Abstract

The graphical display adjusting system of the present invention comprises: a function of selecting types of data by specifying a display area of an axis on a screen; a function whereby when the selected axis is moved on the screen, while being dragged, a graph of the corresponding data is scrolled with the movement thereof, and a function whereby when a wheel of a mouse is rotated in one direction, with the axis being specified, the corresponding data is displayed in an enlarged scale and when the wheel is rotated in the reverse direction, the corresponding data is displayed in a reduced scale.

Claims

1. A graphical display adjusting system comprising:

means for selecting types of data which is an object of a scaling operation by specifying a display area of an axis on a screen by a pointing device; and

means for scrolling a graph of the type of data by another operation of the pointing device with the axis being specified.

4. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 1, wherein the operation of the pointing device for performing scrolling of data is performed by dragging on the axis display area on the screen.

6. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 1, wherein the operation of the pointing device for performing enlarged display or reduced display of the data is performed by rotating a wheel.

8. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 1, wherein specification of the display area of the axis on the screen where the type of data is selected is performed by clicking a mouse.

10. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 1, wherein the display area of the axis on the screen where the type of data is selected is specified by bringing the cursor position to the area.

2. A graphical display adjusting system comprising:

means for selecting types of data which is an object of a scaling operation by specifying a display area of an axis on a screen by a pointing device; and

means for displaying a graph of the type of data in an enlarged or reduced scale by another operation of the pointing device with the axis being specified.

5. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 2, wherein the operation of the pointing device for performing scrolling of data is performed by dragging on the axis display area on the screen.

7. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 2, wherein the operation of the pointing device for performing enlarged display or reduced display of the data is performed by rotating a wheel.

9. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 2, wherein specification of the display area of the axis on the screen where the type of data is selected is performed by clicking a mouse.

11. A graphical display adjusting system according to claim 2, wherein the display area of the axis on the screen where the type of data is selected is specified by bringing the cursor position to the area.

3. A graphical display adjusting system comprising:

means for selecting types of data which is an object of the scaling operation by the first operation which specifies a display area of an axis on a screen by a pointing device;

means for scrolling a graph of the type of data by the second operation of the pointing device with the axis being specified; and

means for displaying a graph of the type of data in an enlarged or reduced scale by the third operation of the pointing device with the axis being specified.

12. A graphical display adjusting system comprising:

means for selecting types of data by specifying a display area of an axis on a screen by a pointing device; and

means for temporarily eliminating a graph of an unnecessary type of data from the screen by issuing a temporary elimination command with the axis being specified.
