Abstract

A geometrical graphic form (for example, a straight line 100) displayed on a geometrical window GW1 is selected, and a copy operation is carried out. When pasting is carried out for a formula window CW1, the selected geometrical form object is converted into the corresponding formula (for example, y=x), and the converted formula is displayed on the formula window CW1. A display region (for example, a specified region T1) of the formula is selected, and a copy operation is carried out. When pasting is carried out for the geometrical window GW1, a functional graph graphic form 102 is displayed on the geometrical window GW1 based on the selected formula.

Claims

1. A graphic display control apparatus comprising:

a display device comprising a first screen which displays a display mode in a geometrical graphic form and a second screen which displays a display mode in a formula including a character string; and

a conversion display controller which, after a copy operation is made for one of the first screen and the second screen, when a paste operation is made for the other screen, converts a content of one display mode specified by the copy operation into the other display mode specified by the paste operation, and controls a display of the converted content on the other screen.

2. A graphic display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the conversion display controller comprises a first display controller which controls a display of a formula on the second screen when the paste operation is made for the second screen.

3. A graphic display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the conversion display controller comprises a second unit which regards as a formula a content specified during the copy operation when the copy operation is made for the second screen and displays a geometrical graphic form based on the regarded formula on the first screen when the paste operation is made for the first screen.

4. An article of manufacture comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein, the computer readable program code means comprising:

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to display function which displays a formula;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to select a part or all of the formula;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to display a plurality of deformation menus;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to select any one of the plurality of deformation menus;

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to deform a part or all of the formula selected in accordance with the deformation menu selected; and

computer readable program code means for causing a computer to display a formula after deformed.
