DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the pattern input device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The hardware configuration of the pattern input device of this embodiment will be described with reference to the block diagram shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the present apparatus, a CPU 1 that controls the entire device, a ROM 2 that stores a program executed by the CPU 1, a RAM 3 that stores pattern data and the like,
The hard disk 4, a keyboard 5 for inputting characters and symbols, control commands and the like, a mouse 6, a CRT 7 for displaying figures and messages, and a digitizer 8 for inputting patterns are respectively connected.

The CRT 7 constitutes the display means of the present invention, the mouse 6 constitutes the designation means, and the CPU 1 constitutes the pattern display control means, calculation means, calculation result display means and display change means.

Next, the operation of the graphic processing apparatus of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the CPU 1 displays the pattern A selected by the operator on the CRT 7 as shown in FIG. 4 based on the pattern data input from the digitizer 8 (step 10, hereinafter abbreviated as S10). In this state, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the operator has selected, for the pattern A, a straight line portion or a curved portion (including an arc, a circle, etc. around a point) whose length is to be calculated. (S20).

Here, the operator operates the mouse 6 to
When the mouse cursor 6b displayed on the CRT 7 is moved to the straight line portion B where the length of the pattern A is to be calculated and the left button 6a (not shown) provided on the mouse 6 is pressed, , It is determined that the straight line portion B has been selected (S20: Yes).

Next, the CPU 1 causes the selected straight line portion B
Is calculated based on the pattern data of pattern A (S50). This processing step functions as the calculation means.

Further, the CPU 1 secures a memory for a small image (64 dots in each of the vertical and horizontal directions in the present embodiment), and in S10, the pattern A displayed on the CRT 7 is reduced to a size capable of being drawn in the image. It is created and stored in the memory (S60), and based on the created data, the pattern image a is displayed at the lowest position of the calculation result display area of the CRT 7 as shown in FIG. 6 (S7).
0). At this time, in order to emphasize the calculated portion, as shown in FIG. 5, the portions other than the calculated portion are thinly drawn, and the calculated portion is displayed with a thick line. Further, the calculation result of the length of the straight line portion B obtained in S50 is displayed next to the reduced view of the pattern A in the calculation result display area as shown in FIG. 6 (S
80). The processing steps of S70 and S80 function as the calculation result display means.

Further, the RAM 3 stores information regarding the display state of the calculation result display area, such as the total number of measurement results displayed so far, and from which of a plurality of measurement results is displayed. Therefore, the CPU 1 updates the information regarding these display states (S90). The processing step of S90 functions as the display changing unit.

Next, in S20, when the straight line portion or the curved portion whose length is to be calculated is not selected (S20: NO), the process proceeds to S30. In S30, C
PU1 determines whether or not the scroll bar C provided at the right end of the calculation result display area is operated by the mouse 6, and if the scroll bar C is not operated (S
30: NO), and then it is determined whether or not a measurement end button (not shown) has been pressed (S40). If the operator presses the measurement end button (S40: Y
ES), when the measurement process is completed and the measurement end button is not pressed (S40: NO), the process returns to S20 and waits until the next straight line or the like is selected.

Next, when the scroll bar C is operated (S30: YES), the CPU 1 determines whether the type of the operated scroll bar C is the upper scroll (S110), and the scroll is the upper scroll. If (S110:
If YES, the process proceeds to S120, and if it is not the up scroll (S110: NO), it means that the down scroll is operated, so the process proceeds to S130.

In S120, the CPU 1 causes the RAM 3
By changing the information related to the display status of the calculation result display area stored in the display, the measurement results currently displayed in the calculation result display area are shifted down one by one, and the previous measurement is moved to the top position. Make the results visible. For example, when the operator scrolls up once when the calculation result display area is in the display state as shown in FIG.
The display state of the calculation result display area is changed to the state shown in FIG.

Further, in S130, the CPU 1 causes the R
By changing the information about the display state of the calculation result display area stored in AM3, the measurement results currently displayed in the calculation result display area are shifted up one by one, and the measurement result displayed in the bottom position is moved to the next one. Display the measurement results. For example, when the operator scrolls down once when the calculation result display area is in the display state as shown in FIG. 6, the display state of the calculation result display area is changed to the state as shown in FIG. To be done.

As a result, the operator can easily confirm past measurement results and can easily return to the original display state.

The processing steps S30, S110 to S130 function as the calculation result display control means.

As described above, in the graphic processing apparatus of this embodiment, when the length of the straight line portion or the curved line portion selected by the operator is calculated and the result is displayed, the portion of the portion is calculated together with the calculated result. By displaying the pattern image indicating which has been calculated, the operator can see at a glance which part of the pattern has been calculated.

Further, the calculation results are successively displayed in the calculation result display area, and the past measurement results can be displayed retroactively by operating the scroll bar as necessary, so that the operator can calculate the past calculation results. It is easy to use because there is no need to write down the results. In particular, it is effective when the length of the stitched portion between the two patterns is calculated and checked.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
The present invention is not limited to these examples and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the present embodiment, the lengths of the straight line portion and the curved line portion of the pattern are calculated, and the pattern image is displayed together with the calculation result. However, the corners of the pattern can also be specified. A pattern image may be displayed by adding a mark or the like indicating which corner has been calculated together with the calculated angle.

Further, the pattern grading process can be adapted, and when the lengths of the straight line portion and the curved portion of the same portion are calculated for the patterns developed in respective sizes, one pattern image and You may control so that the calculation result of size may be displayed.

[0027]

As is apparent from the above description, the graphic processing apparatus of the present invention changes the display of the calculation results of the straight line portion, the curved portion, the corner portion and the like which form the pattern displayed on the display means. Since the means is configured to change and display another calculation result which has already been calculated, the operator can easily refer to the past calculation result, which is convenient.
