1. An electronic device comprising:
- a display device including a touch panel; and
a processor which;
generates a graph screen that includes a two-dimensional graph image as an object of one or more objects therein;
displays the graph screen on the display device;
when a touch operation onto one of the objects in the graph screen on the touch panel is detected, stores the touched object in a memory in relation with coordinates of the touch position and, when a swipe operation separate and distinct from the touch operation on the touch panel is detected after detection of the touch operation, executes at least one of a plurality of processes different from each other in accordance with the touched object stored in the memory;
wherein the graph screen further includes and displays an x axis and a y axis as additional objects of the one or more objects therein, the generated graph screen including only the x axis and the y axis as the axes of the graph screen displayed on the display device, and when the touched object is one of the x axis and the y axis, the executed process comprises;
redrawing the graph screen on the display device to scroll the graph screen in a direction of the other of the x axis and the y axis in accordance with a direction and a speed of the swipe operation detected after detection of the touch operation on the one of the x axis and the y axis, the direction of the swipe operation being at least generally along the other of the x axis and the y axis and the graph screen being redrawn so that coordinate ranges along the other of the x-axis and y-axis are changed by an amount which is based on the direction and the speed of the swipe operation; and
when a swipe operation on the touch panel is detected and a separate and distinct touch operation is not detected before the swipe operation, redraws the graph screen on the display device to scroll the graph image in accordance with a direction and a speed of the swipe operation.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a display device and a processor. The display device includes a touch panel. The processor (i) generates a graph image to be displayed on the display device, (ii) when the generated graph image is displayed on the display device, acquires an object specified by a user, the object being contained in the graph image, and (iii) when the user performs a touch operation on the displayed graph image, changes a display style of the graph image according to a type of the acquired object and displays the graph image in the changed display style.

3. A graph display method for an electronic device including a touch panel-attached display device, comprising the steps of:
-
generating a graph screen that includes a two-dimensional graph image as an object of one or more objects therein; displaying the graph screen on the display device; when a touch operation onto one of the objects in the graph screen on the touch panel is detected, storing the touched object in a memory in relation with coordinates of the touch position and, when a swipe operation separate and distinct from the touch operation on the touch panel is detected after detection of the touch operation, executing at least one of a plurality of processes different from each other in accordance with the touched object stored in the memory; wherein the graph screen further includes and displays an x axis and a y axis as additional objects of the one or more objects therein, the generated graph screen including only the x axis and the y axis as the axes of the graph screen displayed on the display device, and when the touched object is one of the x axis and the y axis, the executed process comprises; redrawing the graph screen on the display device to scroll the graph screen in a direction of the other of the x axis and the y axis in accordance with a direction and a speed of the swipe operation detected after detection of the touch operation on the one of the x axis and the y axis, the direction of the swipe operation being at least generally along the other of the x axis and the y axis and the graph screen being redrawn so that coordinate ranges along the other of the x-axis and y-axis are changed by an amount which is based on the direction and the speed of the swipe operation; and when a swipe operation on the touch panel is detected and a separate and distinct touch operation is not detected before the swipe operation, redrawing the graph screen on the display device to scroll the graph image in accordance with a direction and a speed of the swipe operation. - View Dependent Claims (4, 8)

5. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a program to be executed by a computer of an electronic device including a touch panel-attached display device, the program causing the computer to:
-
generate a graph screen that includes a two-dimensional graph image and an x axis or a y axis as objects therein; display the graph screen on the display device; when detecting a touch operation onto the touch panel, determine which one of the objects displayed in the graph screen is touched; when a swipe operation onto on object in the graph screen on the touch panel is detected, store the touched object in a memory in relation with coordinates of the touch position and, when a swipe operation separate and distinct from the touch operation on the touch panel is detected after detection of the touch operation, execute at least one of a plurality of processes different from each other in accordance with the touched object stored in the memory; wherein the graph screen further includes and displays an x axis and a y axis as additional objects of the one or more objects therein, the generated graph screen including only the x axis and the y axis as the axes of the graph screen displayed on the display device, and when the touched object is one of the x axis and the y axis, the executed process comprises; redrawing the graph screen on the display device to scroll the graph screen in a direction of the other of the x axis and the y axis in accordance with a direction and a speed of the swipe operation detected after detection of the touch operation on the one of the x axis and the y axis, the direction of the swipe operation being at least generally along the other of the x axis and the y axis and the graph screen being redrawn so that coordinate ranges along the other of the x-axis and y-axis are changed by an amount which is based on the direction and the speed of the swipe operation; and when a swipe operation on the touch panel is detected and a separate and distinct touch operation is not detected before the swipe operation, redraw the graph screen on the display device to scroll the graph image in accordance with a direction and a speed of the swipe operation. - View Dependent Claims (6, 9)
