Abstract
When two objects have overlapping without the intervention of another object, it is determined that the two objects are in contact with each other. Then, a second object, which reaches a state having overlapping with a first object and then reaches a state having overlapping again via a state without any overlapping during movement of the first object, is detected. When it is determined that the first and second objects are in contact with each other before and after the state without any overlapping, an information processing apparatus interchanges a hierarchical relation in Z-orders of the first and second objects.
