Method for selecting a graphic primitive and a recording medium

摘要

To select a graphic primitive hidden behind a graphic primitive displayed in foreground, a point on the display screen is pointed to by a pointing device. A CPU detects graphic primitives that include the specified point based on the position and the size indicated by the graphic primitive information stored in the system memory and further detects the smallest graphic primitive completely included in one or more graphic primitives among the detected graphic primitives. The detected smallest graphic primitive is thereafter processed as the selected graphic primitive.
