Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To confirm the layout of a rule frame whose size is changed for every character when the rule frame is produced in a document. SOLUTION: When the setting of a rule frame is instructed at a part of the document displayed at a sentence display part 4, a virtual rule frame is displayed at a virtual rule frame display pat 10. Then a vertical/horizontal cursor is operated against the virtual rule frame, and a virtual rule reduction/ extension part 9 changes the size of the virtual rule frame for every character of sentences in response to the operation of the cursor. When the virtual rule frame is set in a desired size, the decision of a rule frame is instructed by the operation of a return key. Thus a rule decision part 11 sets a rule frame at the position where the virtual rule frame is displayed. The layout of the rule frame can be confirmed before the rule frame is produced in the document, and furthermore the size of the rule frame is changed for every character. As a result, the equal spaces are secured between the rules and characters even when plural rule frames are produced. Thus the beautiful sentences are obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rectangular ruled line creating apparatus for creating Japanese documents.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional ruled line creating apparatus, a rectangular ruled line area is declared and a ruled line is created by setting two points on a diagonal line or setting a leading line and copying the lines. Was there.

[0003]

However, in the prior art, not only is the rectangular area of a ruled line not perceived as a rectangular area, but it is also possible to determine which character in another row or column the ruled line is applied to. I could not judge it.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for confirming a layout of a rectangular area of a ruled line before creating an actual ruled line.

[0005]

A ruled line creating apparatus of the present invention is a ruled line creating apparatus for creating a rectangular ruled line frame in a document, and a document display means for displaying at least a part of the document. A temporary ruled line display means for displaying a rectangular temporary ruled line frame on the displayed document in an overlapping manner, and a size changing means for changing the size of the displayed temporary ruled line frame in units of characters of the document. A ruled-line-frame determining unit that determines the temporary ruled-line frame superimposed and displayed on the document by the temporary ruled-line display unit as the rectangular ruled-line frame to be created on the document according to a user's instruction; When was done,
The gist of the present invention is to include ruled line frame setting means for setting a ruled line frame at a position corresponding to the provisional ruled line frame of the document.

In the ruled line creating apparatus of the present invention, the document display means displays at least a part of the document, and the temporary ruled line frame display means displays the displayed temporary document by superimposing a rectangular temporary ruled line frame. . The size changing means changes the size of the displayed temporary ruled line frame in units of characters of the document. The ruled line frame determination means determines the temporary ruled line frame displayed on the document by the temporary ruled line display means as the rectangular ruled line frame to be created in the document in response to a user's instruction, and this determination is made. At this time, the ruled line frame setting means sets the ruled line frame at a position corresponding to the provisional ruled line frame in which the document is confirmed.

According to the ruled line creating apparatus of the present invention, since a rectangular provisional ruled line frame is displayed in an overlapping manner on a document, the position of the ruled line frame can be known in advance before setting the ruled line frame. Play. Moreover, since the size of the provisional ruled line frame is changed in units of characters of the document, even if a plurality of ruled line frames are set, the intervals between the ruled lines and the characters can be easily made the same, and visually. It can be a beautiful document.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a ruled line creating apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 in the figure denotes a central processing unit (CPU) that controls the entire system based on data input from the input unit 2. With this CPU, all devices are suppressed.

The character string input by the input unit 2 is stored in the sentence storage unit 6 while being displayed on the sentence display unit 4 while being converted by the kana to kanji conversion unit 3 into a kanji character string. The text is created while performing editing processing such as copying and deletion by the unit 5.

Here, when a ruled line creation is instructed in the input unit 2, control is transferred to the ruled line creation device 7, and when one end of the ruled line frame is designated in the ruled line start position designating unit 8, the minimum ruled line in the initial state is set. The frame is displayed by the virtual ruled line display unit 10 in a state where it is overwritten on the character of the designated portion of the text display unit 4 (if there is no such character, a blank). Therefore, in order to create a desired ruled line frame, the virtual ruled line reduction / enlargement unit 9 extends / reduces a rectangular row to the right by one character by one key stroke of the right cursor and one character by one key stroke of the left cursor by operating the up / down / left / right cursor. Extends / reduces a rectangular column to the left of the character, extends / reduces a rectangular line one line up with one keystroke of the up cursor, and extends / reduces a rectangular line one line down with one keystroke of the down cursor. By visually pulling the rectangular ruled line, the virtual ruled line display unit 10 overwrites and displays the desired shape on the document in the text display unit 4 visually. This virtual ruled line is only displayed superimposed on the document and does not affect the document storage area.

Here, when the desired ruled line frame image is visually captured, the ruled line determining unit 11 determines the desired ruled line frame. Then, the ruled line data output unit 12 outputs the actual ruled line data in the same rectangular state at the same position as the virtual ruled line, is replaced with the character data of the rectangular frame area of the existing document, and the actual ruled line is displayed on the text display unit 4. At the same time, the text storage unit 6 also stores the actual ruled lines in the existing document by being replaced with the character data of the rectangular frame area.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the ruled line forming apparatus according to the embodiment. In the ruled line creating apparatus according to the embodiment, one end of the rectangle is determined by <701>, and <702>
Displays the minimum frame of the virtual ruled line on the text. Where <7
03>, the ruled line frame is enlarged or reduced to a desired size. When the up cursor is input, <704>
Moves the horizontal ruled line up by one line, and the virtual ruled line frame accompanying this is displayed. When the down cursor is input, <70
5> moves the horizontal ruled line down by one line, and displays a virtual ruled line frame accompanying this. If the right cursor is entered,
According to <707>, the vertical ruled line is shifted to the right by one digit, and a virtual ruled line frame accompanying this is displayed. When the left cursor is input, the vertical ruled line is shifted one digit to the left by <708>, and a virtual ruled line frame is displayed accordingly. These displays are <70
2>. If the key is ESC (meaning cancellation), the ruled line creation processing is stopped, and the original state is restored.

Here, when the return key (meaning determination) is input, the ruled line is determined at this position, and <7
09>, the ruled line data is output, the ruled line data is stored in the text, and the actual ruled line is displayed.
0>, the control shifts to text creation from the ruled line creation device.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a situation in which ruled lines are created on a sentence. First, (1) indicates that creation of a ruled line frame is instructed, one end thereof is determined, and the initial state of the virtual ruled line is displayed. Here, when the right cursor is input once, the state becomes (2), and when the right cursor is input four more times, the region in the horizontal direction is determined and becomes the state (3).
Therefore, in order to determine the vertical direction, when the down cursor is input once, the state becomes (4), and when the down cursor is input five more times, the rectangular state becomes (5), and the state is confirmed as shown in (6). Then, the actual ruled line is displayed as shown in FIG. Here, the upper, lower, left, and right cursors may be input in any order. For example, even if the right and lower cursors are input alternately once, the same result is obtained.

According to the ruled line creating apparatus of the present embodiment described above, it is possible to display a virtual ruled line frame and create a ruled line frame. Therefore, by referring to the virtual ruled line frame,
You can check the effect on the text. In particular, in an apparatus of a type in which a ruled line is set on a character to delete the character data of the document and save the ruled line data, it is possible to prevent the necessary character data from disappearing due to the creation of an undesired ruled line frame. Moreover, since the virtual ruled line frame can be freely changed in units of characters using the up, down, left and right cursors, not only can a ruled line be created at a desired position, but also when a plurality of ruled line frames are created, the space between the ruled line and the character can be easily set. It can be the same and a visually beautiful document.

In this embodiment, the up, down, left, and right cursors are used to change the virtual ruled line frame.
It may be by a device or the like.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments at all, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. Of course.
