Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute an efficient graphic processing by designating the control system of structure due to a structure network by a user and changing the control system for each structure. CONSTITUTION:In order to control the structure as the structure network, the control method of the structure is selected corresponding to the use purpose of the structure. Namely, either a registering method due to an unpack system or a registering method due to a pack system is designated by a structure control method designating means 21 and registered to an unpack system structure registering means 221 or a pack system registering means 222. Otherwise,k the change of the structure registering method already registered by the structure control method designating means 21 is designated and the registering method is changed from the unpack system to the pack system or from the pack system to the unpack system by a structure control method changing means 23. Thus, the graphic processing can be efficiently executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a graphic processing system, and more particularly to a structure management system using a structure network using a user interface.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of graphics processing system, when structures are managed as a structure network, there is no way to specify the management method, and the graphics data in the structure is structured as a list for each primitive, and each structure is registered one by one. Each system had its own unique method of registering the graphical data in the structure as a single data column. Furthermore, there has not been a method of registering a structure network in which one or more structures are grouped together as a new structure.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] As mentioned above, in conventional structure management systems, structures are registered in a fixed manner for each system. In the case of a system that uses an ampere format registration method in which shape data is registered one by one, adding, changing,
It is very effective when editing such as deletion, but when not editing or when displaying one or more structures or the entire structure network, it is very effective.
Since the graphic data must be transferred to the graphic display system while tracing the list structure for each mitip, the efficiency of display processing is poor.In addition, the non-tsuku format registers structures that are grouped together as one data string. In the case of a system that uses the registration method, when displaying structures, it is effective to transfer the figure data to the figure display system in units of structures, or when editing figure data, it is effective. It was bad.

Furthermore, when displaying an entire structure network or multiple structures, the efficiency of editing shapes becomes very low, but it is possible to combine the shape data within a structure into one data column, and furthermore, group one or more structures together. By registering the structure as a new structure, it is possible to further improve the efficiency of the display device, but this has rarely been achieved.

As described above, if the structure management method is unique to each system, there is a problem that flexible measures cannot be taken depending on the purpose of using the structure.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problem, the structure management method in the graphic processing system of the present invention allows the structure to be used by selecting and inputting a structure management method when registering a structure in an application program as a structure network. Depending on the purpose,
The graphical data in the structure is defined as a list structure for each of the minimum constituent elements of graphical data called primitives, and the registration method is specified in amper format, which is registered one by one. You can specify the registration method in a new format by combining two or more data columns and registering them as a new structure, or change the registration method of an already registered structure from unpacked format to packed format. comprises a structure management method designation means for specifying a change from a knock format to an ant-skut format; a structure ringing means for registering a structure according to a registration method designated by the structure management method designation means; and a structure management method designation means The structure management method changing means changes a structure registration method according to a specified method, and a structure network storage device stores a structure network, and the structure registration means has a structure management method changing means that changes a structure registration method, and a structure network storage device that stores a structure network.
It has an unpacked structure registration means for V-registration in a package format and a packed structure registration means for registered in a packed format, and the management method can be specified according to the purpose of use of the structure. It is something.

[Effect]

To manage a structure as a structure network, select a structure management method according to the purpose of use of the structure, select an unpacked registration method or a packed registration method using the structure management method designation means, Register the structure using the unpacked format structure registration means or the Notesk format registration means, or further change the registration method of the structure that has already been registered using the structure management method specifying means, and use the unpacked format using the structure management method changing means. Change the registration method from to packed format, or from notock format to unpacked format.

From the unpacking method as shown in A) to the packing method as shown in FIG. 3(B), or vice versa, from the unpacking method as shown in FIG. Changing to the arm-pick method @ As shown in Figure 3 (4), in the amperage format, one structure is a list structure for each primitive, and the structure for adding, changing, and deleting primitives, etc. can be easily edited, but in order to display the structures registered in this way, it is necessary to transfer the graphic data to the graphic display system while tracing the list structure for each primitive, or to create a new This requires processing such as re-buffering the graphic data using each primitive in the buffer and transferring the data to the graphic display system, which is extremely inefficient.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3 (B), in the ・9-tsuku format,
Since the data structure is a data column for each structure, editing processing such as adding a primitive to an arbitrary position of a structure or deleting a primitive from an arbitrary position is not efficient, but the registered structure can be displayed. When doing this, the graphic data can be transferred to the graphic display system in units of one or more structures, which proves to be very efficient.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention enables the user to specify the stock chart management method by the stock chart network, and to change the management method for each stock chart, depending on the purpose of using the stock chart. For stock charts whose data is frequently edited, the graphical data in the stock chart is structured as a list for each primitive, and a management method is adopted in which the stock charts are continuously registered. In order to transfer one or more stock charts to the graphics display system at high speed, the graphics data in the stock charts are grouped together as one data example, and one or more stock charts are roughly grouped together and transferred to the next one. It is possible to respond flexibly by adopting a management method that registers a new stock character as a new stock character, and this has the effect of allowing efficient graphic processing as a whole.
