Claim One:
1. A program creation apparatus for an image processing controller, which creates a control program for the image processing controller used in an image processing apparatus including a camera which photographs an object to be tested, to generate a camera image, the image processing controller which extracts a measurement result from the camera image and determines a quality of the object to be tested based upon this measurement result to output a determination signal, and a display which is display-controlled by the image processing controller and displays the measurement result, the program creation apparatus comprising: a display component storing part for holding, as display components to be arranged on the display, a camera image display component for displaying the camera image and a measurement result display component for displaying the measurement result; a processing unit storing part for holding two or more processing units showing image processing in which a parameter is changeable; a flow chart generating part for arranging the processing units on an execution flow that is started with a start symbol and completed with an end symbol, to generate a flowchart; a program generating part for generating a control program for the image processing controller based upon the flowchart; a display pattern generating part for associating the display components with the processing units inside the flowchart and also arranging the display components on an edition screen, to generate a display pattern including arrangement information of two or more display components associated with the processing units in order to display a result of image processing; and a transfer part for transferring the control program and the display pattern to the image processing controller, wherein the camera image display component is a display component that cuts out a part of the camera image and displays the cut-out image on the display, as well as a display component that cuts out a camera image and displays the cut-out image based upon an image processing result of the processing unit associated by the display pattern generating part.
