Abstract
An information processing device includes an element deforming section for transfer-deforming at least one of divided plurality of elements of a graphic character; and an output section for alternately outputting first display data of the element after being transfer-deformed by the element deforming section and second display data of the element before being transfer-deformed by the element deforming section by switching the first display data and the second display data. According to the described arrangement, a dynamic image of the graphic character can be displayed on a screen in such a manner that only a portion as desired of the element which constitutes the graphic character can be displayed on the screen. As a result, a dynamic image of the character or drawing can be displayed in a manner as desired by the user with ease without requiring a complicated process.
