PURPOSE: To obtain a picture processing method which can accurately plot plural and same pictures with a simple operation by providing a means which similarly controls plural cursors and displays the picture by means of interlocking to it.

CONSTITUTION: A cursor for graphic editing 32 is displayed in a prescribed position on a display screen 30. An operator moves the cursor for graphic editing 32 to the other point from which plotting is to be started for displaying the cursor for graphic editing, and inputs an instruction for fixing the position of the cursor for graphic editing 32 from a keyboard. The operation is repeated for the necessary number of times and the generation of a graphic is to be started if the cursor for graphic editing is sufficient. When the generation of the graphic is terminated, the effect is inputted by the keyboard or a mouse. Then, cursors for graphic editing 32, 40 and 41, which are displayed, are collected into one. The original cursor for graphic editing 32 which is displayed from the beginning is remained and the cursors for graphic editing 40 and 41, which are newly generated, are erased, for example.
