Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the speed of composing processing by deleting undesired parts of images in a display device while locking at a layout on a picture and changing the layout into desired size. CONSTITUTION:A composing display control part 3 switches high-density data on an inputted image to rough data to store the data in a rough data storing part 31 and changes the size of the rough data based on a changing command given from a command input device 5 together with storage of said command. An image processing part 2 reads out the changing command all at once by a job end command supplied from the device 5 and changes the size of the high-density data by the changing command. Then an operator changes the image information into the desired size while confirming the layout stage of the image information and sentence information on the picture. Thus it is possible to delete the undesired parts of the image information and to put the articles into these deleted areas.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a typesetting display device used in a newspaper production system.

(Prior art) In the typesetting work in newspaper production, the position where the manuscript or image should be placed is specified and inputted so that it fits in a pre-allocated area, and then these are displayed on a screen.
The mutual positional relationship between the original and the image is corrected. For example, if text information and image information made up from the above document are incorporated into a pre-allocated area on the display, and the text information extends beyond this area, delete part of the text information. It is necessary to either make corrections or delete unnecessary parts of the image information.

If it is difficult to delete the text information, ten thousand of the image information must be removed. However, conventional devices do not have a special function to delete part of the image information, so conventionally, the image with unnecessary parts removed is re-inputted and the positional relationship with the text information is checked on the screen again. This had to be confirmed, and the work was extremely troublesome.

Section (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.
Even if you try to incorporate text and image information of an article into a predetermined area and the text information overflows from this area, you can delete unnecessary parts of the image information and store the article in this area. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a typesetting display device that can be used.

In the present invention, high-density data of an input image is replaced with coarse data and stored, and the size of this coarse data is changed based on a change command input from a command input device.
and a control unit that stores the commands, and a processing unit that reads out the change commands all at once in response to a work completion command input from the input device, and changes the size of the high-density data in accordance with the change commands. Be prepared and configured.

(Function) The typesetting display device of the present invention achieves the above object by changing the image information to a desired size while checking on the screen how the image information and text information are assembled.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a typesetting display device according to the present invention, which includes an image input section (1), an image processing section (z1), a typesetting display control section (3), a display section (4), and a command input section. A device (5) is provided.

The image input unit (1) is an image reader that reads images such as photographs and illustrations and converts them into electrical signals. The display unit (4) displays page information such as text information and image information composed of input articles, and displays a command input device (5) composed of, for example, a CRT display.
) is used to input various data and commands related to typesetting control, and consists of, for example, a keyboard.

The image processing unit (2) includes a high-density data storage unit (21) that stores image information (hereinafter referred to as high-density data) output from the image input unit (1), and a high-density data It is comprised of a high-density image editing section (23) that deletes specified portions of the high-density data read from the storage section (21) according to input commands from an operator and changes the data to a desired size.

The typesetting display control unit (3) includes a rough data storage unit (31) that stores the above-mentioned rough data, and a display unit (32) that is activated by a display command and displays the rough data as image information on the display unit (4). and other.
A rough data editing section (33) is provided. This is started by a change command from the command input device (5) that instructs to change the size of the coarse data, and is started by the coarse data editing section (3).
1) Read out the rough data. Then, based on the changed part data input from the command input device (5), that is, the data representing the part to be changed in the image, the above coarse data and part of the evening are deleted to create new coarse data, and the original This is to update the rough data to new rough data. Further, (34) is a change history storage unit, into which changed partial data is input and the change history is stored every time a change command is input from the command input device (5).

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Command input device (5
After inputting an image input command from , when a photograph is input through the image input section (1), raw data, that is, high-density data, is stored in the high-density data storage section (21).

The high-density data consists of shading information for each pixel and positional information indicating the position on the newspaper surface of each pixel as image information of the photograph.

With this device, it is only necessary to display the relative positional relationship between the photograph and the text document on the screen, so the high-density data is transferred to the thinning device (
22) into rough data and sends it to the typesetting display control section (3).

Here, the rough data is temporarily stored in the rough data storage section (31)K. The above is the preprocessing for inputting a photo, displaying it on the screen, and checking the relative size of the photo information. The subsequent processing steps will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG.

When a screen display command is input from the command input device (5) to display the layout of the photo and text manuscript that has already been input on the screen, the display section (32) is activated and the rough data is displayed from the rough data storage section (31). Read the data and display the above layout on the display section (4) (step 10)
1-103). The operator looks at the screen and confirms whether the text document and the photo fit in the pre-allocated area on the paper. If the character document exceeds the above area, it is necessary to change the size of the photo, and a change command is input (steps 104 to 105). Thereafter, while looking at the screen, the user inputs the data of the part to be deleted in the photo, that is, the data of the changed part (step 106).

The changed partial data is stored in the change history storage section (34), and at the same time, the coarse data editing section (33) is activated (steps 107-108). The rough data editing section (33) reads out the rough data from the rough data storage section (31), deletes a predetermined portion based on the changed partial data, creates new rough data, and stores the rough data in the rough data storage section (31). The data is updated to new rough data (steps 109-110).

Thereafter, the display section (32) is activated again, and new rough data is continuously outputted from the rough data storage section (31) and displayed on the display section (4).

Looking at this, the operator checks the relative size of the photograph on the paper and, if necessary, performs the processing from step 105 onwards. Note that the changed partial data here is also stored in the change history storage section (34). In step 104, when the operator determines that changing the image size requires heat and inputs the corresponding command, the high-density image editing section (
23) is activated (step 201). The high-density image editing unit (23) checks whether or not the history of the changed partial data, that is, the change history, is stored in the change history storage unit (34), and if the change history is stored, the high-density image editing unit (34)
21), the high-density data is edited based on the change history, and is changed to the desired size to create new high-density data (Slap 202).
~203). Then, the high-density data in the high-density data storage section (21) is updated to new high-density data (step 2
04).

As described above, the operator can use this device to delete unnecessary parts of the photos while viewing the layout of text and photos to achieve the desired layout, eliminating the need to change the size of the photos and re-input them. This can speed up the typesetting process. In addition, the changed partial data input by the operator is memorized and stored as change history data each time, and the high-density data is edited at the end, so the high-density data is edited every time the changed partial data is input. Processing is more efficient than when

In the above embodiment, a photograph is input as the image, but the input is not limited to this, and for example, an illustration may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, it is possible to change the size of the image by deleting it in advance within the display device, so the work of changing the size of the image and re-inputting it is saved in the formatting process. The speed can be increased.
