CONSTITUTION:When an information processing to store a document file in a floppy disk is performed, the icon 17 of the document file is displayed superposing on the icon 18 of the floppy disk, and at a time when they are superposed, the icon 17 of the document file is generated as the pattern netted as a whole to represent that 100% of the document is included, meanwhile, the pattern of the icon 18 of the floppy disk is generated as the one on which a part representing an already satisfied ratio is netted.
