Abstract
A hand-written graphic form inputting apparatus by which a plurality of hand-written graphic forms can be inputted efficiently is disclosed. When a hand-written graphic form inputted from a graphic form inputting device is recognized so as to produce graphic form candidates and the graphic form candidates thus produced are stored into a graphic form candidate buffer, a graphic form relation determination device determines the correlation between the inputted graphic form inputted and the graphic form candidates. The graphic form determination device determines a most likely graphic form candidate from among the graphic form candidates in accordance with a result of a determination from the graphic form relation determination device. A graphic form position determination device determines the size of the graphic form to be displayed on a display device in accordance with a result of the determination from the graphic form relation determination device and a graphic form position determination device determines the orientation of the graphic form to be displayed on a display device in accordance with a result of the determination from the graphic form relation determination device.
