PCT No. PCT/JP86/00347 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 18, 1987 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 18, 1987 PCT Filed Jul. 5, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO87/00320 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 15, 1987.A method of designing a cubic receptacle which determines the form of the receptacle in consideration of an internal capacity of the receptacle or an amount of material required for manufacturing the receptacle to prepare a two-dimensional pictorial image of the receptacle of which form is thus determined with a label being attached thereon to appraise the pictorial image thus obtained. To carry out the above design, a computer and various input/output units are used. In addition, a designing method particularly suitable for determining the form of a receptacle of body of revolution. Such a determination of the form is made using a coordinate input unit. Moreover, a technique is provided for representing a three-dimensional body in a two-dimensional manner, especially to a techique for representing a cubic receptacle on which a label is attached in a two-dimensional manner. In addition, a special algorithm is used for representing an impression of material quality of the receptacle. Further, a method of forming vector data of special character font suitable for a work for attaching a label including character on a cubic receptacle.
