Patent ID: 7420562

Claim:
A chart display device, comprising: model-form information obtaining means for obtaining a size information of a previously prepared graph-model form; display-style decision means for deciding a display size and a display position of the graph-model form on a graph display sheet on which a graph is screen displayed; model-form display means having a function of copying the graph-model form, adjusting the display size of the copied graph-model form based on the decision of the display-style decision means, and displaying the adjusted graph-model form or a plurality of the adjusted graph-model forms at the display position of the graph display sheet; numerical-value obtaining and displaying means for obtaining a predetermined numerical-value information, and creating a graph by plotting the predetermined numerical-value information onto the adjusted graph-model form displayed on the graph display sheet; and recording means for recording a category information as a forming unit of the graph, wherein the display-style decision means obtains the category information and decides the display size and the display position of the graph-model form based on a number of the category, the numerical-value obtaining and displaying means obtains the prescribed numerical-value information corresponding to the category, and graphically displays the predetermined numerical-value information onto the graph-model form displayed on the graph display sheet, the numerical-value obtaining and displaying means confirms a copy position (x,y), where x represents the column and y represents the line, of the graph-model form based on the obtained information, changes the copy position to a position (1,y+1) when a lateral position of the copy position exceeds a predetermined number of graphs on the sheet in the lateral direction and line-feeds the copy position, sets up a new sheet as a new graph display sheet and changes the copy position to an upper most left box (1,1) of the new graph display sheet when a vertical position of the copy position exceeds a number in the sheet in the vertical position, and copies the graph-model form of the graph sheet file onto a copy position of the graph display sheet, and the model-form display means displays plurality of the adjusted graph-model forms in a matrix manner on the graph display sheet.
