摘要

A vehicular information system developing apparatus has an input section through which graphics-related data are externally input, said graphics-related data including graphics data relating to figures to be displayed on a screen and operation description data that are set for respective figures and describe operations of the figures on the screen; a storage section for storing control data to be used for controlling transition between display states in accordance with a prescribed command and display control data to be used for displaying figures on the screen in each state based on the operation description data; and a conversion section for incorporating the graphics-related data into the display control data and for generating an execution program based on resulting data and the control data. Operation description data which are data relating to operation description of figures are separated from graphics data, whereby graphics-related data can easily be modified without altering the contents of display control data, and can be generated externally.
