The printing is interrupted and printing of the frame memory 2g is started.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a frame printing processing procedure in the document processing apparatus according to the present invention. Note that (1) to (Step 4) indicate each step. Additionally, this flow is activated by a command code in the text.

Initialize variables CX and CY of the current position of the printing unit (carrier not shown) provided in the printer 3 (1)
Note that the variable cx. cy is provided in the work area 2f in the RAM 2c, the variable CX indicates the current position of the carrier in the X-axis direction, and the variable CY indicates the current position of the carrier in the y-axis direction.

Next, various variables CP and C for printing the frame are set.
Initialize S, CC, and FA.

The variables CP, CS, CC, and FA are provided in the work memory 2f in the RAM 2C. The variable CP stores the character pitch at the time of printing of the text whose printing is currently being interrupted, and the variable CS stores the character pitch when printing the text whose printing is currently being interrupted. The amount of space between lines when printing the currently interrupted text is stored, the variable CC stores the number of line segment blocks in the frame memory 2g, and the variable FA stores the number of line segment blocks in the memory of the data block to be printed next.

Store 4d (3).

Next, the printing start position of the line segment to be printed is changed based on the printing information of the text whose printing is currently being interrupted. That is, the character pitch at the time of registering the frame is checked from the character pitch area 12 of the frame memory 2g currently being printed, and the change ratio with the variable CP set in step (2) is determined.
By multiplying the ratio by the line segment start position in the X-axis direction obtained in step (3) (the content of the variable FX), new line segment start position information in the X-axis direction is obtained in the variable FX. Also, check the amount of line spacing at the time the frame was registered from the space amount area 13 of the frame memory 2g currently being printed, find the change ratio with the variable CS set in step (2), and calculate the ratio in step (3). Variable F indicating the starting position of the line segment in the y-axis direction obtained by
By multiplying by Y, new line segment start position information in the y-axis direction is obtained as variable FY (4).

Next, referring to the variables FX and FY obtained in step (3), move the carrier to the printing start position of the line segment, calculate the amount of movement of the carrier in the X-axis direction (subtract the variable Cx from the variable FX), Furthermore, find the amount of movement of the carrier in the y direction (
(subtract variable CY from variable FY). Based on the calculated value, CPυ2b causes the printer 3 to move the carrier, and variables CX, CY indicating the current position of the carrier

Next, a line segment is printed from the current position of the carrier by the length indicated by the variable PL obtained in step (7) (8).

Next, the amount of movement of the carrier moved by printing is added to the variable CY indicating the position in the y-axis direction (9) The counter CC of the data block 14 is decremented by "1", and the variable FA, which is the address variable of the data block 14, is updated ( 10),
Next, the address of the data block 14 of the line segment to be printed is specified. Next, it is determined whether there is a data block 14 to be printed, that is, the content of the counter CC is "OJ
(11), and if NO, step (3)
) and repeat the following process.

On the other hand, if the judgment in step (6) is No (the line segment to be printed is judged to be a horizontal line), the length of the horizontal line to be printed is changed according to the printing information of the text whose printing is currently being interrupted. do. That is, the character pitch when the frame currently being printed is registered is referred to from the value of the character pitch area 12 which is the recording area of the frame, the change ratio with the variable CP set in step (2) is calculated, and the ratio is calculated. By multiplying the line segment length variable FL obtained in step (3), the length of the line segment to be printed is calculated, and the value is set as the variable FL.
(l2).

Next, a line segment is printed by the length of the value obtained in step (l2) (value of variable FL) from the current position of the carrier (l3). Next, the amount of movement of the carrier moved by the printing in step (l3) is added to the variable CX of the position in the X-axis direction (14), and the process returns to step (lO). As a result, when printing of all line segment data blocks is completed, the process is completed through step (1l).

In the above embodiment, the case has been mainly described in which the ruled line format information is changed in conjunction with the framing process during the printing process, but if similar ruled line format information changing process is executed during the display process on the display 4, In other words, if this is executed when checking or editing the shape of the frame on the screen, it is possible to display a display that matches the frame character.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where the ruled line format information is changed during the printing process or the display process due to the framing process is explained, but the frame format information is stored in the frame memory 2g shown in FIG. By securing a flag area that instructs whether or not to perform automatic adjustment by comparing it with the text format, changes to border format information associated with framing processing can be selectively executed based on the setting state of the instruction flag. It may be configured as follows. Specifically, when the operator sets a flag from the keyboard 1, the frame memory 2g related to the text memory 2h and the frame memory 2g not related to the text memory 2h (J
It is possible to print a mixture of frames such as e1 as a diagram, and it is possible to print while identifying interlocking frames and non-interlocking frames.

Furthermore, the print start position information in the X-axis direction, which is the line segment start point information 14b that is a component of the frame memory 2g shown in FIG. The printing start position may be changed in conjunction with each other.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention provides a document format for the character information stored in the document memory and registered ruled lines for the ruled line information stored in the document memory when outputting the character information stored in the document memory.

Furthermore, the adjusting means compares the document format of the character information stored in the document memory with the registered ruled line format for the ruled line information stored in the document memory when printing out the character information stored in the document memory. Since the configuration is configured to adjust the registered ruled line format for information, even if the print format and frame format in document storage are different when printing out the document,
The format of the frame is adjusted to match the print format of the document storage, so there is no need for troublesome formatting processing.
It is possible to print out a frame that matches the print format of document storage.

Furthermore, there is an instruction means for instructing whether or not to execute an adjustment process by the adjustment means during output processing of character information stored in the document memory, and a registered ruled line for the ruled line information based on a state of the instruction means instructing the adjustment means to perform or not perform an adjustment process. Since the control means for controlling the execution of format adjustment is provided, the desired document information can be obtained even when there is a mixture of frames that do not match the format of the document information and frames that match the format of the document information. It can be output in the following format.

Also,! The IJall means is configured to control the execution of the registered ruled line format adjustment for the ruled line information based on the instruction state of the instruction means for indicating whether or not to perform the adjustment process to the adjustment means during the display output processing of the character information stored in the document memory. Even if there is a mixture of frames that do not match the format of the document information and frames that match the format of the document information, the document information can be displayed and output in a desired format.

Furthermore, the control means is configured to control the execution of registered ruled line format adjustment for the ruled line information based on the instruction state of the instruction means for instructing the adjustment means whether or not to perform adjustment processing when processing the printout of the character information stored in the document memory. So,
Even if there is a mixture of frames that do not match the format of the document information and frames that match the format of the document information, the document information can be printed out in a desired format.

Therefore, compared to the conventional frame printing process, the print setting operations are reduced, and printing errors caused by the frame format settings can be reduced, which is an excellent effect.
