In step 334, the page size / page paragraph of each page, that is, the block size of the page size / number area is calculated by the character layout process described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

After that, as will be described in detail later, 1) Vertical offset designation of the page heading / number area with respect to the printing plate area 2) Horizontal offset designation of the page heading / number area with respect to the printing surface area is added to add the page heading / number of each page. The display position of is determined (step 335).

Now, the character layout section 50 shown in FIG.
In the character layout process in (1), how many areas are necessary for the layout of characters in the plate area or the page heading / number area, that is, for filling is calculated. Then, the calculation result of how much area is required as the page heading / number area is returned to the document layout section 40, and the block size of each page heading / number area (paragraph) is calculated in step 334 of FIG. Be seen.

By the way, in Japanese processing, horizontal writing,
Considering vertical writing and rotation of characters, eight patterns are required as shown in FIG.

That is, the character rotation direction is 0 °, 90 °,
Since there are horizontal setting and vertical setting for 180 degrees and 270 degrees respectively, the character layout pattern in this case is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, there are 8 patterns of combinations.

Here, information about the Z direction as shown in FIG. 16 is introduced as a method for reducing the number of these combinations. This Z direction shows the direction of the letter Z drawn in the direction in which the line advances. When this Z direction is used, as shown in FIG. 17, the eight patterns shown in FIG.
It can be expressed by four pieces of information Z0, Z90, Z180, and Z270.

In the character layout process described below, the character layout process is performed using the Z direction.
