ABSTRACT:
A graphic data output apparatus for creating and outputting graphic data including text or character data is provided with a superimposed text extracting device for extracting text superimposed on other text, a frequency measuring device for measuring the frequency of superimposition of the text at each available angle of the superimposed text and a text angle changing device for changing an angle of superimposed text so as to minimize a frequency of superimposition of the text. The superimposed text extracting device includes an approximation unit for approximating each superimposed text and other text into a rectangle or a circle. The frequency measuring device includes a text detecting unit for detecting text superimposed on an origin of other text and identifying the text from the other text. The text angle changing device includes an origin including text processing unit for changing an angle of the text from which text superimposed on an origin of other text is excluded. Further, there is provided a method of outputting graphic data capable of creating and outputting a plot drawing with convenient visual checking of the text without superimposition thereof.
