Select pattern information with . In order to display the pattern of the selected pattern information on the display device 4, the display control device 3 uses the selected pattern information to control the arrangement of the pattern with respect to the figure, the display state, and the data necessary for displaying the pattern. It was configured to control input.

By using the above means, it is possible to easily input a pattern according to a format determined for each figure.

Furthermore, in response to a pattern input instruction from the input device 1, the pattern selection device 2 uses the graphic information to select one or more pieces of pattern information for each graphic from the pattern information table. Then, the pattern selection device 7 selects one of the selected pattern information for default display according to predetermined conditions and passes it to the display control device 3. Furthermore, the selected pattern is clearly shown to the user as a selection candidate on the display device 4, and when the user uses the input device 1 to specify one of the selection candidates, that pattern is displayed in the selection 2. It was configured so that This allows the pattern to be changed until a display confirmation instruction is given.

The following means facilitates the pattern change operation during pattern input.

Furthermore, according to an instruction from the input device 1, the contents of the pattern information stored in the pattern storage device 6 or the pattern information registered as a file in the file storage device 9 are deleted.
