10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein after the controller s configured to control the panel of the second display to hide the graphic image in the different category from the category of the first graphic image, in response to canceling the selection of the first graphic image without performing an operation on a graphic image other than the first graphic image, an original state before the second display hides the graphic image is restored.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is configured to propose a name of the first graphic image or the second graphic image.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to propose different names of values set for the first graphic image and the second graphic image or proposes different names including values set for the first graphic image and the second graphic image.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first graphic image is configured such that, when selected, a function associated with the first graphic image is executed immediately,

the controller is further configured to extract a graphic image for which the number of set values different from values set for the first graphic image is less than or equal to or less than a predetermined number, and

in response to selection of the first graphic image, the controller is configured to control the panel of the display to display a set value associated with the first graphic image and a set value associated with the graphic image extracted in a comparable way before the function associated with the first graphic image is executed.
