ABSTRACT:
A drawing which is drawn on a personal computer includes plural drawing elements and is displayed on a display unit of the personal computer. An editing area and a location to which the editing area is moved are specified by means of a pointing device such as a mouse. Coordinates of the editing area are stored in an area memory. A relative moving distance is calculated from coordinates of the specified location. The calculated relative moving distance is stored in a moving distance memory. A coordinate changing process is effected using data stored in the area memory and the moving distance memory. In the coordinate changing process, it is judged whether individual drawing elements are located inside the editing area. The drawing element which is located inside the editing area is subjected to a moving process. When a drawing element is located across a boundary of the editing area, only a part of the drawing element that is located inside the editing area is moved to the specified location.
