Ｓ８０６は、「各グループの仮最適化」であり、比率を（大）＝２．０、（中）＝１．５、（小）＝１．０の仮最適化を行う。
Ｓ８０７は、「各グループの級数算出」である。例えば版下サイズ６の縦方向を２４ｍｍとすると、図１１の様に、上方よりＡグループ、Ｂグループ、Ｃグループ、Ｄグループの積層状態で比率合計は５．５となる。
文字の大きさは、ＪＩＳ規格（Ｘ０２０７−１９７９）により１級当り０．２５ｍｍと決められており、版下サイズ６の縦方向２４ｍｍを０．２５で割った級数が全体の有効級数となり９６級である。更に、９６級を全体比率５．５で割ると、１比率当り＝１７．４５４５・・・級数となる。小数点以下を切り捨てて、（小）のＡ、Ｄグループの級数を１７級とする。次に、（小）の級数から、（中）及び（大）の級数を求める。実施例によると、（中）：１７×１．５＝２５．５⇒２５級（少数点以下を切捨て処理を行う）、（大）：１７×２＝３４級となる。最後に、各グループの積層状態の級数は、Ａグループ：１７級、Ｂグループ：３４級、Ｃグループ：２５級、Ｄグループ：１７級となり、合計は９３級（＝２３．２５ｍｍ）である。
【００２６】
Ｓ８０８は、「各グループと版下サイズ６による間隔算出」であり、Ａグループ（１７級：４．２５ｍｍ）、Ｂグループ（３４級：８．５ｍｍ）、Ｃグループ（２５級：６．２５ｍｍ）、Ｄグループ（１７級：４．２５ｍｍ）となり、版下サイズ６の縦方向２４ｍｍに対して、
（版下サイズ６の縦方向：２４ｍｍ）−（各グループの総和：２３．２５ｍｍ）＝（間隔：０．７５ｍｍ）という関係が成立する。この間隔が各グループの間に振り分けられる。
Ｓ８０９は、「間隔の割り当て算出・分配」であり、各グループとの間隔Ｊ、グループ数をＧとすると、Ｊ＝０．７５ｍｍ／（４−１）＝０．２５ｍｍとなる。そしてこの間隔Ｊを各グループ間に分配する。（図１３）
【００２７】
Ｓ８１０は、「グループ内での再配置」であり縦横方向の補正を行う。（図１５、図１６）先ず縦方向の再配置（調整）は、グループＣのように、同じグループ内に前記Ｓ６０２で設定したように異なるサイズの文字列が存在する。その際は例えばＣグループを参考にすると、縦方向の中心線（すなわち第４文字列の縦方向の中心線と第５文字列の縦方向の中心線）が揃うように配置する。
補正の方法は、第４文字列の縦方向の大きさをＹ、第５文字列の縦方向の大きさをＰとしており、Ｑは第４文字列、第５文字列の上下の揃え間隔であり、Ｑ（上下揃え間隔）＝（Ｐ−Ｙ）／２により小さいサイズの文字列を補正する。
【００２８】
次に、横方向の場合の補正は、版下サイズ６の左右の縦線範囲を超えている場合、及び版下サイズ６の左右の縦線範囲を超えていない場合には次のように補正処理する。
例えば、グループＡにある第1文字列と第２文字列のように第１文字列の左端縦線が版下サイズ６の左端縦線を超えている場合や、第２文字列の右端縦線が前記版下サイズ６の右端縦線を超えている場合は、無条件に版下サイズ６の左右縦線に第Ｘ文字列の縦線を合わせる。
【００２９】
次に、第Ｘ文字列の左右縦線が版下サイズ６の左右縦線の内側に位置している場合は、前記第Ｘ文字列の左右縦線と前記版下サイズ６の左右縦線の間隔をＵ（ＵＬ，ＵＲ）とすると、Ｕ≦２ｍｍの場合、第Ｘ文字列の左端縦線を前記版下サイズ６の左右縦線に合わせる。
左間隔をＵＬとし、右間隔をＵＲとすると、Ｕ＞２ｍｍで、ＵＲ＜ＵＬ×３、且つＵＬ＜ＵＲ×３の場合は、文字列幅の大きさＷの中心に第Ｘ文字列の中心を一致させ、左右の間隔Ｕが同じになるように補正処理を行う。
例として第６文字列で説明すると、第６文字列の中心と版下サイズ６の中心が一致し、左右の間隔Ｕを同一にする。
【００３０】
最後に、版下サイズ６の領域内に収まり、版下サイズ６の左右縦線と第Ｘ文字列の左右縦線の関係が、左右の間隔ＵでＵＬ＞２ｍｍかつＵＲ＞２ｍｍかつＵＬとＵＲの関係がＵＬ≧ＵＲ×３又はＵＲ≧ＵＬ×３の場合は、横（水平）方向の位置は現在の位置を維持する。
こうしてＳ９で最終確認をしてＯＫであれば完了となり、再度版下調整の必要があればＳ７に戻り再度版下調節処理を行うことが出来、また、作成した版下サイズ６を縮小することは自由に出来る。Ｓ２からＳ９までの手段は処理装置５内で処理されるだけに限らず、ホストコンピュ−ターを用いて処理されても良い。こういったように、版下作成が手馴れていない経験の浅い者でも、熟練した版下作成者と同様な版下を作成でき、印章やラベル等、この版下を使用出来るものに対して容易に適用できるものである。
【００３１】
第２の実施例として、印章やラベル等を見ていくと、図の挿入されているものが多くあり、こうした図を挿入した場合を第２の実施例として図割付領域１０を設けたとすると、まず図割付領域１０を優先させ処理していく。
従って、Ｓ２とＳ３の間にＳＳを設ける。（図１７）
ＳＳ１は、マウス等で図割付領域１０を設定する。版下サイズ６上にマウスで始点をクリックし、ドラッグして終点を設定する。
ＳＳ２は、図割付領域１０の垂直方向であり版下サイズ６の領域上方端横線又は下方端横線より領域外であれば図割付領域１０の上方線又は下方線を版下サイズ６の領域上方線又は下方線に合わせる。（図２０（１），（２））
【００３２】
ＳＳ３は、図割付領域１０の水平方向であり版下サイズ６の左右端縦線より領域外であれば前記版下サイズ６の左右端縦線に合わせる。（図２０（３）、（４））
ＳＳ４は、ＳＳ１〜ＳＳ３の過程を経て図割付領域１０の仮位置を決定する。ＳＳ５はこの図割付領域１０に挿入する図を入力し寸法調整（変形）を行う。その際挿入図の縦寸法（ＨＨ）横寸法（ＧＧ）と図割付領域１０の縦寸法（ＨＦ）横寸法（ＧＦ）の大きさは検出し、図割付領域１０の縦横寸法より挿入図の縦横寸法のどちらかが大きい場合は次の変形を行う。
【００３３】
両者の比率は、縦比率をＹＦ、横比率をＸＦとしたなら、ＹＦ＝ＨＦ／ＨＨ、又は、ＸＦ＝ＧＦ／ＧＧとなり、ＹＦとＸＦは小数点第1位までで第２位以下を切捨て処理を行う。そして縦方向又は横方向の挿入図を変形させる。縦：横＝１：１とするならばマウスで図割付領域を設定する際に、マウスの動きを１：１で規制し、ドラッグし図領域を設定する。
これで決定した図割付領域の縦横比率と挿入図の縦横寸法を検出し、大きい場合には比率の大きい方に合わせて同一比率で縦横の変形を行う。
【００３４】
ＳＳ６は、挿入図が入力された図割付領域の位置決定であり、ＳＳ５までで良ければ確定させる。もし、位置を少し移動させるのであれば前記図割付領域全体をドラッグして移動可能となる。但し、版下サイズ６から領域外にはみ出した場合、ＳＳ２、ＳＳ３ではみ出した方向には前記図割付領域をドラッグ出来ない。こうして良ければ前記挿入図が入力された図領域を確定させる。（ＳＳ７）
【００３５】
次にＳＳ７を経て、例として図１７の場合、前記図割付領域は版下サイズ６の左側に位置しており前記図割付領域の右端縦線が限度位置になり、版下サイズ６の左端縦線と同じ取扱処理を行い、Ｓ３からＳ９までを行う。ここでは、文字列として４つの文字列、第１１文字列、第１２文字列、第１３文字列、第１４文字列を図１７の様に順次配置している。
また、図割付領域１０の最下方線と版下サイズ６の下方線との間隔をＸとすると、Ｘと最下方の文字列（第１４文字列）の縦方向の幅Ｖが、Ｘ＞Ｖであれば、前記図割付領域１０のＸに第１４文字列が挿入され、他の文字列とは異なり版下サイズ６の左端縦線が限度位置になる。こうして第１４文字列はＳ８の版下調整処理を第１実施例の様に行われる。
また、Ｘ＞Ｖであっても図割付領域１０の下方に文字列を挿入する必要が無ければ、第１４文字列をＳ３からＳ６で設定する際に、図割付領域１０の右端縦線を限度位置に設定すれば良い。
【００３６】
第２の実施例の図１７、図１８は、図割付領域が左側であるが右側であっても良い。また中央近傍に図割付領域を設けた場合は、図割付領域の左端縦線が限度位置になり版下サイズ６の右端縦線と同一取扱となる。また、図割付領域の右端縦線が限度位置になり版下サイズ６の左端縦線と同一取扱となる。これ以後はＳ３からＳ９まで同様な処理を行う。
こうして、あまり経験を有しない者であっても、熟練者と同じような版下を作成できる。これら版下は、特には印章関係（印鑑や印判等）、ラベル（住所ラベル、指名ラベル等）、名刺に使用できるものである。
【００３７】
【効果】
以上のような、処理方法をとることによって経験の無い者でも容易に経験者と同様な版下が作成でき、印章作成や、ラベル作成や名刺作成に使用出来る。
詳しくは、版下調整には作業者が最後まで画面確認が出来、更に作業者の熟練性を必要とせず、誰もが同一品質のものを手間を掛けずに作成できるほか、パターンも自由に作成出来るものである。
こうしたことより、誰もが容易に画一的に版下作成を行える版下調整システムを提供できたものである。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to the creation of an original plate, such as a stamp processing machine, a stamp processing machine, and a label processing machine, on a computer using a personal computer (PC) and a general-purpose computer. is there.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when creating a stamp or a stamp, a master is created using a PC.
The original version is a version, which is created by checking on a screen (display) while creating a combination of characters, pictures, designs, etc. on the PC software.
If the block can be confirmed as OK, it is processed along the block by an engraving processing machine, a laser processing machine, a light emission processing machine or the like.
Thus, with the recent evolution of PCs, it has become possible to perform processing on PC software quickly and easily. However, even though it is created by a PC, the composition has a balance of character arrangement, character size, etc., and it is very difficult to achieve this balance (adjustment), which requires skill.
[0003]
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-314543 (hereinafter referred to as (I)) is an application for creating a block copy of a seal stamp such as a real seal, a bank seal, and a seal stamp by a computer.
As described in paragraph (0004) of (i), there is a problem that it is necessary to adjust the imprint, that is, the character balance. Such a seal is particularly required because it has a seal, but the arrangement and balance of the characters can be made only by skilled persons, and the purpose is the same. For this reason, (a) can be used by using characters created in a circular shape, semicircular shape or fan shape, or by storing a single or a plurality of characters, called stamps, in left and right semicircular shapes. It is said. This data is sent to the engraving machine to engrave the seal.
However, these (a) are different from the present invention in their means and methods because the composition is created by combining characters that are already prepared in advance or by being inserted into the specified area. It is. That is, the PC does not automatically adjust the positional relationship and balance of characters and the like (according to a certain method).
[0004]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-234846 (hereinafter referred to as (b)) has been filed for a character assignment method and apparatus for a stamp face and a label print face.
(B) is an invention relating to equal assignment between characters in one line, and [Claim 6] has a description of a plurality of lines, and the object of the invention is equal assignment between characters in the line. The [0124] paragraph in the specification also describes a three-line character arrangement, but it does not clearly describe the method of equalization between lines, and further differs in the method of equalization between characters. is there.
[0005]
JP-A-2000-43391 (hereinafter referred to as (C)) and JP-A-2000-48219 (hereinafter referred to as (D)) are prior applications. Both (c) and (d) are both systems related to the creation of seal stamps and are the same as the applicant of the present invention.
(C) is an invention for creating a stamp block, and in paragraph [0006], the stamping form of the stamping form is selected and determined, such as a square type, a rectangular type, or a stamping direction such as horizontal or vertical writing. A stamp form conforming to is read from the storage device and displayed. There is a description that the layout creating means appropriately arranges characters and figures (including lines, frames, symbols, images, etc.) on the stamp form, and does not give the arrangement, that is, uniformity.
[0006]
Furthermore, on line 31 of paragraph [0007], “If you want to modify and adjust the font, layout, etc., switch to the adjustment screen, specify the line of the character bar you want to adjust, You can change the aspect ratio or adjust the appearance by directly specifying the characters with the mouse etc. and moving them up, down, left, and right.The actual adjustment method is to adjust the adjustment screen from the device that stores the stamp form. When you move the character bar line on the call adjustment screen, the characters, figures, etc. move directly with it, and you can adjust it while looking at the screen. If you stop the numbers, the stamp will stop adjusting.
Therefore, the adjustment requires screen confirmation to the end and the skill of the worker, and the object and configuration are different from the present invention.
[0007]
(D) As in claim 1, select the stamp face shape, stamp face direction, and size, select a stamp form that fits it, place characters and figures on it, expand the layout, It is also provided with stamping surface adjustment means for adjusting the condition and balance of the figure. However, as shown on the fourth page and third line of the specification, FIG. 7 shows the adjustment screen. Similarly to (c), the operator adjusts the balance of characters and figures on the screen while moving the character bar and numbers on the adjustment screen. It is a method of adjusting while confirming. Accordingly, (d), like (c), it is necessary for the operator to check the screen to the end and the skill of the operator in order to adjust the printing surface, and the object and configuration are different from the present invention.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the adjustment of the composition at the time of creating the composition requires the operator to check the screen to the end and the skill of the worker. The composition is created based on the skill level of the worker or the individual sense of the worker. In addition to the time and effort required, everything is patterned and applied to it, creating a composition, and if it does not fit the pattern, there is a problem that a composition cannot be created, and it is easy for beginners There is a problem that the composition cannot be adjusted.
Thus, it is intended to provide a composition adjustment system that allows anyone to easily and uniformly create a composition.
[0010]

[0012]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention are shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. 16, FIG. 17, FIG. 18, FIG. 19, and FIG. 20 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 1, the hardware device 1 of the present invention is a general device, and includes an input device 2, a display device 3, a storage device 4, and a processing device 5.
The input device 2 is a keyboard, a mouse, an image scanner, a digital camera, a touch panel, etc. for inputting character data constituting a composition, graphic data including symbols and images, and causing the processing device to perform various commands. Consists of. The display device 3 includes a CRT display device that displays various data on the screen, a liquid crystal display, and the like. The storage device 4 includes a hard disk device, a magneto-optical disk device, a memory, and the like, and stores the program of the present invention, graphic data, and composition data after composition.
[0013]
The storage device 4 may be directly connected to the processing device 5, or another personal computer, workstation, host computer, etc. on a network connected by a LAN cable or the like may be used. The processing device 5 includes a microprocessor, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. The processing device 5 reads and executes the program of the present invention, develops input character data into a specific or arbitrary layout, Data is supplied to a display device to perform display processing and the like. Although not always necessary, it is convenient to prepare a label to be attached to the check end of the block or the grip end of the stamp if the printing apparatus 11 including a laser printer, an ink jet printer, a thermal transfer printer or the like is provided.
[0014]
The present invention is means used when creating an original such as a block original and a label using the hardware device 1. This means will be described in detail.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the whole, which will be described based on the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the start, the hardware device is turned on, and the input device 2, the display device 3, the storage device 4, and the processing device 5 are activated. (S1)
[0015]
S2 is a layout layout selection (S2), in which layouts of various layout sizes 6 stored in advance from the storage device 4 are displayed on the display device, and a desired layout size 6 is selected and displayed therein. Display on the device.
The block size 6 has various shapes such as a quadrangle, a triangle, and a circle, and the size can be used from 8 mm × 16 mm or more if the block or label can be created. If it is a square size, it can be used from 9 mm × 9 mm or more, and a circle can be used from a diameter of 6 mm or more. In particular, the present embodiment uses a rectangle, and the block size 6 will be described as 24 mm × 71 mm. (Figure 3)
[0016]
S3 is a character string selection, and the start point and the end point of the diagonal position are set while clicking with a mouse or the like at an appropriate position in the composition size 6. This is the character string allocation width 7.
In S4, a character is input to the character string allocation width 7. Keyboard input and touch screen input with a finger, touch pen input, tablet input, voice input, and the like are possible. For example, assume that the keyboard input is “Ai Yueo” in the character string allocation width 7 created in S3. (Fig. 4)
[0017]
Next, the character “Ai Yueo” is assigned to the character string assignment width 7 here. The character string allocation width 7 is W (horizontal length), and the width of each input character is (character: sub) A, (character: Italy) B, (character: U) C, (character: Picture) D, (character: tail) E. When the widths of the input characters are totaled, the total input character width T satisfies the relationship T = A + B + C + D + E.
[0018]
S5 is an allocation process to the character string allocation width 7 (FIG. 5), and the details in S5 are performed from S501 to S504. First, in S501, the area determination between the size W of the character string allocation width 7 and the total input character width T, which is the total size of characters to be input, is performed in S5 of the processing device 5.
In the process, if W ≧ T, when the number of characters is N, S = (W−T) / (N−1) is used to provide an interval S between the widths of the input characters to make the input characters uniform. Allocate within the size W of the character string allocation width. (FIG. 6) At this time, since N is 5 characters, S = (WT) / 4.
If W <T, the deformation rate R of the character is calculated, and the width of the input character of each input character is deformed by this deformation rate R. For example, the deformation rate R = W / T, a = A × R, b = B × R, c = C × R, d = D × R, and e = E × R. (FIG. 7) Thus, abcde can be allocated uniformly in W, and the input character allocation is completed. Thus, the first character string allocation width 7 is completed, and this is defined as the first character string.
[0019]
In this way, the first character string is completed. Similarly, for example, the second character string is determined at an approximate position with the mouse at an appropriate position, and the character string allocation width 7B is provisionally determined, similarly to the first character string. Enter characters in. By repeating the steps S501 to S504 as many times as necessary, and placing the Xth character string at the approximate position, a temporarily determined state can be obtained.
Taking this state as an example, S501 to S504 are repeated, and FIG. 8 repeats these operations six times, and arranges the character strings up to the sixth character string.
At this time, when looking at FIG. 8, the widths of the character strings partially overlap or protrude beyond the area of the composition size 6, but the first character string is arranged for the time being.
S6 is a temporary character string arrangement within the block size.
S7 is the completion of the arrangement input in the state where the character string arrangement is performed for the time being in the composition size in S6.
[0020]
S8 is a composition adjustment process and goes through steps S801 to S810. (Fig. 9)
In step S801, the size ratio of each character string is set. The size of the smallest character string is detected among the Xth character strings created by the operator. The size of a character string is a character series. The character series is based on JISX0207-1979. The smallest character string is detected, and the size ratio M of each character string with respect to the smallest character string is calculated. The ratio to each character string is obtained. For example, in the present embodiment, the first character string is assumed to be the smallest.
Size ratio (M) = character size of the Xth character string (series) / character size of the first character string (series).
The smallest character string is obtained by detecting the input character series and automatically determining it. For example, since the first character string is the smallest, the size ratio of the second character string is 1.12, the size ratio of the third character string is 2.21, the size ratio of the fourth character string is 1.01, Assume that the size ratio of the fifth character string is 1.57 and the size ratio of the sixth character string is 1.15.
[0021]
In step S802, character strings are classified based on the following conditional expression.
The conditional expression is small if the size ratio (M) <1.3 obtained in S801, medium if 1.3 ≦ size ratio (M) <2, and large if 2 ≦ size ratio (M). It is set to do.
In step S803, S804, S805, and S806, group setting of each character string is sequentially performed.
S803 is grouping, and when there are first to sixth character strings, the leftmost first character string and second character string, third character string, fourth character string, fifth character string, 6 character strings are compared.
If the first character string is group A, the vertical length H of the first character string and the area overlap of the first character string and the second character string are K, and if K> H / 2, the first character string and the second character string Strings are in the same group. When K ≦ H / 2, the first character string and the second character string are in different groups. Thus, the first character string, the third character string, the fourth character string, the fifth character string, and the sixth character string are compared. (FIGS. 10 and 11)
[0022]
Next, a lower character string that is not in the same group as the first character string is used as a reference. For example, based on the third character string, if the vertical length H of the third character string and the area overlap of the third character string and the fourth character string are K, and K> H / 2, the third character string and the fourth character string Strings are in the same group. If K ≦ H / 2, the third character string and the fourth character string are in different groups. In this example, it is a separate group.
Furthermore, the comparison process is repeated with the fifth character string and the sixth character string based on the third character string to classify the same group or another group.
Similarly, using the fourth character string as a reference, the same comparison process as described above is performed, and the same repetition process is performed up to the sixth character string.
[0023]
Next, in S805, the first character string and the second character string are in the same group, and in S802, “the maximum value among the ratio numbers” is adopted. Thus, in the above example, the first character string and the second character string are A group (small), the third character string is B group (large), the fourth character string and the fifth character string are C group (medium), Six character strings are D group (small).
Table 1 shows the results from S801 to S805 on the basis of the examples. The numbers 1 to 5 represent S801 to S805 in order, respectively.
[0024]
[Table 1]

[0025]
S806 is “temporary optimization of each group”, and temporary optimization is performed with the ratios of (large) = 2.0, (medium) = 1.5, and (small) = 1.0.
S807 is “series calculation of each group”. For example, assuming that the longitudinal direction of the block size 6 is 24 mm, the total ratio is 5.5 in the stacked state of the A group, the B group, the C group, and the D group from above as shown in FIG.
The character size is determined to be 0.25 mm per class according to the JIS standard (X0207-1979), and the series obtained by dividing the longitudinal size 24 mm of the block size 6 by 0.25 becomes the overall effective class 96 class It is. Furthermore, dividing the 96 class by the overall ratio of 5.5 gives 17.4545 series per ratio. The fractional part is rounded down, and the series of the (small) A and D groups is set to 17. Next, the (medium) and (large) series are obtained from the (small) series. According to the embodiment, (middle): 17 × 1.5 = 25.5 => 25th class (the fractional number is cut off), (large): 17 × 2 = 34th class. Finally, the series of the lamination state of each group is A group: 17th grade, B group: 34th grade, C group: 25th grade, D group: 17th grade, and the total is 93th grade (= 23.25 mm).
[0026]
S808 is “interval calculation by each group and block size 6”, A group (17th grade: 4.25 mm), B group (34th grade: 8.5 mm), C group (25th grade: 6.25 mm) , D group (17th grade: 4.25mm)
(Vertical direction of composition size 6: 24 mm)-(total of each group: 23.25 mm) = (interval: 0.75 mm) is established. This interval is distributed among the groups.
S809 is “interval allocation calculation / distribution”, where J = 0.75 mm / (4-1) = 0.25 mm, where G is the interval J between groups and G is the number of groups. This interval J is distributed among the groups. (Fig. 13)
[0027]
S810 is “relocation within a group”, and correction in the vertical and horizontal directions is performed. (FIG. 15, FIG. 16) First, in the rearrangement (adjustment) in the vertical direction, as in group C, character strings of different sizes exist in the same group as set in S602. In this case, for example, referring to the group C, the vertical center lines (that is, the vertical center line of the fourth character string and the vertical center line of the fifth character string) are arranged to be aligned.
In the correction method, the vertical size of the fourth character string is Y, the vertical size of the fifth character string is P, and Q is the vertical alignment interval of the fourth character string and the fifth character string. Yes, a character string having a smaller size is corrected to Q (vertical alignment interval) = (P−Y) / 2.
[0028]
Next, the correction in the horizontal direction is corrected as follows when the left and right vertical line range of the block size 6 is exceeded and when the horizontal line range of the block size 6 is not exceeded. To process.
For example, when the left end vertical line of the first character string exceeds the left end vertical line of the composition size 6 as in the first character string and the second character string in the group A, or the right end vertical line of the second character string Is over the right end vertical line of the block size 6, the vertical line of the Xth character string is unconditionally aligned with the left and right vertical lines of the block size 6.
[0029]
Next, when the left and right vertical lines of the Xth character string are located inside the left and right vertical lines of the composition size 6, the left and right vertical lines of the Xth character string and the left and right vertical lines of the composition size 6 are Assuming that the interval is U (UL, UR), if U ≦ 2 mm, the left end vertical line of the Xth character string is aligned with the left and right vertical lines of the composition size 6.
When the left interval is UL and the right interval is UR, if U> 2 mm, UR <UL × 3, and UL <UR × 3, the center of the Xth character string is the center of the character string width W. And the correction process is performed so that the distance U between the left and right is the same.
For example, in the case of the sixth character string, the center of the sixth character string coincides with the center of the composition size 6, and the left and right intervals U are made the same.
[0030]
Finally, the relationship between the left and right vertical lines of the block size 6 and the left and right vertical lines of the Xth character string is UL> 2 mm and UR> 2 mm and UL and UR at the left and right intervals U. When the relationship of UL ≧ UR × 3 or UR ≧ UL × 3, the position in the horizontal (horizontal) direction maintains the current position.
In this way, the final confirmation is made in S9, and if it is OK, the process is completed. If it is necessary to adjust the composition again, it is possible to return to S7 and perform the composition adjustment process again. Can do it freely. The means from S2 to S9 are not limited to being processed in the processing device 5, but may be processed using a host computer. In this way, even those who are inexperienced in creating a composition can create a composition similar to that of a skilled composition creator, and can use this composition such as seals and labels. It can be easily applied.
[0031]
As a second example, when looking at a seal, a label, etc., there are many figures inserted, and assuming that a figure allocation area 10 is provided as a second example when such a figure is inserted, First, the figure allocation area 10 is prioritized and processed.
Therefore, SS is provided between S2 and S3. (Fig. 17)
SS1 sets the figure allocation area 10 with a mouse or the like. Click the start point on the size 6 and drag to set the end point.
SS2 is the vertical direction of the figure allocation area 10, and if it is outside the area of the upper end horizontal line or the lower end horizontal line of the undersize size 6, the upper or lower line of the figure assignment area 10 is set as the upper area of the undersize size 6 area. Or adjust to the lower line. (Fig. 20 (1), (2))
[0032]
SS3 is in the horizontal direction of the figure allocation area 10 and is aligned with the left and right end vertical lines of the undersize 6 if it is outside the area from the left and right end vertical lines of the undersize 6. (Fig. 20 (3), (4))
SS4 determines the temporary position of the figure allocation area 10 through the process of SS1 to SS3. SS5 inputs a figure to be inserted into this figure allocation area 10 and performs dimension adjustment (deformation). At that time, the vertical dimension (HH) horizontal dimension (GG) of the inset and the vertical dimension (HF) horizontal dimension (GF) of the figure allocation area 10 are detected, and the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the inset are determined from the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the figure allocation area 10. If one of the dimensions is larger, perform the next transformation.
[0033]
If the vertical ratio is YF and the horizontal ratio is XF, YF = HF / HH or XF = GF / GG, and YF and XF are rounded down to the first decimal place and the second decimal place. I do. Then, the vertical or horizontal inset is deformed. If vertical: horizontal = 1: 1, when setting the diagram allocation area with the mouse, the mouse movement is restricted by 1: 1 and dragging to set the diagram area.
The vertical / horizontal ratio of the figure allocation area determined in this way and the vertical / horizontal dimensions of the inset are detected. If the ratio is large, the horizontal / vertical deformation is performed at the same ratio according to the larger ratio.
[0034]
SS6 is the position determination of the figure allocation area to which the inset is input. If SS5 is acceptable, it is determined. If the position is moved a little, it is possible to move by dragging the entire diagram allocation area. However, if the size is out of the area from the block size 6, the figure allocation area cannot be dragged in the direction protruding from SS2 or SS3. If this is acceptable, the figure area in which the inset is input is determined. (SS7)
[0035]
Next, through SS7, in the case of FIG. 17 as an example, the figure allocation area is located on the left side of the block size 6, and the vertical line on the right end of the map allocation area is the limit position. The same handling process as that of the line is performed, and S3 to S9 are performed. Here, four character strings, eleventh character string, twelfth character string, thirteenth character string, and fourteenth character string are sequentially arranged as character strings as shown in FIG.
Further, when the interval between the lowermost line of the drawing allocation area 10 and the lower line of the block size 6 is X, the vertical width V of X and the lowermost character string (14th character string) is X> V. If so, the 14th character string is inserted into X of the figure allocation area 10, and unlike the other character strings, the left end vertical line of the composition size 6 becomes the limit position. In this way, for the 14th character string, the composition adjustment process of S8 is performed as in the first embodiment.
Further, even if X> V, if it is not necessary to insert a character string below the figure allocation area 10, when the 14th character string is set in S3 to S6, the right end vertical line of the figure allocation area 10 is limited. Set it to the position.
[0036]
In FIGS. 17 and 18 of the second embodiment, the figure allocation area is on the left side, but it may be on the right side. When a figure allocation area is provided in the vicinity of the center, the left end vertical line of the figure allocation area becomes the limit position and is handled in the same manner as the right end vertical line of the size 6 of the block. In addition, the right end vertical line of the figure allocation area is the limit position, and the same handling as the left end vertical line of the size 6 is made. Thereafter, similar processing is performed from S3 to S9.
In this way, even those who have little experience can create a composition similar to an expert. These artworks can be used for seals (such as seals and seals), labels (address labels, designated labels, etc.), and business cards.
[0037]
【effect】
By using the processing method as described above, even a person who has no experience can easily create a composition similar to that of an experienced person, and can be used to create a seal, a label, and a business card.
Specifically, for the composition adjustment, the operator can check the screen to the end, and without requiring the skill of the operator, anyone can create the same quality without any hassle, and the pattern is also free It can be created.
As a result, it was possible to provide a composition adjustment system that allows anyone to easily and uniformly create a composition.
