Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a superimposed document distinguishable, by bordering displayed portions of the document with non-displayed portions when superimposing the document on a page format. CONSTITUTION:Each of bit coordinates in a document development area 41 end each of bit coordinates corresponding to the above bit coordinate i. e page format development area 42 are processed by logical operation and the result (OR) is set to a bit coordinate in a superimposing area 43. All bits are processed in the way as mentioned above by OR operations for superimposition. However, the result will be indiatinguishable. In order to make distinguishable superimposition of the document, a white line 73 is drawn between the document 71 and the page format 72. To realize this, dots around a dot on the page format development area 42 corresponding to any of black dots (bit ON) on the document development area 41, namely dots 82 around a dot 81, are made to become white dots (bit OFF). An operation to execute the above is made to all black dots on the document development area. Then, by executing the OR operation for superimposing the document on a page format 82 that was completed by the foregoing operations, a superimposed document can be obtained.

Next, a method for developing a document file and a format file in an image memory will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8.

First, a document development area 41. is displayed on the image memory 12 shown in FIG. Each area of the page format development area 42 and the overlapping area 43 is secured. A document file 44 stored in the hard disk 6 is read into a document expansion area 41 and expanded. At this time, the printed part (black part) of the document is set to the corresponding bit on the area.
Set it to N, and set it to OFF for non-printing areas (white parts).

Similarly, the format file 45 stored in the hard disk 6 is read and the page format is developed in the page format development area 42.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, each bit coordinate (x+, y+) in the document development area 41 and the corresponding bit coordinate (x+, y+) in the page format development area 42 are
The am (x+, y+) bit is ORed with the bit of am (x+, y+) and set in the overlapping area 43. In this way, the ORI+ operation of all bits is performed to perform superposition, but if left as is, the result is a superimposed document 64 that is difficult to see as shown in FIG.

Therefore, by performing the following operations, an easy-to-read superimposed document as shown at 63 in FIG. 6 is created. FIG. 6 is an example of overlapping, in which a document 61 and a page format 62 similar to the conventional example shown in FIG. 13 are overlaid. That is, a white line 73 is drawn between the document 71 and the page format 72 so that the result of the matching is as shown in FIG.

For this purpose, the page format development area 4 corresponding to an arbitrary black point (bit ON) in the document development area 41 is
2 (coordinates (x+) shown in Figure 5).

y+), that is, the points 82 around the black point 81 shown in FIG. 8 are made white points (bit 0FF).

This operation is performed on all black points (bit ON) on the document expansion area.

x, y) to initial values (0, 0).

Next, the process moves to step S2, and it is determined whether or not processing has been completed for all X coordinates. If it is determined that the processing for the X coordinate has been completed, the processing ends.

If not, the process moves to step S3, and it is determined whether all the X coordinates have been processed. If it is determined that the processing has been performed, the X coordinate is returned to 0 in step S4, the X coordinate is increased by +1', and the process returns to step S2. If the processing of the X coordinate is not completed in step S3, the process moves to step S5, and the coordinates (x, y
) is a black point (bit ON).

If it is determined in step S5 that it is a black dot, the process moves to step S6 and processes the page format development area. The details of this process will be described later.

If it is not a black spot, the process advances to step S7. In step S7, the X coordinate is set to +l° and the process returns to step S3.

Next, the processing of the page format development area will be explained according to the control procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. 1O.
