Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute detailed arrangement control between Japanese sentences and English sentences in the mixed print of Japanese and alphabetical characters e.g. by properly using a reference line in accordance with attributes attached to each character such as the shape, style of type and size of each character. CONSTITUTION:At the time of inputting a character or its attached attribute as necessary, its corresponding reference line is determined by referring a reference line corresponding table 206 and the relative position of the character from the reference line can be found out by referring an arrangement control data table 207. In addition, the position of a required character can be found out by referring a reference line position table 204. Since the arrangement of each character can be controlled also in the direction vertical to the reference line, the detailed character arrangement control of various kinds of characters or a document mixing Japanese and English sentences can be attained.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention (1) relates to document editing equipment such as word processors, Naruko editing printing systems, typesetting devices, etc., especially for creating documents with well-arranged characters. This relates to a character arrangement control method for .

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when creating a document with good appearance, the method of arranging each character is important. The method for arranging characters is as follows:
One example is a method in which the relative positions between characters are determined in advance.

As for how to decide (Yu, for example, JP-A-55-114
As described in Publication No. 569, the distance between two individual characters is stored as a ratio of the character sizes. By updating,
This is a method that automatically calculates the spacing between each character.

Further, as related to this type of invention, as described in Section 8 of "Introduction to Fujitsu Integrated Printing System FUJITU IPS", there is a method of aligning Japanese and European texts with the same baseline.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Among the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the example described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 114569/1980 stores the space between each character as the north of the character size for each combination of characters. It is something. However, it only has information about the direction of the reference line, which is the reference when arranging character strings.
It does not have a means for moving in an independent direction, for example in the vertical direction. For this reason, detailed character arrangement was difficult.

The purpose of the present invention is to convert each character into a character shape, 4F type.

To provide a fine-grained character arrangement control method that allows characters to be freely arranged in any direction according to attributes attached to the characters such as character size, and to create a well-presented document.

Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a character arrangement control method that is capable of aligning Japanese and European texts on the same baseline as shown in the above-mentioned "Introduction to Fujitsu Integrated Printing System FUJITU II'S". It's in the middle of nowhere.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the character arrangement control method according to the present invention defines a plurality of standards s8 that serve as standards when arranging characters, and for each character, one of the plurality of reference lines is set.
The books are made to correspond to each other, and the characters are arranged with respect to the corresponding reference lines.

Preferably, the position of each of the plurality of reference lines is given as a relative position from a predetermined position. In this case, determine the position of one of the reference lines for the above count, and
The position of the reference line other than the book reference line may be given as a relative position from the one reference line mentioned above. Based on the characteristics attached to each character such as the shape, shape, size, etc. of the character. Then, the character jar above has multiple reference lines 0>=Chino1
Books may be made to correspond.

When placing each character with respect to the corresponding reference line above,
For example, a predetermined reference point for each character,
Rub it so that it is aligned with the reference line corresponding to the character in question.

Furthermore, when placing a valley character with respect to the corresponding reference line above, determine one rotation angle for each character, and rotate it by the above rotation angle with respect to the reference line that corresponds to the character. , the corresponding characters may be arranged as Iff. In this case,
The rotation angle of each character may be determined based on the attribute ζ associated with the character E.

For each character, calculate the coordinate value of the reference point predetermined for the character in the direction of the reference line.
The reference line direction of the reference point is obtained by determining the coordinate value of the first order direction in relation to the corresponding reference edge.
The position I't of the reference point of the character can be determined.

Preferably, the position of a reference line that is used as a reference when arranging characters is memorized (a reference line position table, a reference line correspondence table that associates a reference line with each character, and a reference line that is associated with each character) are stored. The above method is achieved by having an arrangement control data table that stores arrangement control data for arranging characters with respect to ζ.

In addition, in Kikiri M5 Ichigo, "characters" include symbols such as parentheses and figures in addition to the general E character.

[Effect]

Hereinafter, typical effects of the character arrangement control method according to the present invention will be explained.

The reference line correspondence table is referred to for inputting characters (and accompanying attributes if necessary). This determines the corresponding reference line, and by referring to the arrangement control data table, the relative position of the character from the reference line can be determined. Furthermore, the position of a desired character can be found with respect to the corresponding reference line by referring to the reference line position table.

According to this method of the present invention, it is possible to control the placement of each character even in the direction perpendicular to the reference line, so for various characters,
Alternatively, fine-grained character arrangement control is possible for these mixed letters. [Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing character arrangement control in one embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 201 is the CPU, 202 is the bass fin 1.203
204 is an input device, 204 is a reference line position table, 205 is an output device m1, 206 is a reference line corresponding QP, 207 is a placement control data table, and 6°CP tJ 201 is a connection between each block via a pass line 2028. Perform data transfer. Characters are input from the input device 205, and if there is a required crab, attributes are also input. The output device 1205 is a display device, a printer, etc., and outputs characters,
Characters are output based on accompanying attributes and data such as character positions calculated by the method described below. Further, the CPU 201 manages the position of the reference line using the reference line position table 204, and associates characters and accompanying attributes with the reference line using the reference line correspondence tape A-206. Furthermore, the position control data table 207 manages the relative position of characters from the reference line.

Here, the reference line correspondence table 206 does not necessarily have to correspond all characters and accompanying attributes with the reference line (it is also possible to correspond only the characters or only some of the attributes. are collectively called character data.

The reference edge position table 204 has a structure as shown in FIG. 5, for example, and is given as a correspondence between the name of a reference line and a relative position from a pre-given reference position. here,
If one of the reference lines is used as the reference position, the process will be simpler. For example, in the example shown in Figure 6, "Japanese language Chuofu" has such a reference position r! It becomes tIC.

The reference line position table 206 has a structure as shown in FIG. 4, for example, and is given as a correspondence between character data and names of reference lines. In FIG. 4, character types are used as the character data, but it goes without saying that the character types need not be used alone.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the processing flow of the document editing device of FIG. 2.

First, input the character data for which you want to find the character position 11
Input from t2os or a program.

The CPU 2ot refers to the reference line correspondence table 206 via the path line 202 and finds a corresponding reference line from the input character data (step 1).

The CPU 201 refers to the reference line position table 204 via the path line 2028 and determines the position of this reference line from the obtained reference line (step 2).
2o1 refers to the arrangement control data table 2078 via the path line 202, and from the character data, the relevant standard @
The relative position #L of the character from is determined (step S), and the position 1t of the character is determined from the relative position of this character and the position of the reference line determined earlier (step 4).

Note that the order of execution of step 2 and step 5 may be reversed.

Furthermore, if the reference line correspondence table 204 and base II & line position table 206 are separate tables as shown in FIGS. S and 4, the correspondence of the reference line names in FIGS. It can be changed to , and is effective when all reference lines are aligned the same. Furthermore, it is also easy to replace the corresponding reference lines. However, as shown in FIG. 10, the correspondence between the character data and the relative position of the reference line from the reference position may also be used.

The arrangement control data table 207 has a structure as shown in FIG. 5, for example, and is given as a correspondence between character data and a corresponding relative position from a reference line. In FIG. 5, characters themselves are used as character data, but attributes may be added in addition to the characters themselves. Further, if the relative position from the reference line does not depend on the difference in character data, the arrangement control data table 207 does not necessarily need to be provided, and may be given as a certain constant value.

FIG. 6 shows the situation when this embodiment 8 is implemented when the "Japanese language center line" 601 and the "Roman language baseline" 602 are adopted as reference lines.

The reference positions attached to the reference line position table 204 are set as "Central line for Japanese text" 601 and "Baseline for Romanian text" 602.
The position of is determined from the reference line position table 204 in FIG.
The relative position from the "Japanese text center line" 601 can be determined as DyoJ. Also, "A" is [Japanese J, rAJ
is a "Roman language", so interlude correspondence table 2 in Figure 4
06 to “a” [Japanese Chuo Line J 601, f
- It can be seen that the "baseline for Roman languages" 602 can be used as the standard line for AJ. Zarabanko, if the reference point of the character is set as the center point of the character, all the reference points of the character "Japanese" will be on the "Central line for Japanese" 601. The arrangement control data table 207 for characters, ie, "Japanese text" is not necessary. For rAJ, which is a "Roman language", the relative position ryJ with respect to the "Roman language baseline" 602, which is the reference line of rAJ, can be obtained from the arrangement control data table 207 in FIG.

Figure 9 shows how this example is implemented in the case of arranging the note symbol on the staff.〇The reference line is set between the staff and each line, and the notes and their attributes are The case of inputting a musical scale will be explained.

In this case, the reference line position table 204 and the reference line correspondence table 206 are, for example, the Wc7 diagram and the 8th pull 2
It does not have to be used in 07.

When musical notes and scales are input from the input device 205, C
The P U 201 refers to the reference line correspondence table 2068 via the pass line 202 and finds a corresponding reference line from the musical scale. Next, the reference line position table 204 is referred to via the pass line 202, and the obtained 2I! c Find the relative position of the reference line from the reference position from the directrix.

In this example, a case where the reference position 118 is set as "first line" is shown. When the reference point of the note is set at the center of the note,
Since the reference point of the note is on the reference line, the position of the note can be determined from this.

For example, when inputting a note on the "G" scale, the reference line correspondence table 206 selects "Second line J?0" as the reference line.
It turns out that it is sufficient to use 1i. Next, “2nd ilJ9
To find the relative position from the reference position of 01, by referring to the reference line position table 204, it can be seen that the position is r2)'oJ. The “n” sound is “2419th”
Since it is above 01, the note position of "n" is i? t can be found.

In FIG. 2 of the C1, by providing rotation control data, not only the position but also the rotation can be controlled. The rotation control data table has a structure as shown in FIG. 11, for example, and is given as a correspondence between character data and rotation angles.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the jar of the present invention, different reference lines are used for each character depending on attributes associated with the character, such as the shape of the character and the size of the character. Fine-grained placement control between Japanese and European texts can be performed.
