Abstract
A graphics to be edited is displayed on a display device and an operator controls a mouse to input coordinate data of two or more points. It is determined whether the curve included in the graphics should be deleted or a new curve should be added, depending on whether inputted coordinate data of two or more points conforms to points on any one of curves included in the graphics to be edited. When it is determined that the curve should be deleted, a deleting curve is generated, and when it is determined that the new curve should be added, an adding curve is generated, and the resultant is superimposed on the editing graphics and is displayed on the display device. When the operator inputs a defined operation, the graphics is corrected based on the deleting curve or the adding curve.
