SOLUTION: When the character and the line width value of the character are inputted from an input means 101, outline information corresponding to the inputted character is read out from an outline information memory means 102, and the number of strokes of the character are counted from the outline information by a number of strokes count means 104, and the line width value of the inputted character is adjusted by a line width adjustment means 105 according to the number of counted strokes. Then, the line width value of the character in the outline information read out from the outline information memory means 102 is revised by a line width revision means 106 by referring to the line width value of the character adjusted by the line width value adjustment means 105, and the font pattern of the character is generated from the revised line width value and outputted. Thus, since the processor is constituted so that the line width value of the character is inputted, a thick letter and a thin letter are set optionally.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus that has a character pattern as outline font data and automatically creates easy-to-read characters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a document processing apparatus of this type,
The one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-195096 is known. In this case, the size of characters such as characters and symbols stored in the memory in the X and Y directions and the enlargement / reduction ratio in the X and Y directions are used to obtain information based on the line width table as shown in FIG. The line width of a character such as a character or a symbol is changed according to the selected line width.

This method will be specifically described. For example, 1
When the character “O” of 00 × 100 is multiplied by 0.2 in the X direction and 0.2 in the Y direction, the reduction ratio × the character size becomes 20, and the line width 1 is selected from the table of FIG. Figure 24
The result as shown in FIG.

In addition, the 100 × 100 character "Ki" is changed to X.
If the ratio is 0.5 times in the Y direction and 0.5 times in the Y direction, the reduction ratio x the character size becomes 50, and the line width 3 from the table in FIG.
Is selected, and the result as shown in FIG. 24 (b) is obtained. Similarly, in the case of the 100 × 100 character “”, X
If the ratio is 0.2 times in the Y direction and 0.2 times in the Y direction, the reduction ratio x the character size becomes 20, and the line width 1 from the table in FIG.
Is selected, and the result as shown in FIG. 25 (a) is obtained.

In addition, the 100 × 100 character “” is written as X
If the ratio is 0.5 times in the Y direction and 0.5 times in the Y direction, the reduction ratio x the character size becomes 50, and the line width 3 from the table in FIG.
Is selected, and the result as shown in FIG. 25 (b) is obtained. As described above, in the conventional document processing apparatus, the line width of a character is changed according to the size of the original character or symbol and the enlargement / reduction ratio.

[0006]

However, this method does not consider that characters such as characters and symbols have various stroke numbers. That is, characters such as characters and symbols, especially Chinese characters, have various stroke numbers, and range from 1 stroke to 30 strokes or more. If the characters of 1 stroke and the characters of 30 strokes have the same line width, when the characters of 1 stroke and the characters of 30 strokes are lined up, the character of 30 strokes becomes a darker impression than the characters of 1 stroke and becomes black. It becomes unsightly. And, this difference in impression makes it difficult to read the entire character.

Characters having a large number of strokes are crushed due to the size reduction. For example, in the case of the characters "ki" and "ki", as shown in FIG. 24 (b) and FIG. 25 (b), "ki" with a large number of strokes gives a darker impression, and "ki" and "ki". When arranging "," it becomes difficult to read.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and a line width value suitable for a character is set according to the number of strokes of the character, and the line width value is changed,
(EN) Provided is a document processing device which alleviates the impression of dark characters that are crowded and creates characters such as easy-to-read characters and symbols.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor. In this figure, 1 is a keyboard as input means, 2 is C

Line width value comparison unit 25 for comparing with
And a line width value changing unit 26 for changing the line width value.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the stored contents of the main memory 5, and as shown in this figure, the main memory 5 stores a calculation line for storing the line width value calculated by the line width value calculation unit 23. It has a width value storage unit 51.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the stored contents of the auxiliary memory 6, and as shown in this figure, the auxiliary memory 6
Has an outline font data storage unit 61, a stroke number rank table storage unit 62, and a line width value table storage unit 63 corresponding to the stroke number rank.

As shown in FIG. 5, the outline font data storage unit 61 stores outline font data of characters corresponding to the typeface in advance. That is, the character outline data is stored for each typeface code and division code.

[0026] For example, the typeface is a Gothic Kanji character "I".
If so, as the typeface code G and the ward code 2442,
Character contour data is stored. This contour line data includes the contour point numbers of the contour points that form the contour line of the character,
On the character virtual box defined as 10000 × 10000 mesh, XY coordinate value information with the lower left as the origin is provided.

In the stroke number rank table storage unit 62, FIG.
As shown in, the stroke number ranks in which the stroke numbers of characters and symbols are ranked from A to G are stored. This stroke number rank is ranked for each stroke number range.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the line width value table storage unit 63 corresponding to the stroke number rank stores a line width adjustment value for adjusting the line width of a character according to the stroke number rank. There is. That is, the line width adjustment value is provided for each typeface code, and the vertical line width adjustment value is stored as the vertical line width value and the horizontal line width adjustment value is stored as the horizontal line width value for each stroke rank. Here, the vertical line width value and the horizontal line width value indicated by a are line width values input from the keyboard 1 and serve as a reference line width value for obtaining a line width value suitable for a character. The reference line width value is arbitrarily determined by the user.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the processing operation of the CPU 2. The operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to this flow chart. In the description of this embodiment, the outline of the outline font data is defined in the clockwise (clockwise) direction for the outer outline and in the counterclockwise (counterclockwise) direction for the inner outline.

Hereinafter, the case where the line width value of the character "I" having the character code of the division code 2442 is changed will be described as an example. First, from the keyboard 1, a Gothic typeface code G, a punctuation mark code 2442 for the character "I", and a line width value 800 as a reference for obtaining a line width value suitable for the character "I" are input ( Step S1).

The reference line width value is a value assigned to the vertical line width value and the horizontal line width value a in the line width value table storage unit 63. That is, the reference line width value, that is, the value of a is adjusted to a line width value according to the stroke number rank by the value stored in the line width value table storage unit 63 later. The input typeface code G, the division mark code 2442, and the reference line width value 800 are the data reading unit 21 of the CPU 2.
(Step S2).

Next, the data reading section 21 of the CPU 2
Then, according to the typeface code G and the division point code 2442, the outline font data corresponding to the division point code 2442 with the typeface code G is read from the outline font data storage unit 61 of the auxiliary memory 6 (step S).
3).

The outline font data of the character "self" read by the data reading unit 21 of the CPU 2 is transferred to the stroke number counting unit 22 of the CPU 2 (step S4).

Here, the stroke number counting unit 22 counts the stroke number of the character “K” and reads the stroke number rank corresponding to the stroke number from the stroke number rank table storage unit 62. The line width value suitable for a character is determined by the number of strokes because the more the number of strokes, the darker the impression of a character becomes, and the more it becomes black and unsightly, the more it is necessary to adjust the number of strokes.

Here, the number of strokes is not the number of strokes taken as one stroke, but the number of strokes taken as one stroke. For example, in the case of the character “mouth”, as shown in FIG. 10A, if the stroke of the brush is counted as one stroke, it becomes three strokes.
As shown in (b), it is 4 when counted as one stroke when bent.
It becomes a picture.

As shown in FIG. 11, the character "Ki" is counted as one stroke when the bending is recognized by using the Y coordinate values from the outer contour point number 1 to the outer contour point number 6. If contour point number 1 is rightward, one stroke is counted because contour point number 2 shows downward bending, and contour point number 3 shows leftward bending, so one image is counted, and contour point number 4 In B, downward bending is recognized, so 1 stroke is counted, in contour point number 5, right bending is recognized, 1 stroke is counted, and at contour point number 6, upward bending is counted, and 1 stroke is counted. As a result, 6 times of bending were recognized, and the number of strokes was 6. This counted 6
In accordance with the image, the image number rank B corresponding to the 6 images is read from the image number rank table storage unit 62 of the auxiliary memory 6 (step S5).

Next, according to the typeface code G of the outline font data read by the data reading section 21 and the read stroke number rank B, the typeface code G is obtained from the line width value table storage section 63 of the auxiliary memory 6. Stroke rank B
The vertical line width value 1.1 × a and the horizontal line width value a corresponding to are read (step S6).

The line width value table storage unit 63 corresponding to the stroke number rank of the CPU 2 has a line width value table for each typeface code. For example, a typeface whose vertical line width is slightly thicker than the horizontal line width is used as shown in FIG.
The table is set so that the relationship between the vertical line width value and the horizontal line width value is not lost no matter what value is substituted into. Further, for example, in a typeface with a design in which the horizontal line width is extremely narrower than the vertical line width such as Mincho type, the horizontal line width becomes thin no matter what value is substituted for a, as shown in FIG. The table is set.

Since the character "I" has a typeface code of G, the vertical linewidth value and the vertical linewidth value corresponding to the B rank of the corresponding typeface code G in the linewidth value table are read. The read line width value is transferred to the line width value calculation unit 23 of the CPU 2 (step S7).

In the line width value calculation unit 23 of the CPU 2, the reference line width value 800 is read out from the line width value table storage unit 63 and the vertical line width value 1.1 × a and the horizontal line width value a are expressed by a. Substitute in and perform the operation. In this example, since a is 800, the vertical line width value is 1.1 × a = 880, and the horizontal line width value is a.
= 800, the vertical line width value 880 and the horizontal line width value 800 are obtained (step S8). Obtained vertical line width value 88
0 and the horizontal line width value 800 are temporarily stored in the calculated line width value storage unit 51 of the main memory 5 (step S9).

On the other hand, the outline font data of the character "self" read by the data reading unit 21 of the CPU 2 is transferred to the line width value measuring unit 24 of the CPU 2 (step S10).

The line width value measuring unit 24 of the CPU 2 measures the line width value of the character "self" from the transferred outline font data of the character "self" (step S1).
1). The measurement of the line width value is performed using the outline points of the outline font data and their coordinates.

For example, in the case of measuring the vertical line width value of the character "Ki", as shown in FIG. 12, the outline point number 2 and the outline point number 2 in which the X coordinate values match from the outline line of the outline font data. A difference L1 between the X coordinate values of the X coordinate value 9500 of the contour point number 3 and the X coordinate values 8600 of the contour point number 12 and the contour point number 13 which are continuous in the upward direction and have the same X coordinate value.
= 900 is regarded as the vertical line width value.

When measuring the horizontal line width value, FIG.
As shown in, the Y coordinate values 9500 of the contour point number 1 and the contour point number 2 that continue to the right and have the same Y coordinate value, and the contour point number 13 and the contour point number 14 that continue to the left and have the same Y coordinate value. Difference between the Y coordinate value of 8720 and the Y coordinate value of L2 = 7
Consider 80 as the horizontal line width value. Line width value measuring unit 24 of CPU 2
The line width value measured in step S4 is transferred to the line width value comparison unit 25 of the CPU 2 (step S12).

Next, in step S9, the vertical line width value 880 and the horizontal line width value 800, which are stored in the calculated line width value storage unit 51 of the main memory 5 and correspond to the stroke number rank, are the line width value comparison unit 25 of the CPU 2. (Step S13).

The line width value comparison unit 25 of the CPU 2 compares the measured line width value with the line width value according to the stroke number rank for each vertical line and horizontal line. That is, the vertical line width value 900 measured by the line width value measuring unit 24 and the vertical line width value 88 corresponding to the stroke rank
0 is compared, and similarly, the line width value measuring unit 24
The horizontal line width value 780 measured in step S1 and the horizontal line width value 800 corresponding to the stroke number rank are compared (step S1).
4).

Here, assuming that the measured vertical line width value and horizontal line width value are measurement values "A" and the vertical line width value and horizontal line width value corresponding to the stroke number rank are rank values "B", first, A = B is compared. Vertical line width value and horizontal line width value are both A = B
If so, the line width value need not be changed, and the outline font data of the line width value measuring unit 24 of the CPU 2 is transferred to the bitmap memory 3.

However, if either the vertical line width value or the horizontal line width value is A ≠ B, it is necessary to change the measured value A. In the example of the character “K”, the vertical line width value is A ≠ B. That is, the measured value A is 900 and the rank value B is 880.
Therefore, A> B, and the vertical line width value difference is 900-880 = 20. Also, the horizontal line width value is A ≠ B. That is, the measured value A is 780 and the rank value B is 80.
Since 0, A <B and 780−800 = −20
The horizontal line width value difference is. The vertical line width value difference 20 and the horizontal line width value difference −20 are transferred to the line width value changing unit 26 of the CPU 2 (step S15).

In the line width value changing section 26 of the CPU 2, the outline font data of the character "Ki"
The vertical line width value and the horizontal line width value are changed according to the vertical line width value difference 20 and the horizontal line width value difference −20 obtained by the line width value comparison unit 25 of No. 2 (step S16).

In the case of changing the vertical line width value, first, two points which are consecutive in the downward direction and have the same X coordinate value are detected in the outline of the outline font data. Next, two points which are continuous in the upward direction and have the same X coordinate value are detected. Regarding the detected contour points, the contour points detected downward are moved to the right side when the line width value difference is minus, and to the left side when the line width value difference is plus, thereby changing the vertical line width value. Further, the contour points detected in the upward direction are moved to the left side when the line width value difference is minus, and to the right side when the line width value difference is plus, thereby changing the vertical line width value.

The amount of movement at this time is such that the left and right displacement amounts are the vertical line width value difference and the horizontal line width value difference, respectively. For example, if you want to change the vertical line width value of the character "Ki",
As shown in FIG. 14, from the outline of the outline font data, the outline point number 2 and the outline point number 3, the outline point number 4 and the outline point number 5, the outline point number 8 and the outline point number 9 are continuous downward. Then, two points having the same X coordinate value are detected. The detected contour point moves to the left in the X coordinate value by a value 10 obtained by dividing the vertical line width value difference 20 into two equal parts.

The character "Ki" after the movement is shown in FIG. For the contour point number 2 and the contour point number 3, the X coordinate value before movement is 950.
At 0, 9500-10 = 9490 becomes the X coordinate value after movement. The contour point number 4 and the contour point number 5 have the X coordinate value before the movement of 1300, and 1300-10 = 1290 becomes the X coordinate value after the movement. The contour point number 8 and the contour point number 9 have an X coordinate value of 10000 before movement and 10000-10 = 99.
90 is the X coordinate value after movement.

Next, as shown in FIG. 16, contour point number 6
And contour point number 7, contour point number 10 and contour point number 11, contour point number 12 and contour point number 13, contour point number 1 and contour point number 14, and two points where the X coordinate values are continuous in the upward direction. To detect. The detected contour point moves in the right direction by a value 10, which is obtained by dividing the vertical line width value difference 20 into two, with respect to the X coordinate value.

The character "Ki" after the movement is shown in FIG. For the contour point number 6 and the contour point number 7, the X coordinate value before movement is 910.
At 0, 9100 + 10 = 9110 is the X coordinate value after movement. Contour point number 10 and contour point number 13 are X points before movement.
The coordinate value is 400, and 400 + 10 = 410 is the X after the movement.
It becomes a coordinate value. For the contour point number 12 and the contour point number 13, the X coordinate value before movement is 8600, and 8600 + 10 = 861.
0 is the X coordinate value after the movement. For the contour point number 1 and the contour point number 4, the X coordinate value before movement is 0, and 0 + 10 = 10 is the X coordinate value after movement.

Further, in the case of changing the horizontal line width value, first, two points which are continuous rightward and have the same X coordinate value are detected in the outline of the outline font data. Next, X continuously to the left
Two points with the same coordinate value are detected. With respect to the detected contour points, the contour points detected in the right direction are moved upward when the line width value difference is negative and downward when the line width value difference is positive, thereby changing the horizontal line width value. Further, the contour point detected in the leftward direction is moved downward when the line width value difference is negative, and is moved upward when the line width value difference is positive, thereby changing the horizontal line width value.

For example, when changing the horizontal line width value of the character "self", as shown in FIG. 18, from the outline of the outline font data of the character "self", contour point number 1 and contour point number 2, Point number 5, contour point number 6, contour point number 11
And the contour point number 12, which are continuous to the right and have the same Y coordinate value, are detected.

The detected contour point moves about the Y coordinate value, in which the horizontal line width value difference moves upward by a value of 10 obtained by dividing 20 in half. Then, as shown in FIG. 19, contour point number 1
And contour point number 2, the Y coordinate value before movement is 9500,
500 + 10 = 9510 is the Y coordinate value after movement. For the contour point number 5 and the contour point number 6, the Y coordinate value before movement is 12
At 80, 1280 + 10 = 1290 becomes the Y coordinate value after movement. For the contour point number 11 and the contour point number 12, the Y coordinate value before movement is 5680, and 5680 + 10 = 5690 is the Y coordinate value after movement.

Next, as shown in FIG. 20, contour point number 3
The contour point number 4, the contour point number 9 and the contour point number 10, and the contour point number 13 and the contour point number 14 are detected to be two points that are continuous in the leftward direction and have the same Y coordinate value. Regarding the detected contour point, the horizontal line width difference between the Y coordinate values is −20, which is negative, so the contour point is moved downward by a value of 10 divided into two equal parts.

FIG. 21 shows the character "Ki" after the movement. Contour point number 3 and contour point number 4 have a Y coordinate value of 490 before movement.
At 0, 4900-10 = 4890 becomes the Y coordinate value after movement. The contour point number 9 and the contour point number 10 have a Y coordinate value before movement of 500, and 500-10 = 490 is a Y coordinate value after movement. Regarding the contour point number 13 and the contour point number 14, the Y coordinate value before movement is 8720, and 8720-10 = 8710.
Is the Y coordinate value after movement. As a result, the X coordinate value and the Y coordinate value move, and the vertical line width value and the horizontal line width value are changed as shown in FIG.

After that, the outline font data of the character "my" whose line width value has been changed is transferred to the bitmap memory 3, and the character creation processing is completed by this point (step S17). The outline font data of the character “I” transferred to the bitmap memory 3 is expanded into bitmap data and then printed by the printer 4.

In this way, the line width value of a character is adjusted according to the number of strokes of the character, and the line width value is changed, thereby mitigating the impression of dark characters mixed with many strokes and creating a legible character. can do.

In the present embodiment, the change of the line width value of the character has been described, but the present invention can be applied not only to the change of the character but also to the change of the line width value of a symbol, a code and the like.

[0063]

According to the present invention, since the line width value of a character is input, it is possible to create a thick character or a thin character from a character having a basic line width value. It is possible to deal with. Further, it is possible to reduce the difference in the intense impression between a character having a large number of strokes and a character having a small number of strokes in one typeface, and it is possible to create characters such as easy-to-read characters and symbols.

When the number of strokes of a character is counted using the bending of the contour points of the character as a unit, the number of strokes for determining the line width value of the character can be automatically counted by a unique method, so that the number of strokes can be counted. As for characters and symbols, it is possible to support not only Japanese but also characters in various languages.

When the line width adjustment value is set for each typeface, different linewidth adjustment values can be applied for each typeface, so the linewidth value of a character can be changed without damaging the image of each typeface. It becomes possible to do.
