Image processing means comprises image converting means for converting
manipulation data inputted by a user with a manual controller or a mouse
into an input pattern image, geometric shape judging means for
determining a type of an input geometric shape indicated by the input
pattern image based on a plurality of geometric shape judging criterion,
image appearance displaying means for displaying a symbolic image
corresponding to the type of the input geometric shape on the monitor,
and image form determining means for determining a form of the symbolic
image displayed on the monitor. The image form determining means
comprises accuracy calculating means for determining accuracy of the
input geometric shape based on the number of deviations from an allowable
range of a judging criteria used in judgment for the determined type of
the input geometric shape, and modification displaying means for
modifying the form of the symbolic image displayed on the monitor based
on the accuracy of the input geometric shape.
