Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for creating a comic block copy.

(Technical background of the invention and its problems) As a comic editor's work, there is name sticking. This work involves sticking the typeset letters into the "bukidare" of the picture drawn by the manga artist, and it needs to be completed in a short time.

Traditionally, name sticking has been done by cutting out the typeset letters for each balloon and pasting them inside the balloon.
This work was labor intensive. Moreover,
If the typeset characters do not fit in the balloon, the characters on the photographic paper must be cut line by line or character by character, and line spacing and character spacing must be adjusted so that they fit into the balloon. Also, if the typeface of the typeset letters was different, or if the letter size was different, it was almost impossible to make corrections on the spot, and it was necessary to start over again.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and displays a comic picture and a name (character) on the screen, and moves the name position on the screen, changes the line spacing of the character, and the character. It is an object of the present invention to provide a system capable of easily pasting a name by enabling corrections such as a space change and a font change.

(Summary of the Invention) The present invention relates to a system for creating a block copy by allocating a name in a balloon of a comic picture. The comic picture and its name (characters) are used as work instruction commands and editing conditions. Along with the function to display the name on the screen and change the position of the name on the screen, change the line spacing of characters, change the character spacing, change the typeface, etc., it will be possible to easily and efficiently carry out the work of pasting names. It was done.

(Embodiment of the Invention) FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 respectively show a schematic construction of one embodiment of the present invention and an area construction of a display screen used in a work. The system main body 3 is a computer system including hardware using a microcomputer and software for controlling the system. The system main unit 3 has a bitmap display 5,
A keyboard 6, a tablet 7 and a mouse 8 are connected, and a manuscript and a name are displayed, a specific position is designated, and characters and figures can be input and modified. Also,
A floppy disk 2 is connected to the system body 3 so that the name data entered by the word processor 1 can be read. The name and the allocation result are output to the floppy disk 4 and printed on the name film using the CTS system or the like. On the other hand, the original 10 of the comic is read into the system main body 3 by the image scanner / printer 9, and the operator displays the read original 10 on the bitmap display 5 to perform the name assignment work. The manuscript whose name has been assigned is output as an image print 11 by the image scanner / printer 9 so that the finish of the manuscript can be checked quickly.

Bitmap display 5 during name assignment
A screen 50 having the structure shown in FIG. 2 is displayed above. The screen 50 includes a document display area 51, a command area 52, an editing condition area 53, a name display area 54 and an instruction area 55.
The document display area 51 is displayed on the entire screen 50, and the other area is displayed on top of the original display area 51. The manuscript display area 51 is for displaying the manuscript 10 taken in from the image scanner / printer 9 and for determining the name allocation position. The manuscript 10 and the name data 21 are displayed as image data in this area. ing. The command area 52 is a screen for instructing a command to execute a work instruction. Editing conditions area 53
Is a place for displaying the editing conditions such as the composition of each name block and the typeface. The direction of the set, the amount of line feed, the amount of character advance, the character size, the typeface, the ratio of the long type, the ratio of the flat type and the reduction ratio Display and change. In the name display area 54, the name is corrected before the allocation position is determined, the ruby is confirmed and revised, and the functions such as ruby and full-width quartet are input. Display can be performed. Instruction area 55
Is used to give an input instruction when the system requires input from the user such as a job name or a file name. Of these display areas, the document display area 51
Is always displayed on the entire screen 50, but other display areas are displayed over the original display area 51 only when necessary.

A method for assigning names in the above-mentioned structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Figure 3 shows
It is the schematic which shows the whole process of name allocation using the above-mentioned system. The name of the comic is written with a pencil in the balloon of Manuscript 10.
Input as 12 to the word processor 1. The above-mentioned function and key data are input to the word processor 1 together with the name itself. The key data includes each job indicating one unit of work, a page number designating a page of a document, and a block identification for dividing each of the balloons.
It is used to efficiently perform the subsequent allocation work.
The name original 12 which has been input to the word processor 1 is stored in the floppy disk 2.

On the other hand, the manuscript 10 is read by the image scanner printer 9 into the system main body 3, and later, the name film is read.
Manually erase and save the name written in pencil to combine with 41. The data of the floppy disk 2 and the manuscript 10 created as described above are processed by the system body 3, and the name assignment result is output to the floppy disk 4. Further, the image print 11 in which the name is combined with the original 10 is output and can be used for a work instruction or the like.
The name output to floppy disk 4 and the allocation result are
Processed by CTS (Computer Typesetting System) system,
It is printed on the name film 41, and is combined with the original 10 to form a finished original 42. The proofreading is performed by using the finished document 42, and is corrected by this system while referring to the proofreading result.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of name allocation work using the system body 3. To read the manuscript 10, a command area 52 is displayed on the screen 50 on the pit map display 5, and the scanner input is designated by the cursor. Since the read original 10 is displayed together with the grid lines, if the original 10 is tilted, the original 10 is read again. When it is confirmed that the input is correct, use the cursor to specify grid display OFF and delete the grid. Next, the command area 52 is displayed, and the page origin 511 is designated as shown in FIG. The origin position is usually marked on the original, and the cursor is moved to specify the mark. Similarly, the register mark 512 is designated by the cursor. To read the name document 12 stored on the floppy disk 2, display the command area 52,
Specify the name file name with the cursor. Next, in the instruction area 55, enter the file name with the keyboard
The names in the ten pages are displayed in the name display area 54. The name displayed in the name display area 54 can be corrected by designating deletion, insertion, or correction in the command area 52 with the cursor. In addition, editing conditions such as changing the style and typeface and revising, modifying functions such as ruby and full-width quads, and dividing name blocks are possible.

To position the name, the command area 52 is displayed, and if the name movement is designated by the cursor, the name display area and the command area 52 are reduced, and the name blinks at the cursor position. If you move the cursor, the name will move accordingly.
Specify within 3. When the allocation is completed, command area 5
If 2 is displayed and the next name call is specified with the cursor,
Since the next name is displayed in the name display area 54, positioning is performed by repeating the above operation. If you want to modify the name after positioning, display the command area 52 and specify the name modification, and then specify near the center of the name you want to modify with the cursor, the name will be displayed in the name display area 54. Is displayed on the screen, so make corrections as described above. When the name positioning for one page is completed, the command area 52 is displayed and the positioning end is designated by the cursor. Next, if the screen print is designated and the image print 11 is not necessary, if the positioning end is designated again, the name data having the positional information is output and the original on the screen is erased (see FIG. 6).

Names can be assigned as described above. Although the case of inputting the name using the word processor has been described, the name can be directly input to the system body 3 using the tablet 7. That is,
When the command area 52 is displayed, the tablet input is designated by the cursor, and the characters are designated by the tablet, the characters are sequentially displayed in the name display area.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, a comic picture and a name are displayed on the screen, and corrections such as moving the position of the name on the screen, changing the character spacing, changing the character spacing, and changing the typeface are performed. This can be enabled, and name input and allocation can be performed easily. In addition, it becomes easy to correct when there is an error in the name.
