Abstract
Abstract A graphic data processing system including an entering unit for entering a two-dimensional polygon, a copying unit for copying the two-dimensional polygon entered by the entering unit to another location separated from the original location by a prescribed distance, and a connecting unit for connecting vertexes of the two-dimensional polygon entered by the entering unit and corresponding vertexes of the two-dimensional polygon copied by the copying unit, whereby to form a prismatic figure. Further, the graphic data processing system may include a vertex-entering order judging unit for judging the order of the vertexes of the two-dimensional polygon entered by the entering unit, and a shade processing unit for processing shades of the prismatic figure in response to a result of the judgement made by the vertex-entering order judging unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A graphic data processing system comprising: entering means for entering a two-dimensional polygon; means for copying the two-dimensional polygon to another location in two-dimensional space separated from an original location by a prescribed distance; and means for connecting vertexes at the two-dimensional polygon and corresponding vertexes of the two-dimensional polygon, forming a prismatic figure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A graphic data processing system comprising: entering means for entering a two-dimensional polygon; means for copying the two-dimensional polygon to another location in two-dimensional space separated from an original location by a prescribed distance; and means for connecting vertexes at the two-dimensional polygon and corresponding vertexes of the two-dimensional polygon, forming a prismatic figure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The graphic data processing system according to claim 1, further comprising: means for judging whether the vertexes of the two-dimensional polygon were entered in a clockwise or in a counter-clockwise manner; and shade processing means for processing the shades of the prismatic figure in response to a result of a judgement made by said vertex-entering order judging means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
96 words
A graphic data processing system comprising: a storage unit for storing graphic data and modes of display; a judging unit for judging whether a series of vertexes of a prismatic figure are entered in a clockwise or in a counter-clockwise manner; a reversing unit for reversing an order of the manner in which the vertexes were entered; a converting unit for converting coordinate values of the prismatic figure when a geometrical editing is applied to the figure; a depicting unit for making figure generation; and a control unit for controlling operations of all of said units.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
96 words
A graphic data processing system comprising: a storage unit for storing graphic data and modes of display; a judging unit for judging whether a series of vertexes of a prismatic figure are entered in a clockwise or in a counter-clockwise manner; a reversing unit for reversing an order of the manner in which the vertexes were entered; a converting unit for converting coordinate values of the prismatic figure when a geometrical editing is applied to the figure; a depicting unit for making figure generation; and a control unit for controlling operations of all of said units.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
A graphic data processing method comprising the steps of: entering a two-dimensional polygon; copying the entered two-dimensional polygon to another location separated in two-dimensional space from the original location by a prescribed distance; and connecting vertexes of the entered two-dimensional polygon and corresponding vertexes of the copied two-dimensional polygon, whereby to form a prismatic figure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
A graphic data processing method comprising the steps of: entering a two-dimensional polygon; copying the entered two-dimensional polygon to another location separated in two-dimensional space from the original location by a prescribed distance; and connecting vertexes of the entered two-dimensional polygon and corresponding vertexes of the copied two-dimensional polygon, whereby to form a prismatic figure.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
51 words
The graphic data processing method according to claim 4, further comprising the steps of: judging whether the vertexes of the entered two-dimensional polygon were entered in a clockwise or in a counter-clockwise manner; and processing the shades of the prismatic figure in response to a judgement made by said judging step.
