction on the shape, the position on the shape can be accurately and easily determined. It is possible to decide on one thing.

In this embodiment, the command selection means 11 the figure designation means 2. Although keyboard keys are used as the designated position input means 4, a menu on a tablet or a mouse button may also be used. Furthermore, the direction of movement of the cursor in the designated position moving means 3 is not limited to simple clockwise and counterclockwise directions, but all the movement keys (up, down, left, and right) may be activated only in directions that allow movement according to the current position. make use of .

Similarly, it may be made to correspond to the movement.
