Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily prepare a table by setting maximum values for the width and height of the entire table to be prepared and maximum values for the width and height of a table frame and automatically enlarging the width or height of the table frame within a set range when the number of characters or lines exceeds an area surrounded by ruled lines. CONSTITUTION:A table preparing condition set processing mechanism 1 sets the maximum values for the width and height of the entire table to be prepared and the maximum values for the width and height of the table frame. Next, a table ruled line frame preparing mechanism 2 inputs and edits the ruled lines. A table frame preparation processing mechanism 3 executes area control while recognizing the rectangular area surrounded by the ruled lines as an input area. When a cursor is within the table frame, a one-line input processing mechanism 4 controls a character input for one line. When the inputted character is a line shift code, the processing is finished. When the width of the table frame is lacked, the width is widened within the range of the maximum value. When the number of lines is lacked, a line insertion processing mechanism 5 inserts lines within the range of the maximum value for the height of the table frame by inputting the line shift code.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a table creation method.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when creating a table, first a table frame is created and data is input into the frame. When data overflows the created table frame, the input data is ignored or moved down.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional table creation method described above, when data overflows the created table frame, the input data is ignored or processed at different levels. If you want to expand horizontally, exit data input mode, perform processing such as inserting a column, and then
There is a problem in that data must be re-entered.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The table creation method of the present invention is as follows:
A table area input setting mechanism that sets the maximum width and height of the entire table to be created, a frame maximum value input mechanism that sets the maximum width and height of the table frame, and resetting the table frame width. A frame width resetting input mechanism that sets whether or not it is possible, a table border creation mechanism that creates table borders, and a table that recognizes and controls each area surrounded by ruled lines as an input area. It controls the frame creation processing mechanism and character input for one line, and if the width of the table frame can be reset, if the number of input data exceeds the width of the table frame, it will be displayed up to the maximum value. Processing to widen the frame width 1
The present invention is characterized by having a row input processing mechanism and a row insertion processing mechanism that expands the height of the table frame to a maximum value when the number of input rows exceeds the number of rows in the table frame.

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation flow of an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, when table condition setting is instructed, table creation condition setting mechanism 1 is activated. When the table creation condition setting mechanism 1 ends or if there is no setting instruction, the table ruled line frame creation mechanism 2, which inputs ruled lines and edits the input ruled lines, is activated.

When the processing by the table ruled line frame creation mechanism 2 is completed, the table frame creation mechanism 3 is activated, which recognizes each rectangle surrounded by ruled lines as a data input area and performs all area control. When the data input position is specified in any input area, the one-line input processing mechanism 4 is activated to input one line of data within the table frame.

After line feed processing is performed by the one-line input processing mechanism 4, when the number of data input lines exceeds the height of the input area of the table frame, the line insertion processing mechanism 5 is activated. When the maximum height of the table frame or the maximum height of the table is set by the table condition setting processing mechanism 1, if the height of the table frame does not exceed the maximum value of the table frame, the height of the entire table is The row insertion processing mechanism 5 is activated as long as the table frame height is within the table creation range, but if the maximum height of the table frame is exceeded or the height of the entire table exceeds the table creation range. In this case, the row insertion processing mechanism 5 is not activated.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation flow of the table creation condition setting mechanism 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, when setting the maximum width and height of the entire table, the table area input setting mechanism 1-1 is activated. When setting the maximum width and height of the table frame, the frame maximum value input mechanism 1-2 is activated. If the maximum frame width is specified, the table frame width can be automatically reset. If it is not specified, whether or not resetting is possible can be input using the frame width resetting input mechanism 1-3.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation flow of the one-line input processing mechanism 4 of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, if the input character is a line feed code, the process ends. If it is not a newline code,
Count the number of data in one line and determine whether it exceeds the maximum number of characters in the frame.

If the number has not been exceeded, the input of the next character is waited. If the width is exceeded, determine whether the table width can be reset.

[0015] If this is not possible, the process is terminated. If possible, determine whether the number of data in one line exceeds the maximum width of the frame.

[0016] If the number is exceeded, the process is terminated. If it does not exceed the width, it is determined whether the width of the entire table is within the table creation range. If it is within the range, increase the table frame width and wait for the next character to be input. If the table creation range is exceeded, the process is terminated.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] By adopting the table creation method as explained above, when data exceeding the created table frame is input, the data can be displayed without redrawing the borders or re-inputting the data. This has the useful effect of allowing the creation of
