Abstract

A display control apparatus is provided that performs control to display an image on a display unit, and that displays a plurality of lines in such a manner that the plurality of lines are superimposed on the image displayed on the display unit, displays, when an arrangement change operation is being performed on any line of the plurality of displayed lines, arrangement information regarding arrangement of each of the lines, the arrangement information displayed in a superimposed manner, and then, executes at least processing for displaying an operation target line to be distinguishable from an operation non-target line, or processing for displaying arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display control apparatus that performs control to display an image on a display unit, the display control apparatus comprising:
a processor; and a memory storing a program that, when executed by the processor, causes the display control apparatus to: display a plurality of lines in such a manner that the plurality of lines are superimposed on the image displayed on the display unit; display, when an arrangement change operation is being performed on any line of the plurality of displayed lines, arrangement information regarding arrangement of each of the lines, the arrangement information displayed in a superimposed manner; and execute at least processing for displaying an operation target line to be distinguishable from an operation non-target line, or processing for displaying arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

2 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing for displaying the operation target line to be distinguishable from the operation non-target line comprises processing for displaying the operation target line anteriorly to the operation non-target line, and the processing for displaying the arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from the arrangement information of the operation non-target line comprises processing for displaying the arrangement information of the operation target line anteriorly to the arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

3 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing for displaying the arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from the arrangement information of the operation non-target line comprises processing for making a display size of the arrangement information of the operation target line larger than a display size of the arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

4 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing for displaying the arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from the arrangement information of the operation non-target line comprises processing for making a size of a character included in the arrangement information of the operation target line larger than a size of a character included in the arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

5 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing for displaying the operation target line to be distinguishable from the operation non-target line comprises processing for differentiating a color of the operation target line from a color of the operation non-target line, and the processing for displaying the arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from the arrangement information of the operation non-target line comprises processing for differentiating a color of the arrangement information of the operation target line from a color of the arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

6 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control apparatus further changes a display position of the arrangement information of the operation non-target line that overlaps the arrangement information of the operation target line, among pieces of arrangement information of operation non-target lines, and displays the arrangement information.

7 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing for displaying the operation target line to be distinguishable from the operation non-target line comprises processing for hiding the arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

8 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein an operation for changing a rotational angle of a line can be performed as the arrangement change operation, and wherein the displayed arrangement information includes a rotational angle.

9 . The display control apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display control apparatus further displays a benchmark of a rotational angle.

10 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display control apparatus further receives an image captured by an imaging apparatus, and wherein the received image is displayed on the display unit.

11 . A display control method comprising:
displaying an image on a display unit; displaying a plurality of lines in such a manner that the plurality of lines are superimposed on the image displayed on the display unit; displaying, when an arrangement change operation is being performed on any line of the plurality of displayed lines, arrangement information regarding arrangement of each of the lines, the arrangement information displayed in a superimposed manner; and executing at least processing for displaying an operation target line to be distinguishable from an operation non-target line, or processing for displaying arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
displaying an image on a display unit; displaying a plurality of lines in such a manner that the plurality of lines are superimposed on the image displayed on the display unit; displaying, when an arrangement change operation is being performed on any line of the plurality of displayed lines, arrangement information regarding arrangement of each of the lines, the arrangement information displayed in a superimposed manner; and executing at least processing for displaying an operation target line to be distinguishable from an operation non-target line, or processing for displaying arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

13 . A display control apparatus that performs control to display an image on a display unit, the display control apparatus comprising:
a processor; and a memory storing a program that, when executed by the processor, causes the display control apparatus to: display a plurality of lines in such a manner that the plurality of lines are superimposed on the image displayed on the display unit; and display, when an arrangement change operation is being performed on any line of the plurality of displayed lines, arrangement information regarding arrangement of each of the lines, the arrangement information displayed in a superimposed manner, wherein arrangement information of an operation target line is displayed to not overlap with arrangement information of an operation non-target line.

14 . The display control apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein a display position of the arrangement information of the operation non-target line that overlaps the arrangement information of the operation target line, among pieces of arrangement information of operation non-target lines, is changed and displayed.

15 . A display control method comprising:
displaying an image on a display unit; displaying a plurality of lines in such a manner that the plurality of lines are superimposed on the image displayed on the display unit; and displaying, when an arrangement change operation is being performed on any line of the plurality of displayed lines, arrangement information regarding arrangement of each of the line
