Abstract: A method is provided for modifying an image. The method comprises displaying an image, the image comprising a portion of an object; and determining if an edge of the object is in a location within the portion. The method further comprises detecting movement, in a member direction, of an operating member with respect to the edge. The method still further comprises moving, if the edge is not in the location, the object in an object direction corresponding to the detected movement; and modifying, if the edge is in the location, the image in response to the detected movement, the modified image comprising the edge in the location.

Abstract: Apparatus for wrapping the end surface of a cylindrical object having an apparatus fixing frame placed on a base via an ultra low friction sliding mechanism, a back pressure P.sub.2 suitable for the kind of wrapping paper being imposed on the wrapping paper and the free end of the projecting portion of the wrapping paper being gripped at plural points in the circumferential direction so as to draw the frame toward the axial center of the cylindrical coil whereby the free end of the projecting portion of the wrapping paper is constrained by tension produced on the projecting wrapping paper throughout the folding operation with the result that regular pleats are formed to assure an attractive transport package.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a cylindrical package in which a cylindrically shaped coil of a long steel strip having a peripheral surface, two end surfaces and a hollow cylindrical center is completely wrapped with a wrapping sheet material so as to have neatly folded closures on both end surfaces with a ring member inserted into the cylindrical hollow center of the coil. At first the wrapping sheet is wrapped around the coil so as to project from either end of the coil by a length l greater than the thickness t between the outermost layer and the innermost layer of the coil. The projecting portions are folded onto the end surfaces by pusher plates with pleat forming rods provided therebetween to form crease lines.
