Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate necessity for switching a picture for correction by correcting a graph element while designating the graph element on a displayed graph, and correcting numerical information corresponding to the graph element based on the corrected graph element. CONSTITUTION:When generating the correction request of the graph element during the display of the graph, a graph correcting means 103 calculates a value to correct a numerical value corresponding to the graph according to a stretching instruction and updates the contents of a character storing means 102 corresponding to the graph element corresponding to a cursor position in the picture of the graph display. Further, the graph display according to the latest data is instructed to a graph preparing means 104. Thus, it is not necessary to switch the picture for correction and the processing is executed in the state of easily observing the graph.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a character processing device that automatically creates a graph based on input characters and numbers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of character processing device, a desired graph can be created by inputting characters and numbers according to a predetermined format when creating a graph. In addition, in a multi-window system where the display screen can be divided and used, by providing separate text display windows and graph display windows, the graph corresponding to the content modified in the text display window can be immediately displayed as a graph. It can be displayed in a display window.

[Problem to be solved by Invention-1 Toge] However, in the conventional example, when modifying a graph, the screen is switched to character display, and then the characters or numbers are modified.
This was inconvenient as it was necessary to display the graph again for confirmation.

On the other hand, in a multi-window system, since the screen is divided and displayed, it is possible to display characters and graphs at the same time, but because the screen is divided and displayed, the display becomes small.

In order to solve the above problems, a character processing device of the present invention includes an input means for inputting information, a storage means for storing information input from the input means, and a display means for displaying the information. a graph creation means for creating a graph based on the numerical information inputted by the input means; and a graph created by the graph creation means and displayed by the display means, on which a graph element is designated and the corresponding The apparatus includes a modifying means for modifying a graph element, and a control means for modifying numerical information corresponding to the graph element based on the graph element modified by the modifying means.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, a graph element is specified on the graph created by the graph creation means based on the numerical information inputted by the input means and displayed by the display means, and the specified graph element is corrected by the correction means. The numerical information stored in the storage means is then corrected by the control means based on the corrected graph element.

In this embodiment, the initial settings after the power is turned on, the input of characters, the method of displaying graphs, etc. are implemented using known techniques, so detailed explanations will be omitted. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the input characters and numbers are stored in the character memory TBUF as shown in Fig. 4, and the numbers corresponding to each month are stored in order and correspond to the displayed graph elements. can be easily obtained.

In FIG. 8, in step S1, initial settings are performed and each component connected to the bus BUS becomes usable.

In this embodiment, the display mode flag MODE is initially set to 0 in order to set the display mode to document. In step S2, a key is operated manually, and in the next step S3, a process corresponding to the key is selected. When the document display key TXK is pressed, MODE=O is set in step S4, and document display is set. Furthermore, in step S5, the character memory TB
Display the contents of UF.

Then, a graph is displayed based on the characters and numbers stored in the character memory TBUF.

Next, if the input key is other than the document display key TXK and the graph display key GRK, the process advances to step S8.

Here, document editing in step S9 or graph modification in step SIO is selected depending on the value of the display mode flag MODE.

When the display mode flag MODE is O, document editing processing in step S9 is performed, and characters and numbers as shown in FIG. 4 can be input. Since the details of document editing are realized by a known technique, detailed explanation will be omitted here.

When the display mode flag MODE is 1, step S

When the cursor key CRK is input, the cursor is moved to select a graph element on the screen displaying the graph as shown in FIG. 5 (step 310.2). Fifth
In the figure, it is displayed on top of the February data.

Next, when the expansion/contraction instruction key G M K is input, steps 810.3 and subsequent steps are selected, and in step 810.3, the number of the graph element corresponding to the current cursor position is displayed at the bottom of the graph display screen. Ru. Next step 5I
At O14, key input is performed. Cursor key CRK
, release key CNK, or execution key EXK is input, the cursor key CR is input in step 810.5.
, K, in step S10.6, the numbers of the graph elements corresponding to the upper and lower portions of the cursor are determined and displayed at the bottom row.

Through steps S10.4 to S10.6 described above, the correction value corresponding to the graph element can be obtained by moving the cursor up and down. In the display state of FIG. 5 of this embodiment, the value for February is from 2000 to 400, which is the value corresponding to the cursor position.
It will be corrected to 0. In the figure, the dashed line portion is shown for explanation.

Next, when either the release key CNK or the execution key EXK is input, the release key CNK is pressed in step 310.7.
If is input, graph correction will be canceled. If the execution key EXK is input, step S10. ．． 8 is selected, and here the number 4000 obtained by moving the cursor in steps S10.4 to S10.6 is stored in the character memory T.
It is stored in the area of BUF corresponding to February. Then, in step 810.9, the modified latest character storage TBU
Redisplay the graph based on the contents of F.

The displayed result is as shown in FIG. By following the steps described above, it is possible to change the numbers of graph elements while displaying the graph. If it is desired to confirm the contents of the character storage TBUF after the change, the modification result can be displayed as shown in FIG. 7 by pressing the document display key TXK.

[Other Examples]

In this embodiment, the graph element at the current cursor position can be corrected using the expansion/contraction instruction key GMK, but a new graph element can be registered at a position where no data exists. It is also possible to do so.

Further, in this embodiment, the bar graph was corrected only by moving up and down, but it is also possible to correct the horizontal bar graph by moving left and right.

In this embodiment, the case of a bar graph has been explained as an example, but it is also possible to modify the graph using the same idea for the ratio of a band graph or a pie graph.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to modify the values corresponding to the graph without switching screens while viewing the entire graph, and modify the graph pattern based on the modification results. This eliminates the need for screen switching and allows the process to be performed in an easily viewable state.

Also, when making corrections, a graph pattern is selected and the corresponding value is corrected by correcting this graph pattern, which reduces correction errors and makes it easier to see the correction points on the graph. .
