Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a graphic meter that can lessen discomfort to be given to drivers.SOLUTION: A graphic meter is configured to: display a circle-shape rpm image EG including a scale image SG and pointer image GG on a display instrument; and display information on a shift lever different from the rpm to be indicated by an index part Sc in an area A having a center position CP of the rpm image EG included, in which in the pointer image GG, the center position CP is a rotation center, and a position apart by a fixed distance from the center position CP is located as a root position RP, thereby the pointer image GG is configured not to be overlappedly displayed in the area A. The graphic meter comprises a sub CPU that deletes the pointer image GG as making the pointer image GG sequentially contract in a long-side direction when an ignition switch is turned OFF. Upon deleting the pointer image GG as making the pointer image GG sequentially contract, with the root position RP of the pointer image GG made stationary, the sub CPU is configured to fix the root position RP of the pointer image GG; and make a contraction rate of a tip end part T of the pointer image GG is smaller than that of a main body part B thereof.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
