ABSTRACT:
A method for the entry of a graphic character displays a character in a graphic file on a display unit through a graphic processor having a graphic display function, which involves specifying a parallelogram in a space in which the graphic character to be displayed exists and a character code of the graphic character in defining the graphic character; and creating a graphic character data of the graphic character by determining an attribute representing a geometric shape of the graphic character on the basis of the parallelogram and the number of characters of the character code. The arrangement of this method allows the graphic processor to enter graphic characters efficiently in displaying characters on the graphics.
