GRAPHIC EDITING DEVICE

PURPOSE:To prevent a straight line entering a correction area from being cut when a diagram which is once drawn is corrected. CONSTITUTION:The coordinates of four ends in the area (broken line frame 42) of a graphic which is designated and moves are stored in an area memory (S120). A relative moving amount is calculated in accordance with a designated moving destination and it is stored in a moving amount memory (S140). A coordinate atleration processing is executed based on data stored in the area memory and the moving amount memory (S150). Namely, all the inputted graphics are checked whether they are at the inner side of the moving area 42 or at the other areas. When all of them are at the inner side, the moving processing of the graphic is executed. In the other cases, a line end is checked to exist at the inner side of the area 42 only when the graphic is the straight line. When the line and exists at the inner side of the area 42, the line end is moved. The processing is executed by CPU.
