Graphic display apparatus for robot system

A graphic display apparatus for a robot system comprising:

• means for displaying and arranging a 3-D model of a robot on a display screen to cause the displayed model to move in animation on the screen;
• means for storing the 3-D model of the robot and one or more 3-D models of a peripheral equipment, a machine, or a part, which is used in a system using the robot;
• and
• means for selecting one or more of the 3-D models stored in said storing means on the display screen;
• and
• means for adjusting dimensions of the 3-D model, selected by said selecting means, on the screen, wherein
• the 3-D model of the robot of which dimensions were adjusted by said adjusting means, or the 3-D model of the robot and the 3-D model of a peripheral equipment, a machine, or a part, which was selected by said selecting means, of which dimensions were adjusted by said adjusting means, are displayed and arranged on the display screen, with at least a part of the system using the robot being approximated.
