2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a document processing apparatus, when data of different document constituent elements such as texts, figures, graphs and images are mixed in an electronically created document, each data of the document constituent elements is , Manage by setting a frame in the document. The frame is composed of rectangular areas, and areas having individual attributes such as a text frame, a graphic frame, and an image frame are provided according to the type of data managed by each frame, and among them, the area of each document constituent element is set. Data is managed.

When such an electronic document editing process is performed, in order to confirm the contents of the electronic document being edited, the edited document is displayed on the display screen as an image similar to the printout even during the editing, and the printing is further performed. Frequent printing on the device. Further, in a document creating apparatus such as so-called WYSIWYG that displays a document on a display device in a display form similar to an output image and performs edit processing, the edited document is displayed on the display screen in the same image as print output.

By the way, in such a document creating apparatus, when an image including an image is edited, the image is always displayed together with the document and printed, so it takes time to scroll the screen display and print. However, there is a problem that the work of confirming the document contents cannot be efficiently performed while the document is being edited. In particular, when the image data is a color image created by a high resolution scanner, there is a problem that the amount of image data is large and scrolling of the screen display and printing take time.

On the other hand, the inventor of the present invention disclosed in the Institute of Invention and Innovation Technical Report (public technique number 93-1118), "When a portion other than an image is edited / printed in a document including an image, an unnecessary image is generated. We propose a technology to improve the processing speed of displaying, scrolling, and printing the entire document by configuring so that it is not displayed or printed.

[0006]

By the way, in the conventional document creating apparatus, an electronic document including an image is displayed on a display device at the time of editing and an editing operation is performed. When the document to be edited is an electronic document including an image, the image must be displayed to perform the editing work even when the document is edited only with the text. For this reason, the present inventor has proposed that "when a part other than an image is edited / printed in a document including an image, an unnecessary image is not displayed / printed, and the whole document is displayed, Using the technique of “improving the processing speed of scrolling, printing, etc.” is an effective means for efficiently performing editing and creation.

However, when this technique is used, the display of the image portion is suppressed and only the text portion of the document is displayed even in the case of a document including an image, so that the existence of the image portion cannot be confirmed in the document being edited. . Therefore, as far as the display of the document being edited is concerned, there remains a problem that a document including an image and in which the display of the image portion is suppressed is confused with a document not including the image.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and an object of the present invention is to display or print a part other than an image in an electronic document containing an image. An object of the present invention is to provide a document editing apparatus capable of suppressing the display or printing of a non-existing image, efficiently displaying, scrolling, printing, etc. of the entire document, and checking the status of image display suppression or printing suppression.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, an image editing apparatus which is a first feature of the present invention displays an electronic document in which a frame area for displaying an image is provided in a part of the document contents. In a document editing device that is displayed on a device and edited, a frame attribute setting unit (1) that sets an image display inhibition attribute in a frame region
4) and when displaying a frame area in which the image display inhibition attribute is set on the display device, image formation is not performed in the frame area, and a predetermined mark image is formed corresponding to the existing portion of the image, A display processing means (15) for performing a display output process of the frame area is provided.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an image editing apparatus which outputs an electronic document having a frame area for displaying an image in a part of a document content to a printing apparatus. When outputting an electronic document including a frame attribute setting unit (14) for setting the inhibition attribute and the frame area for which the image printing inhibition attribute is set to the printing apparatus, the print image is not formed in the frame area and the print image is not formed. And a print control means (15) for forming a predetermined mark image corresponding to the existing portion and performing print output processing of the frame area.

In these image editing apparatuses, the predetermined mark for forming an image corresponding to the existing portion of the image is
A diagonal line of the image existence area, a message character for image formation inhibition diagonally arranged in the image existence area, or a side indicating the periphery of the image existence area, an image formation arranged around the image existence area The combination includes a message character of inhibition, a diagonal line indicating an area where an image exists, and a message character of image formation inhibition.

[0012]

In the image editing apparatus having the first feature of the present invention, when the electronic document having a frame area for displaying an image in a part of the document content is displayed on the display device for editing, the frame attribute setting is performed. When the means (14) sets the image display suppression attribute in the frame area, the display processing means (15) displays the frame area in which the image display suppression attribute is set on the display device. Without forming an image in the frame area, a predetermined mark image is formed corresponding to the existing portion of the image, and the display output processing of the frame area is performed.

In the image editing apparatus which is the second feature of the present invention, when outputting an electronic document in which a frame area for displaying an image is provided in a part of the document contents to the printing apparatus, the frame attribute setting means ( 14) sets the image printing inhibition attribute in the frame area, the print control means (15) outputs the electronic document including the frame area in which the image printing inhibition attribute is set to the printing device. , Without forming an image in the frame area,
A predetermined mark image is formed corresponding to the existing portion of the image, and printout processing of the frame area is performed.

Thus, when a portion other than the image is edited with respect to the electronic document including the image, or when the document is displayed or printed for confirmation of the content during editing, the display or the You can suppress the display or printing of images that do not need to be printed, and display the entire document.
Scrolling, printing, etc. can be performed efficiently. In addition, the existing portion of the image originally displayed or printed in the document is subjected to image formation of a predetermined mark image corresponding to the existing portion of the image, and the display output or the print output of the frame area is performed. Since it is obtained, it is possible to confirm the state of image display inhibition or print inhibition.

As the predetermined mark for forming an image corresponding to the existing portion of the image, which is indicated by a diagonal line of the existing area of the image, the existing area of the original image to be displayed or printed is It can be clearly confirmed, and since the diagonal line of the mark is composed of vector data, the image forming speed can be processed at high speed.

Further, here, as the predetermined mark for forming an image corresponding to the existing portion of the image, what is indicated by a message character of image formation inhibition arranged diagonally in the existing area of the image is essentially The existence area of the non-printed image to be displayed or printed can be clearly confirmed together with the display-inhibited state or the print-inhibited state, and since the mark is composed of text data, the image forming speed can be processed at high speed.

If the predetermined mark for forming an image corresponding to the existing portion of the image is shown by the side showing the periphery of the existing area of the image, the presence of the original image to be displayed or printed. Since the boundary of the area can be clearly confirmed and the side showing the periphery of the mark is composed of vector data, the image forming speed can be processed at high speed.

Further, in a case where a predetermined mark for forming an image corresponding to an existing portion of an image is indicated by an image formation inhibition message character arranged around the existing area of the image,

It is connected to an input / output device such as the printing device 20.

A document editing apparatus realized by installing a processing program in such a hardware device is functionally shown in the image here as shown in FIG. In the document processing unit 12 which performs the editing process, the frame region setting unit 13, which is a processing element unit for performing the frame process,
A frame attribute setting unit 14 and a frame display processing unit 15 are provided and configured.

In the document editing apparatus having such a structure,
Documents (document data) stored in the disk device 10
When a frame is set for the document and image editing is performed as a part of the document content, the document processing unit 12 includes the frame area setting unit 13
An image frame (image frame) for image editing is set in the area of the document to be edited by, and the frame attribute setting unit 14 further sets a frame for image display suppression and image printing suppression for the set image frame. Set attributes.

As a result, when the frame display processing unit 15 edits a document according to the frame attributes (frame attributes of image display inhibition and image printing inhibition) set for the image frame in the document by the document processing unit 12, Display control and print control are individually performed for the images in the document. That is, when a frame area in which the frame attribute of image display suppression is set is displayed on the display device, image formation is not performed in the frame area, but a predetermined mark image is formed corresponding to the existing portion of the image. , The display output processing of the frame area is performed.

The frame display processing section 15 performs the display process of the image in the image frame in which the frame attribute is set.
Here, the frame attribute determination unit 16 and the image substitute mark generation unit 1
7, and an image display suppression control unit 18 are provided.
In the frame display processing of the frame display processing unit 15, the frame attribute determination unit 16 determines the value of the frame attribute set in the image frame, and activates the image alternative mark generation unit 17 and the image display suppression control unit 18. Then, the image display processing of the frame area is performed.

In the image display processing of the frame area, the image display suppression control unit 18 instructs the frame attribute determination unit 16 to form an image in the frame area for the frame for which the frame attribute of the image display suppression is set. Is prohibited, and the mark generated by the image substitute mark generating unit 17 is controlled to be displayed in correspondence with the existing portion of the image. Further, also for a frame for which a frame attribute of image printing suppression is set, the image display suppression control unit 18 similarly prohibits image formation in the frame area according to an instruction from the frame attribute determination unit 16, and The mark generated by the image substitute mark generation unit 17 is combined corresponding to the existing portion of the image to form print data, and the print control unit 19
Send print data to. The print control unit 19 controls the printing device 20 to print the document in which the mark image is formed on the existing portion of the image from the print data.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a graphic user interface screen for explaining the operation of the frame attribute setting section. When the document processing unit is activated, as shown in FIG.
An edit window 25 named Document Editor for document processing is opened, and in this edit window 25, edit processing is performed on each document. Here, the document 41 to be edited is displayed in the work area of the editing window 25, and the editing work of the document 24 is shown. At that time, for the image frame 22 set in the document 21, a display control attribute related to the frame image display processing of image display inhibition and image printing inhibition is set as a frame attribute.

Next, an operation example in the case of setting an image frame for image editing in the document area and further setting the display control attribute of the frame attribute will be described. For example, when setting the display control attribute of image display inhibition as the frame attribute for the image frame 22 set in the document 21, first place the mouse cursor at the position of the image frame 22 set in the document 21 and Click to set the image frame 22 to the selected state, and then press the "attribute key" provided on the keyboard (or provided as an item in the pull-down menu) to set the subwindow for that attribute setting. Open 23.

When the sub window 23 is opened,
Since setting items of respective attribute information that can be set as frame attributes for the selected image frame are displayed, display control attributes are set as in this example. As the display control attributes of the image frame, the settable attributes are displayed by buttons. Therefore, in order to enable efficient editing of the document, on / off of the "display suppression" button and " Set the print suppression button on / off and set attributes for frame image display control. When the mouse cursor is positioned on the button having the desired display control attribute and the mouse button is clicked, the display of the set button is highlighted and the state of the set frame attribute is displayed.
When the setting of the frame attribute of the display control is completed, the sub window 23 is closed by clicking the “Complete” button on the upper side of the sub window 23, and the setting of the frame attribute is completed.

As a result, the ON attribute of the image display inhibition button is set in the image frame 22 of the document 21 as the display control attribute of the frame image. Therefore, in the image display in the image frame 22 of the document 21 in the edit window 25,
A frame display process is performed in which image display is always suppressed according to the value of the display control attribute of the frame. As a result, document 21
When editing the text in, for example, scrolling is frequently performed. At that time, the image frame 2
Since the display of the image in 2 is suppressed and only the mark indicating the existing portion of the image is displayed, the scroll processing is performed at high speed. Therefore, the user's editing work can be performed efficiently and with good operability as in the case of a document not including an image.

In this case, for the area of the frame of the image existing portion where the image display is suppressed, for example, a mark pattern when the display is suppressed is designated in the sub window (property sheet) 23 in which the frame attribute is set similarly. As a result, for example, the display of the area is displayed as a substitute with a cross mark "x", so that the editing work can be performed while confirming the existing portion of the image in the frame area of the document.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the activation process for the frame display processing unit when a document is displayed in the document editing process, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the structure of an electronic document for which the document editing process is performed. . Further, FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a frame image display process in the frame display processing unit,
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a frame image printing process in the frame display processing unit.

The frame image display processing and print processing in the document editing processing will be described with reference to FIGS. When displaying an electronic document in the document editing process, as shown in FIG. 3A, when a frame image display request 31 is issued to the document processing unit 30, the document processing unit 30
The frame image display unit 33 performs a frame image display process 33.
In the frame image display processing 33, according to the processing flow as shown in FIG. 5, the image display suppression processing within the frame is performed and the frame display processing is performed according to the display control attribute of the frame image set in the frame to be processed.

Further, when printing an electronic document being edited, similarly, as shown in FIG. 3B, when a frame image print request 34 is issued to the document processing unit 30, the document processing unit is requested. A frame image printing process 35 is performed by the frame display processing unit 32.
I do. In the frame image printing process 35, according to the processing flow as shown in FIG. 6, the frame image printing suppression control is performed according to the setting value of the print control attribute (print suppression attribute) set in the frame to be processed, and the frame image is being edited. Print electronic documents.

As shown in FIG. 4, the structure of the electronic document is composed of a document 41, a page 42, a frame 43, a block 44, and an image frame 45 in the order of a lower hierarchy. That is, the set of image frames 45 forms a block 44, the set of blocks 44 forms a frame 43, and the set of frames 43 forms a page 42. The document 41 is composed of a set of pages 42.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the frame display processing for performing the image display suppression processing within the frame according to the display control attribute of the frame image set in the frame to be processed will be described. When the frame display processing is performed for a frame which is incorporated as a part of the document content and whose frame display control attribute is set to image display inhibition, when the process is started, first, in step 51, as shown in FIG. , Search the frame in the document area to be displayed. Next, at step 52, it is judged whether or not there is an unprocessed frame in the document area. If there is an unprocessed frame, the process proceeds to step 53, and the target unprocessed frame attribute is read. Next, in step 54, it is determined whether the frame attribute is image display inhibition. If the frame attribute is image display inhibition, the process proceeds to the next step 55 and image display inhibition processing is performed. When it is determined in step 54 that the frame attribute is not image display inhibition, normal image display processing is performed in step 56. Next, returning to step 51, the processing from step 51 is repeated.

Further, in step 51, the frame in the document area to be displayed is searched, and in the next step 52, it is determined whether or not there is an unprocessed frame in the document area. If there is no frame, the process for all the display process target frames is completed, and the series of processes is completed. This processing example is a processing flow when a plurality of image frames are set in one document to be displayed.
If only one easy frame is set in the document,
The processing of steps 51 and 52 can be omitted.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, description will be given of a frame printing process when the image printing suppression process within the frame is performed according to the display control attribute of the frame image set in the frame to be processed.
When the print control process is performed for the frame that is incorporated as a part of the document content and has the frame image print inhibition attribute set, when the process is started, first, as shown in FIG.
In step 1, the frame attributes of the frame in the document area to be displayed are read. Next, in step 62, it is determined whether the frame attribute is image print inhibition. If the frame attribute is image print inhibition, the process proceeds to the next step 63, the image print inhibition process is performed, and the process ends. If it is determined in step 62 that the frame attribute is not image print inhibition, normal image printing processing is performed in step 64 and the processing ends.

Such image display suppression and image print suppression are "display suppression" set as the display control attribute of the frame.
Button on / off and "Print suppression" button on / off
The control is performed according to the OFF state. However, the portion where the image of the frame in which the image display suppression and the image print suppression are performed is provided with a predetermined mark so that it becomes clear, and the frame display processing is performed. Is performed. Next, the marks displayed corresponding to the existing portions of the images in these frames will be described.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a first example of marks displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the frame image when the image display is suppressed and the image printing is suppressed. In FIG. 7,
The display inhibition mark changes corresponding to the position of the image in the frame area, indicating that the existing portion of the frame image is clearly indicated. In the case of the example of FIG. 7, the display inhibition mark indicates a rectangular area of the image existing area by two diagonal lines, so-called “x” mark.

In FIG. 7, the solid line frame represents the image frame, and the alternate long and short dash line represents the display image. FIG. 7 (A)
In the case where the image is displayed in the full image frame, the existing portions of the image frame 70 and the image 71 overlap each other. In this case, in the display-inhibited state, the two diagonal lines 72 that fully fill the image frame 70 corresponding to the image existing portion.
Is displayed.

FIG. 7B shows an image frame 70 to an image 73.
This is the case when a part of is set to the protruding state. In this case, since the portion where the image frame 70 and the image 73 overlap is the image existing portion of the image frame 70, two diagonal lines 74 are displayed corresponding to this image existing portion.

FIG. 7C shows the case where the image 75 is smaller than the image frame 70 and the image 75 is contained inside the image frame 70. In this case, the entire area of the image corresponds to the existing portion of the image 75 as it is, and the two diagonal lines 76 are displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the image.

FIG. 7D shows a case where the image 77 is larger than the image frame 70 and the entire image 77 is not displayed within the image frame 70. In this case, the entire image frame 70 becomes the existing portion of the image 77. Therefore, in the display suppressed state, the image frame 70 corresponds to the existing portion of the image.
Two diagonal lines 78 are displayed in full.

FIG. 7E shows an image frame 70 and an image 79.
This is the case where there is no overlapping portion of the image 79 in the image frame 70. In this case, since the image frame 70 has no image-existing portion and no image-displaying area, the mark (2 The diagonal line of the book is not displayed.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a second example of marks displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the frame image when the image display is suppressed. FIG. 8 shows another exemplary display example of the mark for displaying the image existing portion in the image frame by using the same positional relationship between the image frame and the image as described in FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 8, the mark displayed corresponding to the image existing portion in this case indicates a rectangular area.
In this example, a diagonal line 81 of the book is displayed, and a message character 82 "display is suppressed" is also displayed at the center position of the book. In this manner, by displaying the message character of the display inhibition together with the two diagonal lines indicating the area of the image existing portion, the display inhibition state of the image frame can be clearly displayed.

For example, FIG. 8A shows a case where an image is displayed in the full image frame, and the image frame 70 and the image 71 are displayed.
The existing parts of are overlapped jointly. In this case, in the display inhibition state, the image frame 70 corresponds to the image existing portion.
The two diagonal lines 81 fully represent the rectangular area in which the image is displayed, and the message character 82 "display is suppressed" is displayed at the center position.

The display examples of FIGS. 8B, 8C, 8D and 8E are the same as the display examples in each case described in FIG. However, as the image display inhibition mark here, an area where the image exists is designated.
Along with the diagonal display of the book, a message character that indicates that the image display is suppressed is displayed.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a third example of the marks displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the frame image when the image printing is suppressed. In FIG. 9, similar to the case of FIG. 8, the same positional relationship between the image frame and the image as described in FIG. 7 is used, and other than the mark for printing and displaying the image existing portion of the image frame when the image printing is suppressed. The example of a display of an example is shown. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, two diagonal lines 91 indicating a rectangular area are displayed as a mark displayed corresponding to the image existing portion, and further, a message character of image printing inhibition is placed at the center position. This is an example of the case where the message character 92 “printing is prohibited” is also printed. In this way, by further displaying the message character together with the two diagonal lines indicating the area where the image exists, the display inhibition state of the image frame can be clearly displayed.

For example, in FIG. 9A, the image is printed in the full image frame, and the image frame 70 and the image 7 are printed.
The existence part of 1 overlaps conjointly. In this case, in the print inhibition state, the image frame 7 corresponds to the image existing portion.
Two diagonal lines 91 that are fully filled with 0 represent a rectangular area in which an image is displayed, and a message character 92 "printing is prohibited" is displayed at the center position.

The display examples of FIGS. 9B, 9C, 9D and 9E are the same as the display examples in each case described in FIG. However, as the image print inhibition mark here, the area of the existing portion of the image is designated.
Along with the diagonal line of the book, a message character indicating that the image printing is prohibited is displayed.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a fourth example of the marks displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the frame image when the image display is suppressed and the image printing is suppressed. In FIG. 10, as in the case described above, the display example of another example of the mark for displaying the image existing portion in the image frame by using the same positional relationship between the image frame and the image as described in FIG. Shows. In the display example in this case, as shown in FIG. 10, only one diagonal line 101 indicating a rectangular area is used as the mark displayed corresponding to the image existing portion.

In the document editing process of the present embodiment, when the document editing work is efficiently performed, in order to suppress the image display of the image frame and perform the processing time required for the frame display process at high speed,
Even if the display inhibition mark is displayed corresponding to the image existing portion of the image frame, it is desirable that the mark be simple and capable of high-speed display processing. Therefore, in order to effectively carry out the present invention, in this example, the mark displayed corresponding to the image existing portion is one diagonal line 101 indicating a rectangular area.
Use only. It is fully possible to point to a rectangular area that suppresses image display even with one diagonal line,
The display suppression state of the image frame can be clearly displayed.

FIG. 10A shows a case where an image is displayed in the full image frame, and the existing portions of the image frame 70 and the image 71 overlap each other. In this case, when the display is suppressed,
A rectangular area in which an image is displayed is represented by one diagonal line 101 that fills the image frame 70 in correspondence with the image existing portion.

10 (B), 10 (C), 10
The display examples in (D) and FIG. 10 (E) are similar to the display examples in each case described in FIG. 7. However, as the image display inhibition mark here, the display of one diagonal line 102, 103, 104 indicating the area of the existing portion of the image indicates that the image display is inhibited.
That is, the area of the existing portion of the image is designated by the difference in the length of one diagonal line.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a fifth example of the marks displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the frame image when the image display is suppressed and the image printing is suppressed. In FIG. 11, as in the case described above, the display example of another example of the mark for displaying the image existing portion in the image frame by using the same positional relationship between the image frame and the image as described in FIG. Shows. The display example in this case is the same as that in the case of FIG. 10, but as the mark displayed corresponding to the image existing portion, one diagonal line 111 indicating a rectangular area whose diagonal direction is changed is used. .

11 (A), 11 (B), 11
(C), FIG. 11 (D), and FIG. 11 (E) are shown in FIG.
This is the same as the display example in each case described in. However, as the mark for suppressing the image display here, one diagonal line 111, 11 indicating the area where the image exists is specified.
The display of 2, 113, 114 indicates that the image display is suppressed.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a sixth example of the marks displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the frame image when the image display is suppressed and the image printing is suppressed. In FIG. 12, the display inhibition mark is changed corresponding to the position of the image in the frame area to clearly indicate the existing portion of the frame image. In the case of the display example shown in FIG. 12, the display inhibition mark is displayed as a peripheral side surrounding the rectangular area of the image existing area. It is desirable that the peripheral side is a line modified by, for example, a thick line so that it can be distinguished from the line of the image frame. 12
In the display example shown in, the railroad line is displayed. The line of this peripheral side can of course be used as a normal line.

As in the case described above, in FIG. 12, the solid line frame represents the image frame, and the alternate long and short dash line represents the display image. FIG. 12A shows a case where an image is displayed in a full image frame, and the existing portions of the image frame 70 and the image 71 overlap each other. In this case, in the display-inhibited state, the line of the peripheral side is displayed as the railway line 121, overlapping the image frame 70 corresponding to the image existing portion.

FIG. 12B shows an image frame 70 through an image 7.
This is a case where a part of 3 is set in a protruding state. In this case, the portion where the image frame 70 and the image 73 overlap is the image existing portion of the image frame 70. Therefore, the line of the peripheral side is displayed by the railway line 122 corresponding to this image existing portion. To be done.

FIG. 12C shows the case where the image 75 is smaller than the image frame 70 and the image 75 is contained inside the image frame 70. In this case, the image 75

The character string 131 of is displayed.

FIG. 13B shows image frame 70 through image 7.
This is a case where a part of 3 is set in a protruding state. In this case, the portion where the image frame 70 and the image 73 overlap is the image existing portion of the image frame 70. The character string 132 of "inhibit ..." is displayed.

FIG. 13C shows the case where the image 75 is smaller than the image frame 70 and the image 75 is contained inside the image frame 70. In this case, the image 75
Since the entire area of the image becomes the image existing portion corresponding to the existing portion, the character string 133 of “inhibit, inhibit, suppress ...” is displayed inside the image corresponding to the existing portion along the peripheral side. To be done.

FIG. 13D shows a case where the image 77 is larger than the image frame 70 and the entire image 77 is not displayed in the image frame 70. In this case, the entire image frame 70 becomes the existing portion of the image 77. Therefore, in the display suppressed state, the image frame 70 corresponds to the image existing portion.
The frame lines of are overlapped. Therefore, also in this case, the character string 134 of "inhibit, inhibit ..." Is displayed along the inner peripheral edge of the image frame 70 which is the image existing portion.

FIG. 13E shows an image frame 70 and an image 7.
This is the case where the image frame 70 is separated from the image frame 9 and there is no overlapping portion of the image 79 in the image frame 70. In this case, the image frame 70
Since there is no part where the image exists and there is no area where the image is displayed, the mark displayed corresponding to the part where the image exists (the character string of “suppression suppression suppression ……”) is displayed even in the display suppression state. ) Is not displayed. In this case, the image display suppression is not displayed as a character string, so that the state can be easily discriminated by the user.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining an eighth example of the marks displayed corresponding to the existing portion of the frame image when the image display is suppressed and the image printing is suppressed. In FIG. 14 as well, as in the case described above, the display inhibition marks are changed to correspond to the positions where the images are present in the frame area to indicate that the frame images are present. . In the case of the display example shown in FIG. 14, the display inhibition mark is displayed as a character string along the diagonal line of the area where the image exists. This character string can also display a message by using a message character string that means a display suppression state.
In the display example of FIG. 14, the character string “suppression deterrent ...” is used.

As in the case described above, in FIG. 14, the solid line frame represents the image frame, and the alternate long and short dash line represents the display image. FIG. 14A shows a case where an image is displayed in a full image frame, and the existing portions of the image frame 70 and the image 71 overlap each other. In this case, in the display suppression state, the character string 141 of “suppression suppression suppression ...” Is displayed along the diagonal line of the image frame 70 corresponding to the image existing portion.

FIG. 14B shows image frame 70 through image 7.
This is a case where a part of 3 is set in a protruding state. In this case, the portion where the image frame 70 and the image 73 overlap is the image existing portion of the image frame 70. Therefore, corresponding to this image existing portion, "suppress, inhibit, suppress ... The character string 142 of "..." is displayed.

FIG. 14C shows a case where the image 75 is smaller than the image frame 70 and the image 75 is contained inside the image frame 70. In this case, the image 75
The entire area of the image corresponds to the existing portion of the image, so that the character string 143 of "inhibition, inhibition, inhibition ..." Is displayed along the diagonal line of the area corresponding to the portion in which the image exists. .

FIG. 14D shows a case where the image 77 is larger than the image frame 70 and the entire image 77 is not displayed within the image frame 70. In this case, the entire image frame 70 becomes the existing portion of the image 77. Therefore, in the display suppressed state, the image frame 70 corresponds to the image existing portion.
The frame lines of are overlapped. Therefore, in this case as well, the character string 144 of "suppression suppression suppression ..." Is displayed along the diagonal line of the image frame 70 that is the image existing portion.

FIG. 14E shows an image frame 70 and an image 7.
This is the case where the image frame 70 is separated from the image frame 9 and there is no overlapping portion of the image 79 in the image frame 70. In this case, the image frame 70
Since there is no part where the image exists and there is no area where the image is displayed, the mark displayed corresponding to the part where the image exists (the character string of “suppression suppression suppression ……”) is displayed even in the display suppression state. ) Is not displayed. In this case, the image display suppression is not displayed as a character string, so that the state can be easily discriminated by the user.
