Abstract

An image-data display system includes: a display-related-information acquiring unit that acquires a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object; an output-image-data generating unit that acquires instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size; and a display device that displays the object image according to the display size, and executes display processing based on the instruction image data.

Claims

1. An image-data display system, comprising:

a display-size acquiring unit that acquires a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

an instruction-image-data acquiring unit that acquires instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size; and

a display device that displays the object image according to the display size, and executes display processing based on the instruction image data.

2. The image-data display system according to claim 1, wherein the instruction image data includes data indicative of an actual size length between the two positions.

3. The image-data display system according to claim 1, wherein the display device enlarges or reduces the object image to the display size.

4. The image-data display system according to claim 1, further comprising

an output-image generating unit that controls a dot size of the object image based on the display size and a dot pitch of a display surface of the display device, wherein

the display device displays the object dot by dot.

5. An image-data output device, comprising:

a display-size acquiring unit that acquires a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

an instruction-image-data acquiring unit that acquires instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size; and

an output unit that outputs, to a display device, the object image, the instruction image data, and the display size.

6. An image-data output device, comprising:

a display-size acquiring unit that acquires a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

an instruction-image-data acquiring unit that acquires instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size;

a dot-size control unit that controls a dot size of the object image based on the display size and a dot pitch of a display surface of a display device; and

an output unit that outputs, to the output device, the object image after the control by the dot-size control unit and the instruction image data.

7. An image-data output device, comprising:

a display-size acquiring unit that acquires a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

an instruction-image-data acquiring unit that acquires instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size;

a dot-size control unit that controls a dot size of the object image based on the display size and a dot pitch of a display surface of a display device;

an output unit that outputs the object image after the control by the dot-size control unit to a first memory, and an instruction image generated based on the instruction image data to a second memory; and

an image combining unit that combines the object image stored in the first memory and the instruction image stored in the second memory.

8. An image-data output device, comprising:

a print-size acquiring unit that acquires a print size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

an instruction-image-data acquiring unit that when the object image is displayed according to the print size, acquires instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size;

a dot-size control unit that controls a dot size of the object image based on the print size and a resolution of a printer; and

an output unit that outputs, to the printer, the object image after the control by the dot-size control unit, and the instruction image data.

9. An image-data display method, comprising:

acquiring a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

acquiring instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size;

displaying the object image according to the display size; and

executing display processing based on the instruction image data.

10. A recording medium that stores a program causing a computer to execute:

acquiring a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

acquiring instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size; and

outputting, to a display device, the object image, the instruction image data, and the display size.

11. A recording medium that stores a program causing a computer to execute:

acquiring a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object;

acquiring instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size;

controlling a dot size of the object image based on the display size and a dot pitch of a display surface of a display device; and

outputting, to the display device, the object image after the control by the dot-size control unit and the instruction image data.
