          Appeal No.1996-1411                                                         
          Application No. 08/237,393                                                  
          for linking said perspective drawing to a three-dimensionally               
          represented perspective drawing of another section;                         

                    b) deriving a space angle for a direction in space                
          of each section from said measured data from said existing                  
          self-movable object;                                                        
                    c) matching an address in said memory (7) of each of              
          said stored perspective drawings of each section with said                  
          derived space angle of each section for the image to be drawn;              
                    d) assembling the graphic figure by assembling each               
          image section in accordance with a predetermined sequential                 
          assembling schedule, section by section, each image section                 
          being                                                                       

          retrieved from said memory area by reading the memory at an                 
          address based on the derived space angle for the image section              
          in question wherein each subsequent graphic figure image                    
          section is linked with a nearest preceding graphic figure                   
          image section at a joint location common to both said                       
          sections,                                                                   

                    whereby said plurality of three-dimensionally                     
          represented perspective drawings of each image section making               
          up said assembled graphic figure depict image sections that                 
          may have different proportions than the image sections of said              
          self-movable object used to generate said space angles.
