Abstract

An interactive graphic system is provided for automatically recording lines, symbols or marks by inputting plotting information in a step-by-step mode in an interactive system. The systems comprise a data setter for specifying, among various predetermined graphs, a graph to be plotted and for setting plotting data concerning the graph thus specified, a plotter for providing records in association with input signals, a display for requiring the plotting data inputs, and a controller for suitably controlling the various sections. The system is formed into one unit, so that the plotter can directly plot the necessary records with plotting data given by the data setter, and that the plotting operation is simplified and the system itself is small in size and low in manufacturing cost.
