GRAPHIC PARAMETER SETTING AND PLOTTING METHOD.

摘要

This invention relates to a graphic parameter setting and plotting method which can set rapidly and easily suitable graphic parameters sufficient to form a graphic in a desired size at a desired position on a plotter sheet and which can suitably make plotting. The profile shape of a plotter sheet and the figure as the object of plotting are drawn in the same scale on a display screen in accordance with the selection of the plotter sheet to be used for plotting (S1, S2) and when a scale value is thereafter inputted manually so as to change the magnification of plotting, the figure as the object of plotting is either enlarged or reduced on the display screen (S6, S7). When the correction position of the origin of the figure on the screen is inputted manually in order to change the plotting position, the figure as the object of plotting moves on the screen (S8, S9). On the other hand, the profile shape of the sheet does not change on the screen and eventually, the plotting image which represents visually the estimated plotting result in accordance with the graphic parameters is drawn on the screen. Thereafter, plotting is made by a plotter true to a specified plotting image in accordance with the graphic parameters wich are made definite by an operator (S10).
