Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize speedy, good-performance designing by combining a character crowding scale and a line change scale which are graduated in well readable states for character crowding and line changing with each other on both sides. CONSTITUTION:A lateral one-stage group scale 11 which have combined character crowding and line change graduations suitable for the designing of a plate surface is graduated on scales 12 and 13 with the feed numbers of teeth of photocomposition while readability when character size is a class ''13'' is considered. The feed number of teeth of the character crowding scale 12 is 13 and the feed number of teeth of the line change scale 13 is 26, constituting a lateral one-stage group scale of standard composition which has an em-dash line interval. A lateral two-stage group scale 14 for the designing of a well readable plate surface has a class-''13'' character size. A scale 15 of 13-tooth line feed and a scale 16 of 20-tooth line feed constitute a lateral two-stage group scale of standard composition having an about en-dash line interval. Detailed allocation is started after the outline specification of the plate surface is determined, and those scales are used for this allocation.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an editorial design scale (editorial design ruler) used to design character strings and line spacing on a printing plate when typesetting printed matter related to a computer. .

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as this type of scale (ruler), those shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are known. Figure 1 shows a conventional phototypesetting series printed on transparent film.
Figure 2 shows a conventional phototypesetting tooth feed chart also printed on a transparent film, and Figure 3 shows a pitch chart for a conventional tie writer also printed on a transparent film. It was being used.

In the phototypesetting series shown in Figure 1, the vertical column indicated by l is a series representing the font size, with 0.23 mm being the first grade, and i
O class corresponds to 25U. 2 is a character frame with a size corresponding to the series l, and this character frame 2 is a character frame 2 that is arranged horizontally in a solid set (a method of composing characters with no gaps between characters). In the phototypesetting tooth feed table in Figure 2, the vertical column indicated by 3 is the number of tooth feeds, and the distance between the arrows l and g that are adjacent to each other on the left and right is the number of tooth feeds.

Corresponding to No. 3, evenly spaced arrows are displayed in a row horizontally for the same number of tooth feeds, 3. In the pitch table for the tie lighter in Fig. 3, j is called the horizontal pitch table,
This determines the pitch of the horizontal character feed of the Tiglighter. 6 indicates the pitch number, and 7 indicates the scale graduated at equal intervals. The interval between adjacent lines of this scale 7 and the scarlet is the pitch number 6. corresponds to Ir is called the vertical pitch table, and it determines the pitch of the vertical direction of the tiger writer. 9 indicates the number of pitches, 10 indicates the scale, and the interval between adjacent lines of this scale 10 is , corresponds to the pitch number 9, similar to the relationship between the pitch number 6 and the scale 7 described above.

Next, a description will be given of how to use what is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 above. For typesetting and splitting, it is necessary to determine the size of the hanban and characters, the length of the font and line spacing, and the total number of characters in the hanban. In order to perform these tasks,
The scale shown in Figures 3 to 3 is used.

The character frame 2 shown in figure 2 is for determining the series l for phototypesetting.The series l of the character is determined according to the character frame 2, and the horizontal rows of the character frame 2 are used to determine the series l for the series l. It is designed to count the number of strings. In the one shown in Figure 2, the photo + V< letter spacing (character spacing), line spacing (
A tooth feed table is used to check and determine the line spacing (line spacing).The spacing between arrow d and arrow l on this tooth feed table is the tooth feed number 3 of the phototypesetting machine, and the predetermined character spacing is used. and phototypesetting (hereinafter referred to as phototypesetting) according to the number of gears between lines (3)
will be carried out. Then, the number of characters in one line and the number of lines on the printing plate are determined using the above-mentioned gear table, and the number of characters in the printing plate is calculated. The one shown in Fig. 3 uses a pitch table that determines the nine-line spacing between characters for one tie writer, and the horizontal pitch table 5
The character spacing and line spacing are determined using the vertical pitch table t, and the printing plate is designed based on this. Horizontal and vertical pitch charts.

Count the 7.10 marks on each scale of t, determine the number of 9 lines in one line on the printing plate, and calculate the number of characters on the printing plate.

Since the conventional scale described above is constructed as described above, many series l are printed on a transparent film.

Number of tooth feeds: 3. Since the pitch number 6.9 is printed all at once, these transparent films are overlaid on top of the printed character strings to determine the size and spacing of the characters.

It is easy to check the line spacing, but unlike commonly used scales (such as rulers), this scale allows you to determine arbitrary series l, tooth feed number 3, and pitch number 6. , - It is not possible to directly mark the scale for specific positioning for printing plate design or to mark one line of inscription, so in order to set the position or mark the scale, - the position read from the tank's scale or There was a troublesome drawback that it was necessary to record the dimensions of the scale.Also, it was necessary to use another scale (for example, a metric scale) and then position and mark the scale on the scale according to the memorized dimensions. Therefore, there were drawbacks such as the time and effort required to design the printing plate.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional ones. It has a structure that combines a filling scale and a leading scale with markings for filling and leading, which are suitable for the printing process (ability), making it possible to quickly and accurately design the printing plate directly. The aim is to provide editorial design scale.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figures (a) to (c) are respectively editorial design scale plan views that are applied to the designs of various printing plates according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Figure (a), // is a single horizontal column (letter

The 13-tooth scale is the same as the 2-digit scale, and the 16 is a 20-tooth leading scale, and each scale/3. The /A relationship has a standard formatting scale of two horizontal columns with a 2-minute space between lines (line spacing -em). Each scale // and /
If the l is combined on the front and back to form a single scale, it becomes the standard editorial design scale of 1 horizontal column and 2 horizontal columns for letter 73 grade.

Figure q (in 11, /7., ZO is the 0 scale which is the scale corresponding to each scale shown in Figure ψ (a) when the font size is 73 grade (No. 3) //, /Hiroshi) /7 is for one horizontal row, and the relationship between the number of tooth feeds for each scale / tooth and /9 is as follows: /j tooth of scale l, /j tooth of scale /q,
? It constitutes a standard typesetting scale with O teeth and full-width space between lines.

Scale 2.0 is for horizontal 2 columns, each scale 2/, 2
The relationship between the number of tooth feeds in 2 is that scale 21 is the same as scale l (tS teeth, scale, U are sword teeth, and constitute a standard typesetting scale with 2 minutes space between lines.Each scale 17
and 2.0 are formed into a single scale in the same manner as the above-mentioned scales // and /Q, it becomes a standard design scale of one horizontal column and two horizontal columns for the 13th grade character. The above scales ii, ia and /7°20 all constitute the editorial design scale of phototypesetting characters.

In Figure DA (C), 23.21. is a pitch chart for single-line spacing used for typesetting characters on ordinary typewriters. In this case, the number of feeds equivalent to the number of tooth feeds in phototypesetting is expressed as so-and-so in horizontal pitch and so-and-so in vertical pitch,
The physical length of the same number of pitches is different for horizontal pitch and vertical pitch.
The scale 3 of the line leading (vertical pitch) is set to 7.5 pitches (full-width space between the lines), and the line lead (vertical pitch) is set to 7.5 pitches (full-width space between lines), and the line lead (vertical pitch) is set to 7.5 pitches (full-width space between lines). It constitutes a standard typesetting scale with one horizontal column.

In the case of TieGlaita typeface tabo horizontal two-column set, the scale 27 of the jizume (horizontal pitch) is the Hiro pitch, and the scale 2g of the line feed (vertical pitch) is! , 5 pitches, and a scale 2 pitch similar to the scale 23 described above, it is possible to construct a standard typesetting scale with 2 minutes space between lines (line spacing -iem) and 2 columns of tabs horizontally. And each of the above two scales 23. If you combine the front and back sides to form one scale, type 9

Next, how to use the editorial design scale shown in FIGS.

When making typesetting and layout, first consider the margins of the paper and decide on the approximate size of the print. Next, determine the font size of the main text, the number of nine-column sets (l or 2 in this case), the type and size of heading characters, and the number of characters, font spacing, and number of lines to be placed on one sheet of paper. Once the rough specifications of the printing plate have been determined in this way, the detailed layout described below begins. This, 41J
Editorial Buzzer 4 No Scale is used for the work. We will explain how to use the editorial design scale by taking as an example the case of allocating a column of tA of character 75 grade and a two-column horizontal column of character 73 grade on one printing plate.

First, count the number of characters in the manuscript to be set in one horizontal column, and use scale 1.
The number of characters in the width of the printing plate is determined by the scale ig in 7. By dividing the number of characters in the manuscript by this number of characters, the necessary number of lines in one horizontal column can be found, and the scale iq in the scale 17 is used to scale the necessary number of lines in the printing plate.

Next, count the number of characters in the manuscript to be set in two horizontal columns, and scale 1.
4! The scale is is used to determine the number of characters within the width of the plate and the space between columns (usually, the number of characters is 1 to 3).

Calculate the required number of lines by dividing the number of characters in the manuscript by the number of characters in two horizontal columns. Then, the 1 that was previously graduated on the scale/q
The number of rows in the column is followed by the scale/in scale/l.
6 is used to scale the number of lines in the two-column set. Based on the length of the top and bottom of the hanmen, the main text is 1 column (character is class) and 92 columns (character 13
Subtracting the sum of the lengths of the lines in the hanmen becomes the space between the top and the bottom of the hanmen. If a heading is to be inserted here, the line spacing is taken into account by looking at the balance of the entire page of one printing plate, and the scales 17 and the slag are used again to reallocate the page including the heading. In addition, if figures and tables can be placed in the main text, convert the size of the figures and tables into the number of characters and lines, and use both scales 17 and slag to place them within the plate, and use the remaining margins. Allocate characters in one horizontal column or two horizontal columns. At this time as well, scales are drawn directly into the printing plate using both scales /7 and A to design the entire printing plate.

In addition, in the above example, the editorial design scale was shown taking as an example the 73rd grade (Wabo) and 73rd grade (No. 5) of phototypesetting (or typesetting) which are particularly frequently used. Level 10 (7 points) of commonly used phototypesetting (or typesetting).

For grade 12 (zabo), lg grade (10bo), grade 9 (/11.po, q), etc., we have prepared editorial design scales with full-width and 2-minute spacing between lines for solid typesetting. As described above, according to the editorial design scale according to the present invention, it is possible to easily design and layout a single typeface of most characters. For phototypesetting and typesetting, which are frequently used, the system has a structure in which each scale of indentation and leading is combined on both sides of a single scale. As a result, even those who are unskilled in editorial design can design various types of printing plates extremely quickly and skillfully, and also have excellent effects in that they can design fonts and line spacing with great accuracy. It is.
