Abstract

PURPOSE:To display a graphic area at a position where matching is executed with the state of a document by displaying the graphic area where the graphic is outputted at the position adapted to size information decided by format information on character editing. CONSTITUTION:The name of the graphic inputted as a parameter is stored in a read buffer (RBUF) in RAM 12, the graphic pattern of RBUF is checked and the sizes in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the graphic are obtained. The respective sizes and a multiplying factor inputted as the parameter are read from the multiplying factor memory (MAG) of RAM 12 and they are multiplied. The length in the lateral direction of the graphic area is divided by the character pitch (CPCH) of the synthesized document, and the lateral width of the graphic area is converted into the number of the digits of characters so as to obtain it. The longitudinal width of the graphic area is similarly divided by the row pitch (LPCH) of RAM 12 and it is converted into the number of rows so as to obtain it. Then, the obtained number of the character digits and the number of the rows are added, the graphic area on a screen is decided and a control signal showing a command parameter and the graphic area is displayed.

[Explanation of Graphic Area Reserving Operation (FIGS. 4 to 5)] Assuming that the graphic file is created in advance and stored in the DISK 14, the operation for reserving the graphic area in the document will be described below.

First, in the document editing screen of FIG. 4, with the cursor 50 displayed on the CRT 18 as shown in the figure, the command key 13-1 for securing the area of the keyboard 13 is displayed.
Press. As a result, a key input interrupt is generated in the CPU 10, and the area securing program is activated. At this time, the position of the cursor 50 in FIG. 4 becomes the upper left point of the graphic area.

FIG. 5 shows commands and parameters input from the keyboard 13, and "Zuke" is a command for instructing to secure a graphic area. “Madorizu 1” is a parameter representing the name of the graphic file to be incorporated, “* 2” is a parameter representing the magnification of the graphic as a linear ratio, and the space 51 between each command parameter is a delimiter.

Here, 52 is a control symbol showing a region 63 such as a graphic, and 60 is a graphic region. Reference numeral 61 indicates the enlargement ratio of the figure, and 62 indicates the name of the figure file to be incorporated.

Based on the pattern size of the graphic file designated by 62 and the character pitch / line pitch in the document, the number of dots is doubled to the horizontal size of the graphic pattern "Madorizu 1". The figure area 63 having the number of digits into which is entered and the number of lines into which the number of dots is twice the vertical size is obtained, and it is shown that the figure area 63 is secured as shown in FIG.

This program is started, for example, by a carriage return key or the like after pressing the area reservation command key 13-1 of the keyboard 13 and inputting command / parameters.

First, the name of the figure input as a parameter in step S1, DI in the case of FIG.
Open and read the graphic file of SK14, RAM
Store in 12 read buffers (RBUF). Then, in step S2, the RBUF graphic pattern is checked to determine the size of the graphic in the vertical and horizontal directions. In step S3, the vertical and horizontal sizes of the graphic obtained in step S2 and the magnification input as a parameter are read from the magnification memory (MAG) of the RAM 12 and multiplied.

In step S4, the horizontal length of the graphic area is divided by the character pitch (CPCH) of the document to be synthesized, and the horizontal width of the graphic area is converted into the number of characters. Similarly, in step S5, the vertical width of the graphic area is divided by the row pitch (LPCH) of the RAM 12 and converted into the number of rows to obtain the value. In step S6, the cursor 50 is moved to the position of steps S4 and S5.
The figure area on the screen is determined by adding the number of character digits and the number of lines obtained in step S7, and in step S7, command parameters and control signals indicating the figure area are displayed as shown in FIG.

[Description of Output Operation of Document Containing Graphic (FIG. 8)] FIGS. 8A to 8D are diagrams showing an example in which the graphic is read, the enlargement process is performed, and the document is printed.

FIG. 8A shows a graphic pattern 80 read from a graphic file, and FIG. 8B shows this pattern enlarged in the horizontal direction by a designated magnification (in this case, 2 times). FIG. 8C is a diagram in which the pattern of FIG. 8B is enlarged in the vertical direction by a designated magnification (2 times), and FIG. 8D is printed by incorporating the graphic pattern of FIG. 8C into a document. It is a figure which shows an example.

[Description of Output Processing in Printing (FIG. 9)] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the printing processing operation.

In step S10, the graphic instructed as described above is read from the DISK 14 into the RBUF of the RAM 12, and in steps S11 and S12, the amount of magnification (MAG),
It is enlarged or reduced and stored in the RBUF of the RAM 12.
In step S13, the document information is read from the DISK 14 and stored in the print buffer (PBUF) of the RAM 12. At this time, the figure area is emptied and the document information is PB.
Stored in UF. In step S14, the graphic information of RBUF and the document information of PBUF are combined and output to the printer for printing.

[Explanation of Pattern Enlargement Processing (FIG. 10
(A) to (f))] FIGS. 10 (a) to (f) are examples of the case where the read graphic pattern is doubled. In the figure, CMCNT
Is a digit counter for performing enlargement processing, and LNCNT is a row counter.

FIG. 10A shows a pattern read from the graphic file of DISK14. At this time, the figure pattern is read into the RBUF having a size obtained by multiplying the number of dots in the vertical and horizontal directions of the figure by the magnification.

FIG. 10B shows the initial state of the enlargement process. That is, for CMCNT, the right end of the read pattern is set as an initial value, and LNCNT is set to 1 (line), and C
The dot at the position indicated by MCNT and LNCNT is CM
Copy the value obtained by multiplying CNT by 2 (magnification ratio) and the position immediately before it. This is repeated for LNCNT from 1 to the number of vertical dots. This is shown in FIG. 10 (b). LN
When the CNT reaches the number of vertical dots, the CNTCNT is decremented by 1, the same operation is repeated, and the horizontal direction is doubled.
It is 0 (c).

FIGS. 10D to 10F are shown in FIGS.
FIG. 10 is a diagram in which the operation of (c) is performed by changing the rows and columns.
In (e), the line of LNCNT is copied to the position obtained by multiplying LNCNT by 2 (magnification) and the position immediately before that, and FIG. 10 (f) shows the figure read after the processing of LNCNT is completed. This shows the pattern when the pattern enlargement processing is completed.

In the present embodiment, the enlargement ratios in the vertical and horizontal directions are the same, but the enlargement ratios may be specified independently in the vertical and horizontal directions.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, a simple process is performed in which a graphic area enough to accommodate an expanded graphic pattern is secured in the document in advance, and the graphic pattern is expanded or reduced and incorporated at the time of output. Thus, there is an effect that the compatibility with the graphic file of the conventional device can be obtained, and the limitation of the size of the graphic at the time of output can be removed without damaging the image at the time of creating the graphic.

[0035]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to control the state of a document by controlling the graphic area to which a graphic is to be output to be displayed at a position that conforms to the size information determined by the format information related to character editing. The effect that the graphic area can be displayed at the position where the matching is achieved is obtained.
