Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] In a data processing system that includes a terminal device having at least a display and a tablet, a menu is placed on the tablet, and graphical processing is performed while pointing to an item on the menu. The display mode on the display is displayed or erased in a visible display mode that represents the percentage value of the shading, corresponding to the area where shading is performed on the form when printing out. It is disclosed that the screen is configured such that the display state on the display is such that the difficult-to-see display state that may occur due to the above-mentioned shading being instructed is eliminated.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention can prevent the display from becoming difficult to see when an instruction is given to perform shading when printing out a form in a graphic processing method, particularly in graphic processing when creating a form. This invention relates to a graphic processing method.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in FIG. 4, desired frames are drawn on a form, and the number of characters and numbers to be entered in each frame can be specified. In addition,
In the figure, 1 is the form, 2 is the number of characters that will be input in the future (represented by the number N), and 3 is the number of numbers that will be input in the future (represented by the number of Z, with the end being 9). 4 represents the frame.

A form as shown in FIG. 4 is created from the terminal device according to the required type as needed, and is registered in an image library in the data processing system. For example, a terminal device at a counter at a bank, etc., calls up the registered form of the desired type as needed, and inserts the actual characters " You will be asked to write in "Tokyo Branch" or "3500" and print out the form.

Conventionally, in the process of creating the form 1 as described above, a terminal device having at least a display and input means is used. For example, when drawing a horizontal line, "HLINE" is input, or when drawing a vertical line, inputting In the past, users had to create a form by creating a code such as entering "VLINE".

However, the method for creating the code described above is difficult for completely inexperienced operators to understand. To this end, as shown in FIG. 5, consideration has been given to using a terminal device that has at least a display and a tablet so that a desired form can be created by pointing a stylus pen on the tablet. There is.

In FIG. 5, 5 is a terminal device, 6 is a display, 7 is a tablet, 8 is a sheet-like menu which is placed on the tablet 7 so that it can be removed and attached, and 9 is a stylus pen. ing.

For example, when inputting the horizontal line of the above frame, the following operation is performed.

That is, first, a desired menu 8 is placed on the tablet 7, and predetermined points 10-1, 10-2, and 10-3 on the menu 8 are pointed with the stylus pen 9. As a result, the built-in processing device determines where the menu 8 is placed on the tablet 7, and from then on, the pen 9 is used to point to a predetermined position on the menu 8, for example, position 11. Then, the processing device determines which item on the menu 8 is instructed from the position on the tablet 7 (for example, position 11 in the diagram indicates "I want to input a horizontal line"), and takes appropriate action. Now you can create a processing mode.

Then, by pointing the pen 9 at a desired position 12 on the tablet 7, the display 6 will appear.
Point 13 is displayed above. Then, if you point to the desired position 14 on the tablet 7,
A horizontal line 16 is displayed on the display 6 from the point 13 toward a point 15 on the display 6 corresponding to the position 14.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Although it is being considered to create form 1 etc. using the input mode described in connection with FIG. 5 above, in completing such a data processing system, it is necessary to Above HLINE
It is possible to coexist with systems that create forms by inputting codes such as VLINE and VLINE, and to be able to complete the process with as little manpower as possible using the existing system. desired. When the new system is completed, it is desirable to add new functions as well as functions that can be used in the existing system.

As one of the functions of the new system, it was desired to provide a function capable of solving the following problems. That is, especially in business operations such as banks, a printed form may be created with shading within an arbitrary predetermined frame. At this time, if a large number of dots corresponding to the shading are displayed within a frame displayed on the display, there is a problem that even if characters and numbers are displayed within the frame, the characters and numbers become extremely difficult to see. occured.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has completed the above-mentioned new system and solved the problems in the case of shading, and FIG. It shows.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6 is a display corresponding to FIG. 5, 17 is a display display mechanism, and 18 is a display corresponding to FIG.
Reference numeral 19 represents a printed out form, 19 represents a form output mechanism, 20 represents a graphic displayed on the display at the time of creating shading, and 21 represents a frame on the printed out form. Further, 22 is a shading display creation section, 23 is a 70% shading display creation processing section, and 24 is a shading display creation processing section.
A 40% shading display creation processing section, 25 a 20% shading display creation processing section, and 26 a shading non-display/display processing section.

[Effect]

Desired frame (display figure) 2 on display 6
The information is held so that 0 can be entered and the frame can be printed out like the illustrated frame 21.
Then, it is assumed that it is desired to shade a desired percentage value, for example 70%, in a desired frame on the frame 21, and write characters such as ``mountain, river, sea'' in the frame. At this time, the operator who is creating the form should select the shaded
Point the pen 9 at the position corresponding to the 70% value input and point the position on the tablet 7. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 2, the items on menu 8 are given to display (yellow) color in correspondence with 70% shading, and future signals are
The shaded display creation unit 22 and form output mechanism 19 are notified.

Accordingly, in the form output mechanism 19, information is stored so that 70% shading is performed when printing out. Also, the shading display creation section 22
In this step, the processing section 23 instructs the display mechanism 17 to fill the desired frame with (yellow) color. Note that in the figure, a diagonal line 27 is displayed instead of the (yellow) color. Even with this kind of color display, it may still be difficult to see the characters within the frame, so regarding the display on the display 6,
After displaying a predetermined color as indicated by the diagonal line 27 in the figure, a visible display 28 is left to alert people that the color display is being performed (of course, it is not necessary to leave it). , it is possible to erase the shaded display. In this case, as shown,
The shading non-display/display processing section 26 is activated based on an instruction from the menu 8.
