Abstract

The image processing apparatus is provided with: a display that displays an object; a receiving device that receives a specified position specified by a user on the display; a holding device that holds setting of a process for the object; a judgment device that judges whether or not the specified position received by the receiving device is included in the display areas of a plural objects overlappedly; and an execution device that executes the process for selecting the plural objects of which the display areas include the specified position received by the receiving device according to the setting held in the holding device, when the judgment device judges that the specified position received by the receiving device is included in the display areas of the plural objects overlappedly.

Claims

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a display that displays an object;

a receiving device that receives a specified position specified by a user on the display;

a holding device that holds setting of a process, for the object;

a judgment device that judges whether or not the specified position received by the receiving device is included in the display areas of a plurality of the objects overlappedly; and

an execution device that executes the process for selecting the plurality of objects of which the display areas include the specified position received by the receiving device according to the setting held in the holding device, when the judgment device judges that the specified position received by the receiving device is included in the display areas of the plurality of objects overlappedly.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the holding device holds the setting for selecting the object of which the display area includes the specified position received by the receiving device.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the holding device holds the setting for selecting an object other than the object located on the upper layer among the plurality of objects of which the display areas include the specified position received by the receiving device.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the holding device holds the setting for selecting an object located on the bottom layer among the plurality of objects of which the display areas include the specified position received by the receiving device.

5. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a display that displays an object;

a receiving device that receives selection of the object by specifying the object displayed on the display;

a holding device that holds setting of a process for both the object and a different object of which the display area is overlapped with the display area of the object;

a judgment device that judges whether or not a display area of a selected object of which the selection is received by the receiving device is overlapped with a display area of a different object; and

an execution device that executes the process for selecting the selected object of which the selection is received by the receiving device and the different object according to the setting held in the holding device, when the judgment device judges that the display area of the selected object is overlapped with the display area of the different object.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the holding device holds the setting for selecting the selected object and an object located on a layer under the layer on which the selected object is located among the different object.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the holding device holds the setting for selecting the selected object and an object located on a layer above the layer on which the selected object is located among the different object.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the holding device holds the setting for selecting both the selected object and the different object of which the display area is overlapped with the display area of the selected object.

9. An image processing method comprising:

displaying an object;

receiving a specified position specified by a user;

holding setting of a process for the object;

judging whether or not the specified position is included in the display areas of a plurality of the objects overlappedly; and

executing a process for selecting the plurality of objects of which the display areas include the specified position according to the held setting, when the specified position is judged to be included in the display areas of the plurality of objects overlappedly.

10. An image processing method comprising:

displaying an object;

receiving selection of the object by specifying the displayed object;

holding setting of a process for both the object and an different object of which the display area is overlapped with the display area of the object;

judging whether or not a display area of a selected object of which the selection is received is overlapped with a display area of the different object; and

executing the process for selecting the selected object and the different object according to the held setting, when the display area of the selected object is judged to be overlapped with the display area of the different object.

11. A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing, the process comprising:

holding setting of a process for the object;

judging whether or not the specified position is included in the display areas of a plurality of the objects overlappedly; and

executing the process for selecting the plurality of objects of which the display areas include the specified position according to the held setting, when the specified position is judged to be included in the display area of the plurality of objects overlappedly.

12. The computer readable medium according to claim 11, wherein setting in the process of holding the setting is to select the object of which the display area includes the specified position.

13. The computer readable medium according to claim 11, wherein setting in the process of holding the setting is to select an object other than the object located on the upper layer among the plurality of objects of which the display area includes the specified position.

14. The computer readable medium according to claim 11, wherein setting in the process of holding the setting is to select an object located on the bottom layer among the plurality of objects of which the display area includes the specified position.

15. A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing, the process comprising:

holding setting of a process for both an object and a different object of which the display area is overlapped with the display area of the object;

judging whether or not a display area of a selected object specified by a user is overlapped with a display area of a different object; and

executing the process for selecting the selected object and the different object according to the held setting, when the display area of the selected object is judged to be overlapped with the display area of the different object.

16. The computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein setting in the process of holding the setting is to select the selected object and an object located on a layer under the layer on which the selected object is located among the different object.

17. The computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein setting in the process of holding the setting is to select the selected object and an object located on a layer above the layer on which the selected object is located among the different object.

18. The computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein setting in the process of holding the setting is to select both the selected object specified by a user and the different object of which the display area is overlapped with the display area of the selected object.
