Abstract
A figure editing apparatus for editing figure sets each comprising a set of a plurality of basic figures includes a first memory for storing, in correlated form, each figure set and the plurality of basic figures constituting the figure set, a second memory for storing, in correlated form, each figure set and an area corresponding to the figure set, a third memory for storing, in correlated form, the basic figures and areas corresponding to the basic figures, and an adding/deleting unit for designating an area corresponding to a figure set or basic figure, thereby to add a basic figure to or delete the basic figure from the first memory. The editing of figure sets, each of which comprises a set of a plurality of basic figures, and particularly the editing of a graphical program, is simplified.
