DESCRIPTION ELECTRONIC NOMOGRAM, METHOD OF DISPLAYING ELECTRONIC NOMOGRAM, AND PROGRAM Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic nomogram and the like for displaying on a nomogram a point graphic indicating a position. Background Art [0002] Nomograms printed on paper have been conventionally used. Nomograms displayed on a browser have also been provided on the web. For example, a web site operated by Health Canada presents a BMI (Body Mass Index) nomogram, in which a point graphic is displayed on the nomogram in response to the text input of the height and body weight of a person (see non-patent document 1, for example).

Nomograms printed on books are also available (see non-patent document 3, for example).
