Abstract

A method for composing text boxes includes such steps as choosing the text to be displayed, calculating its number of lines and average length of each line, determining the average line length between the maximal and minimal box widthes, setting up it to be the width of box, composing the text, substracting one from the number of lines for line feed, recording needed widthes setting up the minimal width of recorded widthes to be the display width of text box, and composing the text.

Description

The composition method of textbox

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of composition method, be applied to various textboxs, particularly a kind of white space that reduces reaches the composition method of the textbox of best composing effect.

Background technology

General textbox, the real time translation software or the index of general software annotations and comments file or the like for example, the mode of its text composition is nothing more than being following three kinds:

1, breadth extreme method: wide and the high line number and the length decision of textbox by literal to display, the word content that shows does not enter a new line (can not surpass the maximum magnitude that textbox can show certainly), the shortcoming of this method is if when showing long literal, textbox can be wide, if when each length drop of going was very big, then white space then can seem more.

2, fixed width method: the width of textbox is fixed, the guild that length surpasses its width enters a new line automatically, the shortcoming of this method is the width setup excessive (or word content is too short) when textbox, then white space can be quite a lot of, on the other hand, when the width setup of textbox too small (or when word content long), then can cause wrap text too much, make textbox draw oversizely.

3, mean value width method: the display width of textbox is by the word content decision that will show, the average length of the literal that will show is as display width, the long row row of average length (just greater than) is done line feed to be handled, but when running into line width (length of each row just) when distribution is more inhomogeneous, then can seeming, some local white space is excessive, and some local line number is too much.

A common drawback of these composing disposal routes is foot just, can't provide one to determine best display width at the different literals content for the user, makes whole the composing handle incorrectly, causes the space of a whole page not attractive in appearance.

Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of composition method of textbox,, can calculate the display width of textbox automatically, make white space minimum behind the textbox display text, the composing best results according to different display text contents to address the above problem.

Above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved in that a kind of composition method of textbox, it is characterized in that including at least the following step:

Choose the literal of required demonstration;

Calculate the line number of this literal and the average word length of this each row;

Confirm that this average length is between this textbox can the maximum and minimum widith of demonstration;

Set this average length for the width of this textbox to the processing of setting type of the literal of this demonstration;

The line number of literal that should line feed reduces delegation, and writes down its required width;

Minimum widith in the width of this record is set at the display width of this textbox; And

According to this display width should required demonstration text composition.

This shows, composition method according to textbox provided by the present invention, at first calculate the line number of the display text of wanting and the length of each row, and calculate its average length, then this average length is compared with maximal value and minimum value that textbox can show, less than the minimum value that textbox can show, the minimum value of then setting textbox is a display width as average length; As average length between maximal value and minimum value that textbox can show, then utilize average length to do the processing of setting type, and to have line feed each the style of writing word roll over row again, calculate minimum widith required when rolling over row back line number minimizing delegation (than the line number of pressing average length folding row gained), and with all literal by the some width values that the calculate processing of setting type again, be display width and select the width value of folding row back white space minimum; If average length greater than the maximal value that textbox can show, is then utilized maximal value to do to set type as width and handled, and calculating the developed width value behind each line space white region of elimination, is display width and select maximum wide value wherein; So,, calculate best display width and go to set type, can make the white space minimum after the composing, thereby obtain best composing effect at different situations.

Description of drawings

Figure 1A, Figure 1B are schematic flow sheet of the present invention;

Fig. 2 A～Fig. 2 C is the synoptic diagram of the present invention and known composition method.

Embodiment

Below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing thereof, the present invention is described in further detail.

The composition method of textbox disclosed according to the present invention, see also Figure 1A and Figure 1B, shown in Figure 1A, selected text frame literal (step 12) to display at first, and textbox shown translation content when can be real time translation software real time translation, or the index file of regular software or the like, then calculate literal line number to display and average length (step 13), (step 14) is in order to the optimum width of decision textbox then to compare breadth extreme that average length and textbox can show and minimum widith.

When average length during, then minimum widith is set at the width (step 15) of demonstration less than minimum value; When average length drops between maximal value and the minimum value, shown in Figure 1B, setting average length earlier is the width of textbox, come word content set type (step 16) with this, and the length of the line number after the processing of will setting type and each row is write down (step 17), then will set type handle after, wherein there is the line number of the part of line feed to reduce delegation's (width that increase just shows, make its line number reduce delegation), and write down each part and reduce the required width (step 18) of delegation, calculate by the white space size after these width values composings, the width of choosing the white space minimum is a display width (step 19) again; Its objective is in order effectively to reduce white space.

Last a kind of situation is shown in Figure 1B, when breadth extreme that mean value can show greater than textbox, then set the width that breadth extreme is a textbox, and with this to the word content processing (step 21) of setting type, line number after handling and the length that each is gone of setting type is write down (step 22), then calculate the developed width (removing the white space part) of every style of writing word, (step 23), be display width (step 24) with wherein maximum width setup then, in other words, just wherein the most approaching full that part of going is adjusted into the no white space of full row, and other part, line number can't increase, and white space also can relatively reduce.No matter and be which kind of situation, after final decision goes out display width, all utilize the width of this display width for textbox, literal to display set type and shown (step 25 among Figure 1A).

Then, actual giving one example done explanation, at first, see also Fig. 2 A, be the breadth extreme method of available technology adopting, it promptly is the width of textbox 40 according to maximum length, so be the width of textbox 40 with the row of first shown in scheming (first point), like this, the literal of whole textbox 40 is a four lines, 53 characters of every row, white space are 105 characters.Shown in Fig. 2 B, be the average length method that prior art adopts, calculate the average length of this four lines, be the display width of textbox 40 with this average length, the literal in the textbox 40 that obtains is seven row, 27 characters of every row, white space are 72 characters.At last, see also Fig. 2 C, be the textbox composing effect of utilizing method of the present invention to realize, because average length is in the indication range of textbox 40, so utilize the average length processing of setting type earlier, the line number of then calculating the part that line feed will wherein be arranged reduces the required width of delegation, and get wherein minimum width, and last result of calculation, the textbox 40 that obtains is the five-element, 34 characters of every row, white space are 62 characters.This shows, utilize composition method of the present invention, can obtain best composing effect so that the white space of textbox is minimum.

The present invention is a kind of composition method of textbox, utilize line number and the average length of calculating the display text of wanting, and the maximal value that can show by relatively average length and textbox and the minimum value display width of determining textbox, less than the minimum value that textbox can show, the minimum value of then setting textbox is a display width as average length; As judge average length between maximal value and minimum value that textbox can show, and then utilize average length to do the processing of setting type, and calculate the required width of line number minimizing delegation of the part that line feed is arranged, be display width and select wherein minimum width value; If average length greater than the maximal value that textbox can show, is then utilized maximal value to go to set type as width and is handled, and calculates the required width of white space of eliminating each row, is display width and select wherein maximum width value; So,, calculate best display width and go to set type, can make the white space minimum after the composing, obtain best composing effect at the situation of different word contents.

The above only is the present invention's preferred embodiment wherein, is not to be used for limiting practical range of the present invention; All equalizations of doing according to claim of the present invention change and modify, and are claim of the present invention and contain.
