Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a short space composition processing device requiring lesser amount of memory and capable of performing quick and exact short space composition by using a system in which letters are grouped into letter patterns, and shortening the space of letters are determined by the letter patterns. CONSTITUTION:Letters are grouped into letter patterns according to the shapes of letters, and information on the shortening space of preceding letters and following letters is set up according to the internal codes of letters and also according to the patterns of preceding letters and following letters lead out of a pattern table 8 in which information on grouped letter patterns is set up by a space setting table 12. From the pattern table 8, information on letter patterns is extracted by a letter pattern extracting section 7, and on the basis of extracted results on the preceding and following letters, the space length is read out of the space setting table 12 by a space length determination section 11. Compiling processing of short space composition is made.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention makes it possible to automate so-called nail typesetting in a typesetting processing device used in a printing device, etc. Tsumetsume typesetting processing device K
pA.

(2) Technological aims and problems In general typesetting, 2. Usually, 1 square 1 c of fixed size is used.
Peta silk, which incorporates letters one by one, is often used.2
The length of the print does not vary depending on the type of character. However, such typesetting.

Depending on the shape of the letters, unnecessary spaces may be inserted between two letters, resulting in an unnatural overall shape. For example, when typesetting text for catalogs and advertising media, it is undesirable to have unnatural spaces, so so-called tsumetsume-gumi is used to fill in the space between each character by taking into account the bite of the characters. It is used.

FIG. 1 shows an explanatory diagram of the claw assembly. In general solid writing, as shown in Figure 1, a fixed size area is allocated for each character. The total length of the print is determined by the number of characters. Figure 1 (b) shows the horizontal claw assembly, Figure 1 (
C) shows the vertical claw lacing.

In contrast to the solid type [7, the S stand of the claw type as shown in Figure 1 (b) and (c) has the shape of each letter K *> IJ l~
Then, fill in the blank space between adjacent characters (j:k in the form of
i', the meeting is carried out. In the figure, d represents the spacing between characters. Tsumetsume, sr+mi ni ni 1 Being able to make effective use of limited space, such as advertising text attached to electronic mold hanging skins 2 Being able to put the entire string of letters into a natural shape 1 Being able to see a group of letters as a group Although it has the advantage of being able to be edited, editing is not easy.

Conventionally, when performing tsumetsume composing, it was necessary to consider 1 to 91 characteristics of adjacent characters, and designers and editors determined the spacing between each character based on their experience and intuition. This not only requires a lot of effort, but also takes a lot of time, resulting in a lot of waste, especially when speed is needed, such as when editing copy text.

(3) [Objective 1 and Structure of the Invention] The present invention solves the problems of f-8L' by using a convenience store's raft store or furniture.

Make it possible to make Tsumetsume typesetting into your own, speed up the typesetting, and make l\<11;i! Are you trying to reduce waste through ll'i K? :7 is 1". However, the second typesetting device of the present invention is a two-character typesetting device that converts two characters into a character pattern using the JF of the character.

A pattern table in which the internal code records of characters are classified into one category, and the N-shaped pattern 47j Sachi IJ is set.
A character tj'i table in which information on the spacing between the preceding character and the succeeding character is set corresponding to the character pattern of the preceding character and the character pattern of the succeeding character that are protruded from the pattern table. and a character pattern extracting section that extracts the character pattern information from the pattern table based on the two-character internal code, and based on the extraction results of the preceding character and the following character by the character pattern extracting section, The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a character-filling interval determination section that reads the character-filling interval from the character-filling table, and performs the process of collecting the characters of the nail-tsume combination. The following will be discussed according to embodiments with reference to the drawings.

A processing explanatory diagram is shown.

In the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG.

Characters such as kanji, kana, alphabets, numbers, etc.

The characters are classified in advance into several types of predetermined character patterns depending on the shape of the ax, and are stored as a pattern table inside the processing device, as will be described later. As shown in FIG. 2(a), one character 1a is classified into character pattern 2a. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the two characters 1b and 1c have similar shapes depending on the positions occupied by the line segments of the two characters, so they are classified into the same character pattern 21]. In addition, one character pattern -
The shaded part in the figure represents the meat part of one character.1. White areas indicate empty spaces. By preliminarily classifying each character into patterns 17 in this way, the spacing between letters 1b and 18, for example, can be divided into 1-sentence size pattern 2b and 1-sentence pattern 2a as shown in Figure S2 (C). When determined by and, and can be obtained.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a character pattern to be classified as a name character. As in FIG. 2, the diagonally shaded portion d1 of the two-character pattern shows the flesh portion of the character, and the white portion 17 indicates the empty space. Character pattern t”1

The execution control unit 4 fetches and executes commands, for example, and controls the entire Tsumetsume typesetting processing apparatus. Character input section 51-1: From an input device such as a keyboard (not shown) or a storage device of the input section.

This is for entering the characters to be edited. input character υ
For example, each character is represented by an internal code using a four-digit hexadecimal number, and stored in the internal code buffer 6.

The character pattern extraction unit 7 extracts the internal code of the target character from the internal code buffer 6 under the control of the flint control unit 4, and extracts the MV of the internal code of the target character from the )2 turn table 8. Extract the character pattern. Putter =
In the reference table 8, the identification number of the character pattern corresponding to the internal code is stored in a relative address generated from a 4-digit hexadecimal code, that is, a 2-byte internal code. (The character pattern identification number extracted from the turntable 8 is set in the subsequent character pattern register 9.The contents of the subsequent character pattern register 9 are changed to the preceding character pattern when the first character is input.) register 1
Transferred to 0.

The character spacing determining unit 11 stores the preceding character pattern register 10 and the succeeding character pattern register 1? Based on the contents of , the spacing between characters in the double-character filling table 12 is read out. Character 6, ', Me table 12 corresponds to the character pattern of the preceding character and the character pattern of the succeeding character.

The spacing information between those characters is stored. Note that [[J] full indicates that no character filling is performed. Letter M7i Daple 121-j2. Yoshitabetsu,
They are provided for each character size for each tj4 set/relaxation. Table 12 with terrible characters, phase number l! By preparing fI types and using them properly, it becomes possible to process, for example, characters with large points and narrow width.

Note that instead of using a plurality of padding tables 12, standard value calculation may be performed using predetermined coefficients.

When the character spacing is determined, the 2 editing processing unit 15 is called. The editing processing section 15 edits the dot matrix obtained by the two-character internal code onto one editing area 14 by determining the feed pitch width in consideration of the spacing between individual characters. The contents of this editing area 14 are outputted by the printing section 15 to a printer 2, for example, a Japanese language printer 16.

-The pattern daple written in 82-character daple 12 is 1
It may be held as a table in the main memory device a of the divider, or it may be incorporated as firmware in a character generator (CG) that generates a printed dot matrix from internal codes of characters, for example. It's okay.

Next, an example of processing according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, symbols 5, 6, 8, 12°, 14. j
6 corresponds to 2 in FIG. For example, when the character j-OJ is input from the character input section 5, the internal code "(A3CF)+s" of two characters "0" is stored in the internal code buffer 6. This internal code (A3CF)+s is also stored. According to the above addressing, the pattern table 8 is referred to and a pattern (P5) of two characters "0" is extracted.

This character Batabe P5) becomes the character pattern of the preceding character. Next, when the character rAJ is input from the single character input section 5, the internal code (A3C1)+s of the two characters "A" is stored in the internal code buffer 6. As in the case of the character "0", by addressing based on the internal code (A, 3C1) u, the pattern daple 8 is referred to and the character pattern (Pl) of the two characters rAJ is extracted.

Advance delivery: The character pattern (P3) of l-OJ is the fifth
In the case shown in the figure, the horizontal row of table 12 is J.
Gee.

The character pattern (Pl) of the subsequent character FA-1 determines the salary. The spacing between two characters "0" and "A" will be 2 as 1 FRnf+r-IJ or 4.

The print dot pattern determined by the internal code and fill spacing value is not yet set.2 Japanese printer 16
is output to. When one character is packed into a line using the character filling interval value, the pitch width of the feed is set to be less than the width of one character, so that Tsutsutsume-kumi is realized. Note that if further characters follow the two characters r' OJ 1rAJ, the one character rAJ will be treated as the preceding character,
The new character is processed in the same way as the subsequent character.

(51 Effects of the Invention) 2. According to the invention, the manual process of assembling the nails using human judgment is no longer necessary, and it can be done automatically by a computer.
Quick and accurate nail typesetting can be realized. Through trial and error, without repeating the process,
You can create natural-looking nails with just one use. Since each character is divided into character patterns, and the 7th interval can be determined based on the two-character pattern, it requires less memory work. -Ma7c
