Abstract

An interaction support system in which a figure processing program is run so that each of the constituent elements of a displayed figure is expressed in the form of coordinate points of a circumscribed polygon thereof and actions are sequentially defined with respect to the elements respectively. After actions have been defined with respect to the respective overlapped constituent elements, the defined actions are sequentially carried out in the run stage. An action for one figure element may be defined during defining operation of another figure element.
