Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a table creation system that creates table information by inputting numerical values.

In the current printing system, when a manuscript is formatted and printed, a layout manuscript is created from the manuscript for printing, and an operator or the like enters the calculated layout data on a coding sheet while looking at this layout manuscript. is converted into input data to a computer using a paper tape puncher, and the kanji data is formatted and edited using an editing system, and then input to a phototypesetting machine.In this way, each input is input into the creation of a coding sheet for printing table type. Since the variable values are calculated by the operator using a calculator, etc., changes in one allocation data will affect other allocation data, and calculation errors and allocation errors cannot be detected until the galley is output, making it more accurate. There were drawbacks such as poor workability. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a table creation system that has high workability, high speed, and high reliability.

This invention will be explained below.

The present invention relates to a table creation system, which inputs specified manuscript values through numerical input on a keyboard, calculates variable values necessary for table creation, and displays input data and calculated values from the input data on a display device. The input data is checked (・obtained) by displaying the input data as a set, and the edited information of the allocated table is output to a storage medium such as a magnetic tape. In other words, as shown in FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a table creation system of the present invention. A keyboard 3 for inputting layout information is connected to the table creation machine 1, and the layout information processed by the table creation machine 1 is connected to the table creation machine 1. The cape is displayed on a display device #2 (character display, graphic display), and the displayed data is printed by a printer 4 and stored on a magnetic tape 5. is keyboard 3
According to the numerical data input from The speed and accuracy are improved, and tabular information is provided to the printer 4 and magnetic tape 5.

Data input using the keyboard 3 is performed using numerical values, including character points, character spacing, and 4! Document designation values such as the length of the r portion are input, and data correction work is also performed by inputting data on the board 3 while looking at the display device 2. The input numerical data is displayed on the character display of the display device 2, and the input data can be confirmed, so data input errors can be prevented. It is designed to be displayed on the graphic display of the display device 2.

Next, the processing method for creating a table layout will be explained, but before that, the form and name of the table layout will be explained with reference to FIG.

1) GK...Issuance of two starting points in the row direction Specify the interval between HG and SK in front of the outer frame of TAB with a point value.

However, in continuous and immersive TAE, regardless of the specified value,
0".

2) JK...Character direction starting point: Text nature) This is the distance between IG and SK in front of the outer frame of TAB, and the character direction starting point JK is based on the basic layout.

3) LK...Line spacing: Refers to horizontal ruled lines excluding outer frame ruled lines SK.

4) TK...Exclude SK between TAB lines and before the ruled frame (no vertical ruled lines).

5) LN...Line spacing The spacing between the line of the two main text TAB and the line interstitium LK. However, in the case of immersion, regardless of the specified value, the center of the immersion line of the main text line coincides with the center of the main text property HG of the basic layout, basic change layout, or basic outside layout.

6) TN: Interval, the space between TAB lines and the space at the beginning and end of a TAB sentence.

7) TL...η mountain length: interstitial space between outer border SK and TAB
.

TAB interstitial stroma and TAB interstitial interstitium, the interval between the TAB interstitial interstitium and the front 8 of the outer frame.

8) L'G...Line spacing: TA that becomes multiple lines
The space between the lines of B.

9) Item names of the contents of 2 are represented by the front head HH and front side H8 as shown in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 3, H1 to H3 each indicate the contents of the table. The space between tables is called "space."

Next, I will explain words related to table format.

a) Actual size frame: The actual size frame is based on the board size used (A4, B5
.

A5, etc.), and each label (all layouts related to tables such as basic layout, social layout, etc.) is allocated within the actual size frame, but it cannot exceed the actual size frame.

b) Basic layout: Refers to the layout for the basic document within the range of processing pages, and the size of this layout container is determined by initial value input and one-stage or multi-stage processing.

C) Allocation change processing 2 Within a page range or single page with a basic layout, it is possible to flow the main text into a different layout container for the same page as the basic layout. In this case, the basic layout is ignored and the layout is performed according to the layout format of the layout change process.

d) Manuscript variable: defines how the manuscript is to be flowed into the layout container defined in the basic layout and layout change processing, and the correspondence between the layout container and the manuscript.

e) Social: A manuscript in which the same content is repeated over multiple pages. Social activities cannot be assigned beyond the actual size limit.

f) Illustration text: Refers to a manuscript whose layout origin is given as a relative position to a blank space, and is used for headings when the position is fixed and for text layout when flowing onto a single page. The layout origin specifies the alignment reference point as the distance from the whitespace reference point, and the layout origin can also specify the outside of the whitespace.

g) Blank space: Blank space can be placed in a columnar allocation container, but not in an illustration text allocation or a social allocation. The area of one blank position is specified using the number of columns and the number of lines (one character), and blanks cannot be included in TAB.

h) Nonple (page number): Used for nonple (・The character type and decorations added to nonple can be selected from several types for both vertical and horizontal nonple. Assign.

i) Ruled Lines When creating a two-table set, lines are sometimes drawn at the outer frame or between sentences (these are called ruled lines).

The ruled lines can be placed anywhere within the actual size frame.

j) Sideline: Sideline is a line added to the left and right (for vertical type), top and bottom (for horizontal type) of lines in the range specified in the manuscript, and the output position of the sideline (between line and sideline). Specify the spacing), side line pattern, etc.

k) In table layouts, the title of the table is often included between the tables or before the start of the table. The title of this table is called a heading. For headings, the output position may be determined (fixed position) or the output position may be determined according to the flow of the text manuscript (position variable), and the heading processing selection specifies which process is to be performed. Headings cannot be allocated beyond the actual size frame.

Based on the above-mentioned matters regarding table creation, the present invention outputs the table-format information to a magnetic tape according to the processing flow shown in FIG.
Print out the evening data. That is, in accordance with the operation commands displayed on the character display of the display device 2, a numeric-related check is performed on the numeric data input from the keyboard 3 in the input subroutine 10, and the checked numeric data is temporarily stored in the input file 11. Along with
The form of the table is displayed on the graphic display 12. Then, subroutine 1 of label check (described later)
3 is executed, the state of the label check is similarly displayed on the graphic display 12, and after this data is stored in the save file 14, the data edited in the output editing section 15 is output to the printer 16 or magnetic tape 17. be done. The table data thus stored on the paper tape 16 and magnetic tape 17 serving as storage means is given to the computer, edited together with the character data from the magnetic tape 21, and stored as print data on the magnetic tape 22Ki for output. Ru. Then, the magnetic tape 22 on which the character data and table layout data have been edited and stored is provided to a phototypesetting device, where it is printed out as a table layout as a galley 24.

Next, calculation of the TAB interval will be explained. There are two cases in a normal table-type manuscript: ``TAB ruled line and interstitial space'', ``l'' designation of spaces at the beginning and end of the line of AB sentences, and ``l'', designation of spaces between AB sentences and TAB sentences. Therefore, a program is created to handle each case as a subroutine 10, and the subroutine 10 is called at any time to calculate the TAB interval.

Here, the basic form of calculation of the (g) small interval when a space at the beginning and end of a line in a TAB interlined interstitial AB sentence is specified will be explained using the example shown in FIG. That is, T, AB small interval 81
If T is the interval specified by the manuscript, ao=T.

Assuming that the initial value is , each TAB interval is a1=Ts +T2 aO a2e=T3+T4-al a3=Ts+T e a 2 ''n=Tgn-t +T2n-a=.Therefore, the general formula is an "T2n-1+T2n" becomes n-1. Note that an indicates the (n+1)th TAB interval. Also, if an(O occurs during calculation, an-1 is set as the initial value. , an-21"n-3...aO, then calculate with an as the initial value, and a
, a... is calculated.

n+1 n+2 Next, regarding the label related check subroutine 13,
The explanation will be made with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

First, it is checked whether the TAB fits into the assigned container or not as follows. That is, when the size of the allocated container set in the basic allocation or allocation change process exceeds the actual size frame, an overflow occurs. For example, as shown in Figure 6, when the size in the row direction of the basic layout 2 layout change process exceeds the actual size frame, the overflow area 3
It is set as 1. Also, to check within the range of manuscript variables,
If the document does not fit on the designated page of the assigned container, it is considered an overflow. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, overflow is defined as overflow in the minus direction of the character direction and overflow in the line direction. In other words, when the solid line 40 is defined as the (allocation container for basic allocation or allocation change processing), the outer frame 41 of the TAB may extend to the right. However, do not exceed the actual size limit. Note that overlaps with fixed spaces are not checked.

Further, the number of characters in the TAB set is determined by the specification of the service, regardless of the number of characters in the basic layout, in the case of only Shida group data.

On the other hand, the detailed processing flow of this invention is shown in FIG.
