Abstract

PURPOSE:To display one line of document data simultaneously in spite of the size of a window by dividing the window into prescribed numbers to display the document data of one line simultaneously considering the size of one line of the document data and that of the window, and displaying the document data of one line by dividing on divided windows. CONSTITUTION:A window division means 4 checks the size of one line of the document data, and divides the window 7 into the prescribed numbers so as to display the document data of one line simultaneously. Next, a data display means 5 divides the document data in unit of size of the window, and displays the document data on the windows 7a, 7b of the window 7 divided with the window division means 4, respectively. Thereby, it is possible to display the document data of one line in the window simultaneously by dividing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a multi-window method for displaying document data in a window on a display of a computer system.

[Conventional technology]

In the display of a computer system, a window is used as an area for displaying document data and the like.

By the way, when reading document data from a medium such as a floppy disk and displaying it line by line on the display, it is desirable to display the entire line, but if the size of one line of document data is larger than the window size. cannot be displayed all at once, so the window size is displayed from the beginning, and other parts are displayed by moving the cursor or the like.

Figure 3 shows this situation, and document data D
rABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQR3TUVW
If range 8a of "XYZa bcd" is specified with a cursor, r I JKLMNO in window 7
When PQJ is displayed and the cursor moves to the right and attempts to reach a part that is not displayed in window 7, the document data in window 7 is sequentially shifted to the left, and when the cursor reaches range 8b, is rNOPQR3 on Wind7
TU■” is displayed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, in the conventional data display method, if the size of one line of document data is larger than the window size, one line of document data cannot be displayed at the same time, which causes inconvenience in reading Daikichi. feel.

■It is difficult to use because it is necessary to move the cursor, etc.

■Since the document data is repeatedly shifted and redisplayed each time the cursor or the like is moved, processing takes time and speedy work cannot be performed.

There were other drawbacks.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a multi-window method that can simultaneously display one line of document data regardless of the window size. .

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for displaying document data in a window on a display of a computer system, in which the size of one line of document data to be displayed and the size of the window are improved. A window dividing means divides a window into a predetermined number of parts so that one line of document data can be displayed at a time, and a data display means divides and displays one line of document data in the divided windows. I am trying to prepare for this.

[Effect]

In the multi-window method of the present invention, the window dividing means considers the size of one line of document data to be displayed and the size of the window, and divides a predetermined number of windows so that one line of document data can be displayed at once. The data display means divides and displays one line of document data in the divided window.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the multi-wind system of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a medium such as a floppy disk that stores document files including large-sized data, 2 is a document file reading means for reading document files from the medium 1 and storing them in a memory 3, and 4 is 1 of document data to be displayed. Window dividing means for dividing the window 7 into a predetermined number of parts so that one line of document data can be displayed at a time considering the size of the line and the size of the window 7 of the display 6; This is a data display means that divides and displays document data for lines.

The operation of displaying one line of document data from a document file stored in the memory 3 will be described below.

For example, document data DrABCDE as shown in FIG.
FGHI JKLMNOPQR3TUVWXYZabc
d", the window dividing means 4 checks the size of one line of the document data D and recognizes that it is 30 in this case. Further, the window dividing means 4 obtains the size of the window 7, which is assumed to be 16 in this case.

Then, the window dividing means 4 extracts one line of document data D.
The window 7 is divided into a predetermined number of parts so that the images can be displayed at once. In this case, by dividing the window 7 into two, up to 32 characters (16 x 2) can be displayed at a time, which allows document data D of size 30 to be displayed simultaneously.
The number of divisions is 2.

Next, the data display means 5 divides the document data D into units of window size, and displays each document data in the windows 7a and 7b of the window 7 divided by the window division means 4. That is, rABCDE
Display FGHI JKLMNOPJ on window 7a,
rQRsTUVWXYZabcd" is displayed on the window 7b.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the multi-window method of the present invention, one line of document data is divided within the window and can be displayed at once, so 01 lines of document data can be viewed at a glance. is easy to read.

It is easy to use because there is no need to operate a cursor or the like to view the document data in line 01.

■Work can be done quickly and smoothly because there is no need to shift or redisplay document data as the cursor moves.

There are other effects.
