ABSTRACT:
An information evaluating calculator reads stored information units and calculates evaluation values for the information units while, if necessary, referring to externally stored conditions. A position calculator receives the evaluation values and converts the evaluation values to position data. An image generator generates an image for display, in which image elements represent respective information units. The image elements are arranged at positions indicated by the position data. Information units are presented in correspondence to displayed image elements by user selections.
