  • Patent number: 5511983
    Abstract: An image generating apparatus for preparing a drawing using an image display apparatus. The image generating apparatus has a power source turn-on detection unit for instructing starting of an image forming program for forming a series of consecutive images previously stored in a ROM. When the power turn-on detection unit detects power source turn-on, a power turn-on detection signal is transmitted via an I/O interface to a central processing unit, which then reads a demonstration program from the ROM to start displaying the demonstration image on a display. When the coordinate detection unit and the key switch pressing detecting unit detect the pressure information on buttons on a tablet and key switches, the pressure information is transmitted via the I/O interface to the central processing unit.
