Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a display information generation method, and more particularly to a display information generation method used in a computer phototypesetting device or the like.

[Conventional technology]

This type of display information generation method is used in computer phototypesetting devices and the like. This display information generation method is realized by a device as shown in FIG.

That is, the device shown in FIG. 5 includes a first storage device 1,
It is composed of a second storage device 2 and an arithmetic device 3. This first storage device l receives a character code signal 1 from the outside.
00, the character pattern signal 2
It is configured to output 00. The character pattern signal 200 from the first storage device 1 is configured to be supplied to the arithmetic device 3. On the other hand, the second storage device 2
is given the magnification code 300, the magnification code 30
It is configured so that a line thickness signal 400 corresponding to a signal of 0 can be given to the arithmetic unit 3. Similarly, magnification code 30
0 is if it is given directly to the arithmetic unit 3.

The arithmetic unit 3 is configured to execute a process of changing the display magnification of the character pattern signal 200 based on the captured magnification code 300 in a display magnification change process 30, and output a second character pattern signal 500 as a result. has been done. The arithmetic device 3 further performs a line thickness adjustment process on the second character pattern signal 500 based on the line thickness signal 400 in a line thickness adjustment process 31 to generate a third character pattern signal 60.
It is configured to obtain 0.

According to such a device, a character code signal 10 is input from the outside.
When 0 is applied to the first storage device 1, a character pattern signal 200 is output from the first storage device 1 in response. Character pattern signal 20 from this first storage device 1
0 is supplied to the arithmetic unit 3. On the other hand, magnification code 30
If 0 is given to the second storage device 2, the magnification code 30
A line thickness signal 400 corresponding to the 0 signal is given to the arithmetic unit 3. Similarly, the magnification code 300 is given directly to the arithmetic unit 3. In the arithmetic device 3, the display magnification changing process 30 executes the process of changing the display magnification of the character pattern signal 200 based on the imported magnification code 300, and obtains the second character pattern signal 500 as a result. In the arithmetic device 3, the line thickness adjustment process 31 further performs a line thickness adjustment process on the second character pattern signal 500 based on the line thickness signal 400 to generate a third character pattern signal 600. obtain.

The display information generation method described above enlarges or reduces the character code given in this manner. As can be understood from the operation of the apparatus described above, the line thickness of the display information that is enlarged or reduced by the display information generation method is a constant value, regardless of the line thickness of each display barcoon.

By the way, when a character pattern is enlarged, unless it is thicker than the optically enlarged line thickness, the line thickness will appear thinner when fishing on a boat. Conversely, when a character pattern is reduced, unless it is made thinner than the optically reduced line thickness, the line thickness may become thicker and the character pattern may collapse.

Therefore, in the apparatus shown in FIG. 5, the line thickness adjustment process 31 is also executed to prevent this from happening. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the character pattern signal 20 "mountain" expressed on the coordinates of the
When 0 is enlarged, the display magnification change processing 30 of the arithmetic device 3
If you only magnify with
The displayed information will be "mountain" as shown in the figure. In this way, the displayed information as shown in FIG. 7 has a problem in that it is extremely difficult to see because the line thickness is thin. Therefore, in the arithmetic unit 3, the line thickness of the display information is adjusted using the line thickness adjustment process 31, so that the display information ("mountain") as shown in FIG. 8 is obtained. This makes the displayed information easier to see.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, according to the display information generation method realized by the apparatus shown in FIG. 5, the line thickness adjustment process 31 of the arithmetic unit 3 regarding the line thickness is always executed at a uniform value. .

Therefore, for example, if "7" shown in FIG. 9(A) and "upper" shown in FIG. 9(B) are simultaneously enlarged by the arithmetic unit 3 based on the magnification code 300, the result shown in FIG. 10(A) is Display information such as "7" as shown in FIG. 10(B) and "Up" as shown in FIG. 10(B) are obtained.

According to this conventional display information generation method, regardless of whether it is a kanji or a non-kanji character, it is enlarged or reduced by the -ritsu value. Compared to non-kanji characters, display information for non-kanji characters has a disadvantage in that the shape of the display information is distorted, leading to a decrease in the quality of the characters.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display information generation method that improves the quality of display information by giving an appropriate line thickness value to the shape of display information. This is the purpose.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the display information generation method of the present invention changes the display magnification for display information such as a given character pattern based on an enlargement or reduction command, and performs a display magnification changing process. In the display information generation method that adjusts the line thickness according to the enlargement/reduction command for the display information that has been displayed, the display information is given in advance an increase/decrease ratio of the line thickness when displaying this display information. Then, during line thickness adjustment processing, the line thickness is adjusted using the line thickness increase/decrease ratio.

According to the display information generating method of the present invention, the increase/decrease ratio of the line thickness when displaying the display information is given in advance to the display information, and the increase/decrease ratio of the line thickness is set during the line thickness adjustment process. Since the thickness of the line is adjusted by using the line width, the shape of the displayed information is not distorted, and the quality of the displayed information is improved.

It is configured so that 0 can be given to the arithmetic unit 13.

Similarly, the magnification code 300 may be applied directly to the arithmetic unit 13. The arithmetic unit 13 generates a character pattern signal 200 (C) based on the imported magnification code 300.
The display magnification changing process 30A executes the process of changing the display magnification of the second character pattern signal 500 (C

When a character code signal 100 of an image having coordinates (X3, y3) is given to the first storage device 11, a character pattern signal 200 (C) as shown in FIG. ) is output from the first storage device 11. The character pattern signal 200 (C) is the above A

On the other hand, when the magnification code 300 is given to the second storage device 12, a line thickness signal 400 corresponding to the signal of the magnification code 300 is given to the arithmetic unit 13.

Similarly, the magnification code 300 is provided directly to the arithmetic unit 13. In the arithmetic unit 13, the display magnification change processing 300 executes the process of changing the display magnification of the character pattern signal 200(c) based on the imported magnification code 300, and as a result, the display magnification shown in FIG.

The display magnification changing process 30A> is as shown in FIG. 2 (II) and FIG. 3 (1). In this case, the shape will be lost. Here, the number "7" means that the ratio of vertical lines to horizontal lines is 1:1.
If you increase the ratio of line thickness, the shape will not be distorted, and if you increase the ratio of vertical lines to horizontal lines by 2:1, the shape will not be distorted. Therefore, as described above, by changing the value of the line thickness signal C of the second character pattern signal 500(c) with letters or numbers, predetermined display information can be obtained from the line thickness signal 400.

The present embodiment operates in this way, and the thickness of the line can be adjusted to an appropriate value during processing such as enlargement and reduction.

By adjusting the thickness of , the shape of the displayed information is not distorted and the quality of the displayed information is improved.
