METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING A GRAPHICAL DISPLAY OF DATA AND FOR OMITTING A RANGE OF DATA WITHIN THE GRAPH

A method of forming graphs includes steps for storing numerical data to be presented as a graph and determining an omission-range to specify a range of data to be omitted when the numerical data is presented as a graph. Display positions are determined for the stored numerical data on either side of the range of data that is to be omitted when the numerical data is presented as a graph based on the input omission-range. A graph corresponding to the stored numerical data on either side of the range of data to be omitted is formed based on the display positions determined.
