Description
According to the 35th of U.S.C (a), this non-provisional application requires the right of priority of the patented claim submitted in Japan on June 10th, 2003 2003-165748 number, should incorporate this paper by reference at the full content of first to file.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of character generating apparatus and a kind ofly generate the method for character by the data of representing character shape, and a kind of character generator program that makes the flow process that computing machine carries out described method.The invention still further relates to a kind of computer readable recording medium storing program for performing of storing said program.The present invention preferably is applied to low-resolution display devices, such as LCD, EL display, plasma display, CRT and other similar display device.
Background technology
Hereinafter, will traditional character generating apparatus be introduced.
Statement words and phrases required complete character collection is called " font ", it comprise such as, for example " stomach " (accompanying drawing 13 (a)) or the such character information of " worker " (accompanying drawing 13 (b)).Each character of character set (font) all is assigned a character code (for example, JIS flip-flop, displacement (shift) JIS flip-flop, EUC sign indicating number, JIS graphic character code, UNICODE or the like).Font can comprise all the corresponding characters of encoding with one of above-mentioned coded system.In addition, font can only comprise KANA (Japanese ideogram character) or numeral etc.
One of font such as " stomach " (accompanying drawing 13 (a)), " worker " (accompanying drawing 13 (b)) etc., is called a " char ".Each character that is included in a kind of font all has a body frame, is represented by the W3 in the accompanying drawing 13.Body frame is defined as a kind of like this frame: this frame comprises interval between adjacent character or the interval between the adjacent lines, and body frame is essential when character horizontally-arranged or vertical setting of types are a character string, so that the body frame of adjacent character is joined each other.All characters in the font of the same race have the body frame of identical size.
Each character that is included in a kind of font all has a textbox, is represented by the W2 in the accompanying drawing 13.Textbox is defined as a kind of like this frame: the maximum sized frame with character shape.All characters in the same font have the textbox of identical size.
Each character that is included in a kind of font all has a character frame, is represented by the W1 in the accompanying drawing 13.The character frame is represented a scope, and in fact the shape of character designs in this scope.Therefore, the character frame of kinds of characters has different sizes.As accompanying drawing 13 (a) with (b), each character has the character frame of the rectangular shape that varies in size.For example, the character frame of " stomach " (accompanying drawing 13 (a)) is the bigger rectangle of character frame than " worker " (accompanying drawing 13 (b)).
Though for the sake of simplicity, the shape of character is to be represented by the stroke data of the scheme structure of representing character at accompanying drawing 13 (a) and (b), the shape of character also can be by the frame line data representation of representing character outline.
Character is by using, for example, Japan issued patents disclose 4-177295 number and Japan issued patents disclose the prior art of introduction in 5-257450 number, by the data generation of representing character shape.These documents disclose a kind of character generating apparatus, this equipment is when coming the printable character sequence by the high resolution printed equipment such as Linofilm, printer or other similar devices, according to the size of character, by changing the ratio of textbox and body frame, export the sequence of the character of balance.
Accompanying drawing 14 (a) and (b) expression above-mentioned technology an example.The ratio of " stomach " in the accompanying drawing 14 (a) or the textbox of " worker " and body frame is greater than the textbox of " stomach " or " worker " in the accompanying drawing 14 (b) and the ratio of body frame.
The example of the character that accompanying drawing 15 (a) and (b) expression reality are printed.In accompanying drawing 15 (a), three character strings have identical textbox and body frame ratio.In accompanying drawing 15 (b), three character strings have different textboxs and body frame ratio separately.Along with character boundary increases (top character string), textbox increases.In this case, the mode that is connected together mutually with the body frame of adjacent character when character is during by horizontally-arranged or vertical setting of types, by regulating the interval between the character, can make these characters from visually seeming bigger, so that this is unlikely at interval is excessive.
But, for example, in accompanying drawing 15 (a), when these characters are amplified the constant rate that keeps simultaneously between textbox and the body frame, interval between the character has also increased, and causes these characters too sparse, and therefore is difficult to these characters are distinguished that reading is a character string.
Japan's issued patents disclose 4-177295 number and Japanese issued patents discloses 5-257450 number this problem carried out following processing.For example, in accompanying drawing 15 (b), in amplification or character down, change the ratio of textbox and body frame.In the following manner intercharacter interval is regulated: when enlarged character, the ratio between textbox and the body frame is hour bigger than character.As a result, the character that can suppress to produce in the character string is sparse.
According to Japan's issued patents disclose 4-177295 number and Japan issued patents disclosed prior art in 5-257450 number is disclosed, for example, by regulating the ratio between textbox W2 and the body frame W3 (accompanying drawing 13 (a) and (b)), can make to seem big or little on the character list face.
But, in the time of on being presented at character such as the low-resolution display devices of LCD, EL display, plasma display, CRT or other similar devices with form with undersized bitmap, the size of each character can be different, come the matching literal frame unless have a mind to adjust the character frame.In this case, be difficult to debate and read these characters.
According to above-mentioned Japan issued patents disclose 4-177295 number and Japan issued patents disclosed prior art in 5-257450 number is disclosed, do not have definition character frame W1 with respect to the coordinate position of textbox W2 and the initial point (center) of character frame (accompanying drawing 13 (a) and (b)).Therefore, can't only adjust the character frame wittingly according to the ratio of textbox W2 and body frame W3 makes it to be complementary with textbox.Hereinafter, will be introduced this problem in further detail.
Accompanying drawing 2A represents the exemplary stroke data of " stomach ".With reference to accompanying drawing 2A, will be introduced adjust the method that a character makes it to be complementary with textbox by the information of utilizing the coordinate position represent the character frame or initial point (center).
Distance between the horizontal stroke #1-2 of character " stomach " and the top of textbox is 14, and this distance is that the y coordinate figure 241 that the y coordinate figure 255 with the textbox top deducts stroke #1-2 obtains.Distance between finishing touch #1-10 and the textbox bottom is 9, and this distance is that the y coordinate figure 0 that the y coordinate figure 9 with stroke #1-10 deducts textbox bottom obtains.
The y coordinate figure of the initial point of character " stomach " is 125 (=(255-(14+9))/2+9).Amplification/minification is about 1.1 (=255/ (255-(14+9))).
The y coordinate (=125) of use initial point and amplification/minification (=1.1) are amplified the y coordinate (=241) of stroke #1-2, with the matching literal frame.Y coordinate by (241-125) * 1.1+127.5 result of calculation is tried to achieve has obtained y coordinate figure 255.This value equals the y coordinate figure (=255) of textbox top.Counter sample, the y coordinate (=125) of use initial point and amplification/minification (=1.1) are amplified the y coordinate (=9) of stroke #1-10, with the matching literal frame.Y coordinate by y=(9-125) * 1.1+127.5 result of calculation is tried to achieve has obtained y coordinate figure 0.This value equals the y coordinate figure (=0) of textbox bottom.
Different therewith, Japan's issued patents disclose 4-177295 number and Japanese issued patents discloses the initial point that does not utilize the character frame for 5-257450 number.With reference to accompanying drawing 15 (b), according to these prior aries, be character is amplified or to dwindle by the ratio that changes textbox W2 and body frame W3, as described below.For example, the character among the accompanying drawing 2A " stomach " is amplified, the y coordinate that wherein is used to amplify/dwindle the initial point of processing is set to the y coordinate (=127.5) at textbox center, and amplification/minification is 1.1, and this is identical with top narration.Calculate the result (=241) of the y coordinate of stroke #1-2 by y=(241-127.5) * 1.1+127.5, obtained y coordinate figure 252, this value does not wait with the y coordinate figure (=255) of textbox top.Calculated the result (=9) of the y coordinate of stroke #1-10 by y=(9-127.5) * 1.1+127.5, obtained y coordinate figure 3, this value does not wait with the y coordinate figure (=0) of textbox bottom.
Therefore, need to represent the coordinate position of character frame or the information of initial point (center) to adjust character with the matching literal frame.If do not represent the coordinate position of character frame or the information of initial point (center) to utilize, but with the center of textbox initial point as the amplification of y coordinate/dwindle, the last bottom that so just can't adjust the character frame come the matching literal frame on bottom.

Hereinafter, will a kind of character generating method of the character generating apparatus of the formation like this of using present embodiment be introduced.
Accompanying drawing 7 is the process flow diagrams of each step that are used to explain the character generating method of the character generating apparatus that uses accompanying drawing 1.
As shown in Figure 7, in step S1, imported a character code from described character code importation 2.For example, imported a Chinese character " stomach " (character code 1663 (JIS graphic character code)).This input utilizes keyboard to carry out assumed name-Chinese character conversion by the user and finishes.
In step S2, specify bitmap size of importation 3 inputs from size.For example, " 19 " have been imported as bitmap size corresponding to textbox.This input knocks keyboard " 1 " by the user and " 9 " key is finished.
In step S3, from storage area 1, read character data corresponding to the character of the character code of in step S1, importing.
For example, the character data of accompanying drawing 3A is as the character data of Chinese character " stomach " (accompanying drawing 2A, character code 1663 (JIS graphic character code)).Replacedly, read the character data of the character data of accompanying drawing 3B as katakana character " worker " (accompanying drawing 2B, character code 0508 (JIS graphic character code)).Replacedly, read the character data of the character data of accompanying drawing 3C as Chinese character " three " (accompanying drawing 2C, character code 2716 (JIS graphic character code)).
In step S4, amplify/dwindle 4 inquiries of type switching part and amplify/dwindle type stores part 6, and whether judge character code in step S1, import and the bitmap size of in step S2, importing, and whether be that they have given amplification/dwindle type corresponding to character code that amplifies/dwindle appointment in the type stores part 6 and bitmap size.Specified in amplifying/dwindling type stores part 6 that amplification/when dwindling type, processing procedure enters step S5.In amplifying/dwindling type stores part 6, do not specify to amplify/when dwindling type, processing procedure enters step S6.
For example, in accompanying drawing 5, symbol "? " character code be 0109 (JIS graphic character code).When symbol "? " bitmap size when being " 19 ", for it has given amplification/dwindle Type C, as shown in Figure 6.In this case, processing procedure enters step S5.The character code of Chinese character " stomach " is 1663 (JIS graphic character codes).When the bitmap size of Chinese character " stomach " is " 19 ", does not give and amplify/dwindle type for it.In this case, processing procedure enters step S6.
When in step S4, determine to amplify/dwindle and given amplification/when dwindling type (being) in the type stores part 6, execution in step S5.In step S5, amplify/dwindle type switching part 4 and from amplify/dwindle type stores part 6, choose and character code and the corresponding amplification of bitmap size/dwindle type.Subsequently, processing procedure enters into step S9.
For example, in accompanying drawing 5, symbol "? " character code be 0109 (JIS graphic character code).When its bitmap size is " 19 ", chooses and amplify/dwindle Type C.
When in step S4, determine to amplify/dwindle and do not give when amplifying/dwindling type (denying) execution in step S6 in the type stores part 6.In step S6, whether the character code of importing among the determining step S1 is Chinese character.When being Chinese character, processing procedure enters step S7.When being not Chinese character, processing procedure enters step S8.
In step S7, by amplify/dwindle type switching part 4 according to the bitmap size of importing among the step S2 determine to amplify/dwindle type.Subsequently, processing procedure enters step S9.
For example, in accompanying drawing 6, the character code of Chinese character " stomach " is 1663 (JIS graphic character codes).When the bitmap size of this Chinese character " stomach " is " 11 ", select to amplify/dwindle type A.When the bitmap size of this kanji character " stomach " is " 19 ", select to amplify/dwindle Type C.
In step S8, select to amplify/dwindle type B.
For example, be that type B selected to amplify/to dwindle in the katakana " worker " of 0608 (JIS graphic character code) for character code.
In step S9, if the amplification of determining in step S5 or S7/dwindle type is not " C " (denying), then processing procedure enters step S11.If the amplification of determining in step S5 or S7/dwindle type is " C " (being), then processing procedure enters step S10.
In step S10, when amplifying/dwindling type for " C ", whether the character frame that calculates the character data that reads in step S3 is tall and big in wide (lengthwise type), perhaps is wider than height (type of growing crosswise), to determine to amplify/dwindle type, that is, and " C-1 " or " C-2 ".
For example, shown in accompanying drawing 2A, original character data is comprised in 256 * 256 the textbox, that is, from (0,0) to the coordinate data scope of (255,255) (comprising (0,0) and (255,255)) in.Before conversion, coordinate data is by (x y) represents, and after the textbox that transforms to (n+1) * (n+1) (n=255 among the accompanying drawing 2A), coordinate data is by (nx ny) represents.The minimum x coordinate of character frame is represented by min_x, and the maximum x coordinate of character frame is represented by max_x.The minimum y coordinate of character frame is represented by min_y, and the maximum y coordinate of character frame is represented by max_y.In this case, the developed width of character frame is:
mx＝max_x-min_x。
The true altitude of character frame is:
my＝max_y-min_y。
When mx=＜my, determine that this character frame is the lengthwise type.Type " C-1 " is amplified/is dwindled in selection.Processing procedure enters step S11.
When mx＞my, determine that the character frame is the type of growing crosswise.Type " C-2 " is amplified/is dwindled in selection.Processing procedure enters step S11.
For example, under the situation of the character data " stomach " of accompanying drawing 3A, the developed width mx of character frame be 205 (=230-25), and the true altitude of character frame be 232 (=241-9).Therefore, this character frame be the lengthwise type and select to amplify/to dwindle type " C-1 ".
Under the situation of the character data " three " of accompanying drawing 3C, the developed width mx of character frame be 239 (=247-8), and the true altitude of character frame be 206 (=231-25).Therefore, this character frame be the type of growing crosswise and select to amplify/to dwindle type " C-2 ".
In step S11, according to the character data that reads among the bitmap size of importing among the step S2, the step S3 and in step S5, S7 or S8, select amplification/dwindling type amplifies/dwindles conversion.To amplify/dwindling the numerical value of trying to achieve in the conversion and be rounded to integer.
For example, shown in accompanying drawing 2A, original character data is comprised in 256 * 256 the textbox, that is, from (0,0) to the coordinate data scope of (255,255) (comprising (0,0) and (255,255)) in.Before conversion, coordinate data is by (x y) represents, and after the textbox that transforms to (n+1) * (n+1) (n=255 among the accompanying drawing 2A), coordinate data is by (nx ny) represents.The minimum x coordinate of character frame is represented by min_x, and the maximum x coordinate of character frame is represented by max_x.The minimum y coordinate of character frame is represented by min_y, and the maximum y coordinate of character frame is represented by max_y.In this case, the developed width of character frame is:
mx＝max_x-min_x。
The true altitude of character frame is:
my＝max_y-min_y。
For example, when amplifying/dwindle type when " A ", amplify/dwindle coordinate after the conversion (nx, ny) obtain according to following expression formula:
(nx，ny)＝((x-min_x)×n/mx，(y-min_y)×n/my)......(1)。

When having chosen amplification/when dwindling type " B ", amplify/dwindle coordinate after the conversion (nx, ny) calculate by following expression formula:
(nx，ny)＝(x×n/255，y×n/255)......(2)。
For example, when the bitmap size of importing in step S2 is, use above-mentioned expression formula (2) that the character data " stomach " of accompanying drawing 2A is transformed to the character data value shown in the accompanying drawing 8C at 23.Like this, generated the character of the constant rate of maintenance textbox shown in accompanying drawing 9 (c) and character frame.
For example, when the bitmap size of importing in step S2 is, use above-mentioned expression formula (2) that the character data " worker " of accompanying drawing 2B is transformed to the character data value shown in the accompanying drawing 10 (c) at 23.Like this, generated the character that keeps the constant rate of textbox and character frame.
For example, when having chosen amplification/when dwindling type " C-1 ", amplify/dwindle coordinate after the conversion (nx, ny) calculate by following expression formula:
(nx，ny)＝((((x-min_x)×255/my)+z)×n/255，
(y-min_y)×n/my)，......(3)
Wherein
z＝(255-(255×mx/my))×min_x/(min_x+255-max_x)。
For example, when the bitmap size of importing among the step S2 is, use above-mentioned expression formula (3) that the character data among the accompanying drawing 2A " stomach " is transformed to the character data value shown in the accompanying drawing 8B at 19.Like this, produced a character that the last bottom with textbox as shown in accompanying drawing 9 (b) joins.
For example, when having chosen amplification/when dwindling type " C-2 ", amplify/dwindle coordinate after the conversion (nx, ny) calculate by following expression formula:
(nx，ny)＝((x-min_x)×n/mx)，
(((y-min_y)×255/mx)+z)×n/255)......(4)
Wherein
z＝(255-(255×my/mx))×min_y/(min_y+255-max_y)。
For example, when the bitmap size of importing among the step S2 is, use above-mentioned expression formula (4) that the character data among the accompanying drawing 2C " three " is transformed to the character data value shown in the accompanying drawing 11 at 19.Like this, generated a character that joins with limit, left and right sides textbox shown in accompanying drawing 9 (d).
