Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the reference position the same with a longitudinal ruled line and a transverse ruled line and to set the transverse ruled line and the longitudinal ruled line in a first column and a first row respectively by changing the form of a cursor and the reference position in accordance with the moving direction of the cursor. CONSTITUTION:The cursor is moved by a cursor moving means 212, and a cursor form and reference position changing means 211 changes the form of the cursor and the reference position in accordance with the moving direction of the cursor. For example, the form of the cursor is changed from a square to an arrow, and the direction of the arrow is changed to the moving direction in accordance with the moving direction of the arrow. That is, the arrow is turned right and down when the arrow-shaped cursor is moved right and down, and it is turned left and upward when it is moved left and upward. Consequently, the starting point and the end point of a ruled line are correctly designated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a key line setting function in a document creating apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When drawing a conventional K-line, the cursor is positioned at the starting point of the K-line and then the cursor is positioned at the ending point of the K-line to draw the K-line, or the cursor is simply positioned at the starting point of the K-line. It is known to draw a K-line up to the end of the line where the K-line is located when a K-line setting command is given.

However, in any of these methods, the shape of the cursor is, for example, a rectangular shape, and the starting point of the key line is not accurately and accurately indicated.

[0004]

In the above prior art, for example, since the cursor has a rectangular shape, when the key line setting is erased by designating the starting point, the reference position at which the key line is erased is set to the vertical key. In the case of a line, it is on the upper right side of the cursor, and in the case of the horizontal key line it is on the lower left side. Therefore, there is a problem that the operation is difficult to understand when setting the vertical key line and the horizontal key line in a mixed manner. Also, for example, even if the reference position is fixed to the lower right side of the cursor, the cursor cannot move to the left of the first digit, so the horizontal key line is set at the first digit, erased, or edited. Can not do it. or,
There is a problem that the vertical key line cannot be drawn on the first line because the page cannot move above the first line.

An object of the present invention is to make the reference position of the K line editing / calibration function such as erasing and setting of the K line the same for the vertical K line and the horizontal K line, and to set the horizontal K line at the first digit to the first line. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creating apparatus capable of setting and erasing a vertical key line, or editing a first digit horizontal key line and a first line vertical key line.

[0006]

The above object is achieved by means for moving a cursor and means for changing the shape and reference position of the cursor according to the moving direction of the cursor.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the cursor is moved by the means for moving the cursor, and the shape and the reference position of the cursor are changed according to the moving direction of the cursor. The horizontal key lines are set to have the same reference position, and the horizontal key line can be set at the first digit and the vertical key line can be set at the first row.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document creation apparatus showing an embodiment of the present invention, which comprises an input device such as a keyboard 1, a document creation processing section 2 for realizing a document creation function, and a display device 3. The document creation processing unit 2 sets, deletes, moves the key line,
Key line processing unit 21 for realizing a key line setting function such as copying
Etc. The K-line processing unit 21 changes the cursor shape according to the cursor moving direction, the cursor shape reference position changing unit 211, the cursor moving unit 212 that moves the cursor, and deletes the K line setting by specifying the starting point. Means 213, key line setting and erasing means 214 for deleting the setting of the key line by specifying the range, key line setting and deleting means 214 for setting and deleting the key line by moving the cursor.
It is composed of a key line copying means 216 for copying the key line, a key line moving means 217 for moving the key line, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the keyboard 1 has a key line key 10 for activating the key line setting function, a cursor movement key 11 for moving the cursor, a ten key 12 used for selecting the key line setting function, and a keypad. It is composed of an end key 13 for ending the line setting function.

The key line setting function will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The key line setting function is activated by pressing the key line key 10.

In the key line setting function, first, as shown in FIG. 22, an operation guidance 301 and a function selection matrix 302 for selecting the key line setting function are displayed (41). In this matrix, "7" of the numeric keypad 12 is "starting point",
"8" corresponds to "range", "9" corresponds to "cursor", "4" corresponds to "copy", and "5" corresponds to "move".

Next, key input is performed (42).

If the input key is '9' on the numeric keypad 12,
In order to erase the setting of the key line linked to the cursor movement,
The subroutine BY \ MV \ CRSR is called (43). Similarly, if the input key is '8' on the ten-key pad 12, the subroutine BY \ 2POINTS is called (44) in order to perform the process of deleting the setting of the key line by specifying the range. If it is '7', a subroutine is executed to perform the key line setting deletion processing by specifying the start point.
Call BY \ S \ POINT (45). If it is "5", the key line is moved (46), and if it is "4", the key line is copied (47). If the input key is the end key 13, the key line setting function is ended.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a subroutine BY \ MV \ CRSR that executes a process of deleting settings associated with cursor movement.
Shown in.

In this subroutine, first, a variable F indicating the state of this function and a variable W indicating the line width are initialized (430). The variable F is set when 0, erased when 1,
When 2, the cursor is moved. The variable W indicates a thin line when 0 and a thick line when 1. In this initialization,
Setting, bold line.

Next, the subroutine INIT \ CRSR is called to initialize the variable C \ P for managing the cursor shape, and the cursor shape is changed as indicated by 303 in FIG. 23 (43).
1).

As shown in FIG. 23, the operation guidance 30
4. A function selection matrix 305 for selecting a function is displayed (432). In this matrix, "7" of the numeric keypad 12 is "thick line", "8" is "thin line", "9" is "erase",
"4", "5", and "6" correspond to "cursor movement".

Next, key input is performed (433).

When the input key is the numeric keypad 12 corresponding to the function selecting matrix 305, the key line setting function is set (434).

If the input key is '9' on the numeric keypad 12,
Since it is "erasure", set 1 to the variable F. If '8',
Since it is'thin line 'indicating that the line width is a thin line in the setting, 0 is set in the variable F and 0 in the variable W. If it is "7", 0 is set in the variable F and 1 in the variable W because it is a "thick line" indicating that the line width is a thick line in the setting. If it is "4", "5", or "6", it is "cursor movement", and therefore 2 is set to the variable F.

When the input key is the cursor movement key 11,
Calls the subroutine MV \ CRSR that sets and deletes the key line according to the function and the entered cursor movement key (43
5). At this time, the parameter indicating the moving direction of the cursor 37 is called 0 when it is “↑”, 1 when it is “↓”, 2 when it is “←”, and 3 when it is “→”.

When the input key is the end key 13, this subroutine is ended (436). Key input is the end key 1
Repeat until 3 is input.

FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of the subroutine MV \ CRSR for setting and deleting the key line according to the movement of the cursor. This subroutine has a cursor movement direction D, a function state F, and a line width W as parameters.

In this subroutine, first, the functional subroutines GET \ C \ P \ L and GET \ C \ P \ C are called to obtain the line and column which are the reference position indicated by the cursor, and the variable C \ TBL is respectively set.
It is stored in 1.L and C \ TBL1.C (4351).

Next, the subroutine SET \ CRSR is called with the cursor movement direction D as a parameter, and the cursor shape is changed or the movement processing is performed according to the movement direction (43).
52).

The function state F is judged (4353), and if F is neither set nor erased, this subroutine is ended.

If F is set or erased, the reference line and column after the cursor movement is set to the functional subroutine GET \ C \
Variables C \ TBL2.L, C \ TBL2.C obtained by calling P \ L, GET \ C \ P \ C
(4354). Furthermore, it is determined whether the function state F is set (4355), and if it is set, C \ TBL1.L line,
A C-line is set with a line width W from the C \ TBL1.C digit to the C \ TBL2.L line and the C \ TBL2.C digit (4357). If it is erased, C \ TBL1.L
The C-line is deleted from the line, C \ TBL1.C digit to the C \ TBL2.L line, C \ TBL2.C column (4356).

A subroutine INIT \ CRSR for initializing a variable C \ P for managing the cursor shape and changing the cursor shape
Is shown in FIG.

The variable C ¥ P for managing the cursor shape is initialized, and the cursor shape is changed to a cursor with the lower right of the position where the cursor is located as a reference.

When the variable C ¥ P is 0, the cursor is based on the lower right of the position where the cursor is located. When the variable C ¥ P is 1, the cursor is based on the upper right of the position where the cursor is located. When the reference cursor is 3, the cursor is shown with the upper left of the position of the cursor as the reference.

Change the cursor shape according to the moving direction,
Or a subroutine SET \ CR to move the cursor
Figure 7 shows the SR flowchart. This subroutine has a cursor movement direction D as a parameter.

In this subroutine, according to the moving direction D of the cursor, the subroutines MV \ CRSR0, MV \ CRSR1, MV \ C
Call RSR2 and MV \ CRSR3 to change the cursor shape or move the cursor.

Subroutines for changing the cursor shape or moving the cursor MV \ CRSR0, MV \ CRSR1, MV \ CRSR
2 and MV \ CRSR3 flow charts are shown in FIGS. 8, 9, 10, and 11, respectively.

With respect to the input of these cursor movement keys 11, the state transition of the cursor for changing the cursor shape or moving the cursor is performed as shown in FIG.

As is apparent from FIG. 12, the cursor is in the shape of an arrow, and the direction of the arrow is configured to change according to the moving direction of the arrow. That is, when the arrow-shaped cursor moves to the lower right, the arrow-shaped cursor points to the lower right, and when it moves to the upper left, it points to the upper left. Moreover, since the shape is changed from the normal rectangular cursor to the arrow-shaped cursor, the starting point and the ending point of the key line can be specified correctly. In the conventional rectangular cursor, it is not clear which position of the cursor indicates the starting point or the ending point of the key line, and sometimes the starting point of the vertical key line and the horizontal key line do not match. However, as in the present invention, since the shape is changed from the rectangular cursor to the arrow-shaped cursor and the direction is changed to the traveling direction, such a problem does not occur.

FIGS. 13 and 14 are flowcharts of the functional subroutines GET \ C \ P \ L and GET \ C \ P \ C for acquiring the line and column which are the reference position indicated by the cursor.

In these subroutines, the reference position as shown in FIG. 15 is set for each cursor shape.

In addition, when setting and erasing at these reference positions, for example, if a horizontal key line is set from the s-row m-th column to the s-row n-th column, as shown at 312 in FIG. 16 to 3 in FIG. 16 when the vertical key line is set from t row to m digit.
