ABSTRACT:
A method to easily draw a graphic having many control points using graphical icons. The control points necessary for defining a graphic are displayed on an icon display screen together with a graphical icon. Information on the operation sequence for the control points is also displayed on the screen by blinking the control points. The state of the control points specified by the user is displayed in the form of animation by a control-point moving and displaying apparatus and is displayed on a graphical display screen in the form of drawing points. When a user draws a graphic, he or she can quickly and clearly tell which points at which positions of a graphic should be specified in what sequence, and the present step of the drawing process.
