Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to designate an attribute of an image object to be superimposed with an additional object and perform first identification to identify an image object indicating the attribute designated, among image objects included in image data. The circuitry performs second identification to identify an image object that has not yet been superimposed with an additional object, among image objects identified by the first identification, and generates the additional object to be superimposed on the image object identified by the second identification.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus receives operational information indicating a content of each of user operations sequentially performed to generate or edit an object using any of guest tools; for each operational information, determine one of the guest tools that a user has used to perform the user operation indicated by the operational information; in response to receiving each operational information, register processing information including the operational information in one of a plurality of processing lists for the determined guest tool; in response to receiving each operational information, point with a pointer the processing information including the currently received operational information; and display a display image including the object, generated by sequentially performing editing according to the first-registered processing information to the currently-received processing information registered in each of the processing lists for the plurality of guest tools.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an attribute specifying unit, a first identifying unit, and a creating unit. The attribute specifying unit is configured to specify an attribute of an image object that is a subject on which an additional object indicating an additional image object is superimposed. The first identifying unit is configured to identify all image objects having the attribute specified by the attribute specifying unit from among a plurality of image objects included in image data. The creating unit is configured to create, for each of the image objects identified by the first identifying unit, the additional object that has an identical shape to the image object and that is to be superimposed on the image object.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating data includes a display unit that displays an area object the contour of which is extracted from an image to be processed by an image processing application, an operating unit that receives selection conditions for selecting an area object that is intended by a user out of the area objects displayed by the display unit, and a contour extracting unit that extracts a contour of an area object selected based on the selection conditions received by the operating unit. When the contour extracting unit extracts a contour of a selected area object, the display unit displays the selected area object and an unselected area object in a distinguishable manner.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to specify, with respect to image data including a plurality of image objects each having an attribute. The processing circuitry is further configured to identify all image objects having the specified attribute from among the plurality of image objects, and to create, for each of the identified image objects with the same attribute, an additional object that has an identical shape to the image object and that is to be superimposed on the image object.
