DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a Japanese word processor of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an electrical block diagram showing the overall configuration. Reference numeral 10 is a display device such as a CRT display for displaying characters and figures, 20 is an input device such as a keyboard for inputting printing conditions and character data, and 30 is document information and contents (data) of a back cover or a sticker. A storage device 40 for storing the storage device 40, a control processing device 40 for performing processing such as input and editing of a character string based on an input from the input device 20 and storing the storage device 30 in the storage device 30 or executing print control, Reference numeral 50 denotes a printing device which is controlled by the control processing device 40 and prints a spine cover or a sticker.

The control processing device 40 is composed of a microcomputer and the like, and has a pasting shape designating function for designating a shape of a backstrip or a sticking target when printing a backstrip or the like realized by an information processing program. Part 4
1, viewpoint position specification function unit 4 for specifying the viewpoint position when viewing
2, created by the information specified by the pasting shape designating function unit 41, the pasting shape transforming function unit 43 that transforms the characters and figures of the back cover and the pasting sheet created by the information designated by the pasting position designating function unit 42 It also has a viewpoint position changing function unit 44 that transforms characters and figures on the spine and pasting sheets.

FIG. 2 shows a printing procedure and a printing example in which, when a sticky sheet is printed, a cylindrical pillar is designated as a sticking target and the characters and figures of the sticky sheet are deformed and printed in the Japanese word processor according to the present invention. Shows. (A) is the display screen 11A in which the contents of the pasting paper are created, and the input device 2
The contents of the pasting paper input from 0 are displayed on the display device 10. Here, when the paste printing is designated by the input device 20, the sticking target shape setting screen 12 is displayed as in the display screen 11B shown in (b). Then, when the designation input is completed after designating each designation item on the pasting target shape setting screen 12, as in the printing example 51 shown in FIG.
Then, the printing device 50 prints the characters and figures of the created pasting paper in the automatically deformed form according to the shape of the pasting target specified on the pasting target shape setting screen 12. When the printed sticking paper is stuck on the cylindrical pillar, the characters and figures of the sticking paper can be seen without distortion as in the pasting example 52 shown in (d).
FIG. 3 illustrates the creation of the modified data of FIG. (A)
Is a relationship diagram between the shape 13 set on the pasting target shape setting screen 12 and the shape 14 of the original data, and it can be seen that the length is extended toward the left and right ends of the pasted paper. (B) illustrates a method of transforming the characters and figures on the pasted paper. After the size of the transformation data is calculated from the pasting target shape and the pasting size set on the pasting target shape setting screen 12, the transformation data is calculated. Subdivide into the smallest unit (dot unit). Then, a relational expression (deformation expression) of the coordinate position such as which position of the original data the position of the deformation data corresponds to is generated.
When the generation of the transformation formula is completed, the transformation data can be created by calculating the position of the original data and repeating the process of copying the dot data by the size of the transformation data.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of functional processing by each functional unit of the control processing device 40 when a cylindrical pillar is designated as an attachment target when printing a sticky sheet, and characters and figures of the sticky sheet are deformed and printed. Is. In step 110, when the paste printing is designated by the input device 20, the pasting target shape setting screen 12 is displayed on the display device 10. Step 120,
In step 130, the process waits until all the setting items displayed in the pasting target shape setting screen 12 are set. In step 140, the pasting target shape setting screen 12 used for setting each setting item is deleted from the display device 10. In step 150, the pasted content 3 of the storage device 30
The content information of the pasting paper stored in 1 is acquired. In step 160, data in which the characters and figures of the pasted paper sheet that have been created are transformed is created in accordance with the contents of each item set in step 120. In Step 170, Step 160
The deformation data created in step 3 is printed by the printing device 50.

FIG. 5 shows a modified data creation processing step 160.
3 is a flowchart showing the details of FIG. In step 161, the number of dots of the modified data is calculated. Step 162
Then, a relational expression (deformation formula) of the coordinate position such as which position in the original data the position where the deformation data corresponds to is generated based on the specified shape and the size of the pasting target. In step 163, a counter, which is an internal variable for determining whether or not the creation of modified data is completed, is initialized. In steps 164 and 165, the position of the original data is calculated from the transformation formula generated in step 161, and the dot data is copied. In step 166, the counter, which is an internal variable, is updated. In step 167, the number of dots of the deformation data calculated in step 162 is compared with that of the counter, and if the generation of deformation data is not completed, step 16
Return to 4.

FIG. 6 shows a printing procedure and a printing example in which a viewpoint position is designated and a character or a figure on the pasting paper is deformed and printed when printing the pasting paper. (A) is a display screen 11C in which the contents of the pasting paper are created, and the contents of the pasting paper input from the input device 20 are displayed on the display device 10. Here, when the paste printing is designated by the input device 20,
The viewpoint position setting screen 17 is displayed like the display screen 11D shown in (b). Then, after the designation input is completed after designating each designation item on the viewpoint position setting screen 17, (c)
As shown in a printing example 53 shown in FIG. 5, the input device 20 automatically transforms the created characters and figures of the pasted paper according to the viewpoint position information specified on the viewpoint position setting screen 17 by the printing device 50. Printed. 45 ° printed sticker
When affixed to a signboard having an inclination, the characters and figures on the affixed paper can be seen without distortion, as in the pasting example 54 shown in (d).

The flowchart of the functional processing in each functional unit of the control processing device 40 of FIG. 6 is as shown in step 161 of FIG.
This can be realized by adding the viewpoint element in the creation of the transformation formula of.

[0014]

According to the document creating apparatus of the present invention, when printing a spine cover such as a created file or a pasting sheet for advertisements, advertisements, etc., according to the designated shape of the pasting object and the viewpoint position,
Since the characters and figures on the spine cover and pasting sheet are automatically deformed, you do not have to perform complicated operations, and you can
It is possible to create a spine cover or a sticker that allows characters and figures to be seen without distortion.
