Program storage medium storing display program, apparatus, and method thereof
First Claim
1. Program storage medium readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a method for displaying two-dimensional representation relating to an object, said method comprising:
- a reading step of reading an observation information of the object from a storage means, said observation information including an observation time and an observed value, said object being observed at the observation time and being associated with the observed value, said observation time and said observed value being stored in the storage means beforehand;
a generating step of generating drawing-data of the object on a basis of the observation time and the observed value; and
a displaying step of displaying the two-dimensional representations corresponding to a plurality of the observation times in turn on a display device, said two-dimensional representation being generated on a basis of the drawing-data, said two-dimensional representation having a first coordinate axis for representing an identifier of the object and a second coordinate axis for representing the observed value of the object.

Abstract
A display program for allowing a user to easily understand changes of observed values is provided. Information necessary for drawing is read from storage means to generate drawing data from the read information, and a bound graph, which is a two-dimensional representation, is displayed as an animation in which measurement points of nodes move up and down over times. This allows the user to observe variations of observed values by using the movement of the measurement points in addition to coloring, which is easy-to-analyze for the user.
