The operation of the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that an image read by the scanner 27 as, for example, a dither image is displayed on the screen of the CRT display device 26. This image includes, for example, a photo P and characters CA. This displayed image is hereinafter referred to as a mount.

The image information on this mount is managed by a management table MTI generated in the magnetic disk device 19, as shown in FIG. 8(a). This management table MTI includes "Part 1" indicating the number of the mount, and the attribute set for this mount "
Coordinates r (0,0
), (2340,1,728) J is stored (
Step 5TI).

When cutting out a part of the mount displayed on the CRT display device 26 to generate a component image as described above, the following operations are performed.

First, ``Menu 1'' is designated with cursor C, and while the first button of mouse 14 is pressed, cursor C is moved downward in the figure. Then, as shown in Figure 4, "Menu 1" is displayed.
” will be displayed. In this state, cursor C
After instructing to cut by , if you specify a point Sa located near the photo P and a point sb, these points Sa.

A rectangular frame E1 with sb as the diagonal point is displayed, and this frame E
1 is cut out as a part image (step 5T
2).

When the component image is cut out as described above, the management table M of the cut out component image is stored in the magnetic disk device 19.
T2 is newly generated as shown in FIG. 8(b) (step 5T3). That is, in this management table MT2,
"Part 2" indicating the number of this part image, the attribute "binary" set for this part image, the coordinates r (200,1000) (850,1) indicating the display position of this part image
, 550) J is set.

Furthermore, the management table MTI shown in FIG. 8(a) is corrected as shown in FIG. 8(c), and information about the portion cut out as a part is added. In other words, the attribute of the part where the part image is cut out is "binary", and its coordinates are r (200,
1000) ([150, +550) is assumed to be J (
Step 5T4).

To change the attributes of the cut out part image, the following operations are performed.

First, with the cursor C pointing to "Menu 2", move the cursor C downward in the figure while holding down the first button. Then, the contents of this "menu 2" are displayed as shown in FIG. Then, after specifying "component attributes" with cursor C, when the created component image is specified with cursor C, a property sheet for specifying component attributes as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. In this state, when you specify "Photo" with cursor C and press the first button, the attributes of management table MT2 shown in FIG. 8(b) change from "binary" to "dither" as shown in FIG. ” (step 5T5).

With the attributes of the component image set in this way, when this component image is to be combined at the cutout position of the mount, the contents of "Menu 1" are displayed as shown in FIG. 7. Then, after instructing "paste" with cursor C, the part image is indicated. Then, when the contents of the page memory 21 are expanded onto the display memory 22a, the management tables MT1 and MT2 are referred to. That is, since the portion of the mount is dithered, the image is developed as is in the display memory 22a. In addition, the part image is cut out in 2
Since it is a value image and dither is set in the management table MT2, the image processing circuit 34 uses a dither matrix to convert the binary image to a dither image and display it. It is developed in the memory 22a (step 5T6). Therefore, both the mount and the component image are displayed as a dithered image. At the same time, the mount management table MTI changes from the state shown in Figure 8(c) to the attribute of the part corresponding to the component image from "binary" to "dather" as shown in FIG. 8(e). The component image management table MT2 is deleted because component 2 is no longer present (step 5T7).

According to the above embodiment, when the attribute information of the component image and the mount image on which the component image is combined is managed together with the coordinate information of these images, and the image is displayed, the attribute information of the component image and the mount image is managed. I refer to it and process it. Therefore, even if a part image is cut out from the displayed image, the required attributes can be set and processed on this part image, so the dithered image can be
It is possible to prevent the part image from being displayed as a value image, and to display the part image without deteriorating the image quality.

Next, for an image consisting of two types of attributes, data and binary, set a cropping range that spans these two types of images,
A case of cutting out a component image will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 10, a mount is displayed on the screen of the CRT display device 26, and of this mount, E
Assume that the attribute of the portion indicated by l is set to dither, and the attributes of the portions other than E1 are set to binary. In this case, the mount management table MT3 is as shown in FIG. 11(a).

In this state, if you set the "cutout" mode for the part as described above and specify the cutout range E2 overlapping dither and binary, the management table MT4 of this part image E2 will be ) is generated as shown. Immediately, in this management table MT4, the number indicating the extracted part is set as "part 4", and the coordinates of the part with binary attributes are r (250, 300), (1200, 1550).
J, the coordinates of the part whose attribute is dither are r (250, 1,
000), (600, 1550) J. Furthermore, the attributes and coordinates of the cut out portion are added to the management table MT3, as shown in FIG. 3(c).

Even when one component image is composed of a dithered image or a binary image in this way, when this component image is displayed on the CRT display device 26 by managing the attributes that constitute the component image together with the coordinates, By referring to this management table MT3.4 and expanding it from the page memory 21 to the display memory 22a, the component image can be displayed without deteriorating the image quality.
