Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document display method for displaying a character string in a form corresponding to a print output image when a plurality of character sizes are specified in a document.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, the character sizes that can be handled by Japanese document editing and proofreading machines include not only full-width characters, but also half-width, double-width, double-width, vertical and horizontal, etc., and recently, in order to meet the increasingly diverse demands, the standard size A model has been proposed that allows multiple sizes of characters (full-width characters) to be specified.

There are two main methods for handling multiple font sizes when creating, editing, and printing a document:

(1) Method of specifying font size when printing. in this case,
-The font size in the document is basically the same.

(2) Method of specifying font size while creating a document.

In this case, multiple character sizes can be handled within the same document.

However, in these two methods, (1) the thickness of the document margin, character pitch, and line pitch differ for each specified character size;

(2) The character arrangement of the document is different between when it is being created or edited and when it is printed.

A problem like this arises, and sentence 1. The disadvantage is that the efficiency of creating and editing is reduced.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned problems, take into account information regarding the font size and format when printing a created document, display the document in a form that corresponds to the printed output image, and efficiently edit and edit the document. The purpose is to be able to proofread.

[Summary of the invention]

In the present invention, when handling multiple font sizes when editing and printing a document, the character arrangement on the editing screen and the character arrangement in the print result may be different, or even if they match, the document format (margins) , character pitch, line pitch) were different from what was originally planned, and in order to resolve this,
lt: * By considering various print format parameters (paper size, character pitch, line pitch, margin, character size) when processing character strings inside the machine, - Multiple character sizes and characters in the middle of a sentence When editing and proofreading by specifying a pitch, the present invention is characterized in that the character strings are displayed on the screen in accordance with the arrangement of the character strings when printed.

Toreyoshi operators can always monitor the print image on the screen, which can be expected to greatly improve operability.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on examples.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a Japanese language editing and proofreading machine to which the present invention is applied. This device has a configuration with a microcomputer at its core, and includes a control unit 10 in which a program is placed, a key control unit 20 that reads keys entered from a keyboard 21, and stores character data and various format parameters. A memory unit 30, an external memory 41 for storing the data, an external memory control unit 40 for controlling the external memory, a screen display side phloem 50 for displaying on the CR/T display 51, and a refresh memory. 52 and C)? , a T character pattern memory 53, a print analyzer 60 for printing character strings on the printer 61, a dot data buffer 62 for storing one line of character patterns for printing, and a printer character ζ turn memory 63. Consists of.

The control section 10 , memory section 30 , refresh memory 52 , CRT character pattern memory 53 , dot data buffer 62 , printer character turn memory 63 , key manual control section 20 , and external memory control section 40 are connected to a common bus 70 . Data is exchanged via this bus 70.

Data related to document creation can be roughly divided into system-specific information (see FIG. 3) and document data (see FIG. 4). Information unique to the system consists of a character pitch table 201 showing the pitch of each character for each character size and a line pitch table 202 showing the pitch of each line. For each sentence, the data is a valid digit table showing the number of digits of characters that can be stored in one line, each character size, character pitch 4; FK: 301,
Text data 302, a pointer indicating which character is the first character of each line, and line management data 303 having information indicating the line pitch, character pitch, character size, etc. of that line, and a pointer indicating which line is the first line of each part. Page management data 3
04, a format parameter 305 that determines the format of the document, etc.

Next, the operation of each part shown in FIG. 2 will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when the operator instructs to create a document by pressing a predetermined key on the keyboard 21 (step 401), the control unit 10 displays format parameters on the CRT display 51 (step 402,
(See Figure 5). The operator follows this by adjusting the keyboard 2 so that the number of characters per line and the number of lines per page are as desired.
Each parameter is set by operating 1 and specifying and inputting each parameter (step 403).

When this parameter is set, the control unit 10 updates the format parameter 305 in the memory unit 30]-2, and the effective digit table 301 is set based on this content (step 404, details will be described later). This makes it possible to input characters via the keyboard 21 using a known method (step 405).

In addition, although the above describes the case of creating a new document, when updating an already created document, format parameter 3
05, significant digit table 3 (11) and text data 302 are each stored in the external memory 41, so when the update document is specified, this is stored in the control unit 10Vc.
The data is captured in a predetermined area of the memory section 30.

Thereafter, the operator can change the font size specification for printing from any line in the document by pressing a predetermined key on the keyboard 21 at any time while editing the document ( In step 406), in accordance with this specification, the control unit 10 rearranges the character strings starting from the specified line (step 407, details will be described later). Then, each management table 303, 304 updated by this process
The text data 302 based on ('l(i') is displayed on the display 51VC (step 408).

Next, a method for setting the effective digit table will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

First, the left margin dimension 602 and right margin dimension 603 are removed from the width dimension 601 of the paper to obtain an effective width dimension 604 in which characters can actually be placed (step 702). Next, this effective width dimension 604 is divided by the character width dimension 605 (the width of one character plus the space between characters) to find the maximum number of characters that can fit in the - line (step 705). and,
The value obtained by subtracting one character from this number of characters for the prohibited character area 606 is obtained as the valid number of characters that can actually fit in one line (step 706). Then, double this value to obtain the number of digits that can fit in one line per half-width character (step 707), and set this value in a predetermined area of the effective digit table 301 (
step 708). By performing the above processing for each character size and character pitch, the effective digit table 30 is created.
1 is set.

Next, the character string rearrangement process when changing the character size will be explained based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 1 and 9.

(1) Row management data table text pointer 303 (
Correcting a) Due to the change in font size, the number of effective digits in the - line changes,
Line management cheater text after the line specified to change the font size
Modify the pull text pointer (which indicates the first character of the line).

The details of VciiQ will be explained below based on FIG.

First, set the text pointer on the first line to the first character (
After step 804), character pitch code 3 of the stacked line
o 3(c), obtain character size hood 303(d) (step 805). Then, based on the code, significant digits are obtained from the previously set significant digit table 301 (step 806), and the total number of digits of the characters to be placed is stored, and the Nl digits are cleared to zero. (Step 807
). Next, ``From the character attribute unit 302(a) of the text data indicated by the line feed text pointer, if it is a half-width character, 1 digit (
Steps 808 and 809), 2 digits for full-width characters (Step 8
10,811), 2 digits if half-width and double-width (step 812
, 813), and if it is full-width and double-width, it is 4 digits (step 814) and j~, and this number of digits is added to the total digits (step 815).
, if the total digits are less than or equal to significant digits (step 816), similar processing is performed for the next text data.

Then, when the total digits exceed the valid digits, point the text data at that time with the text pointer on the next line (
Steps 818, 804>. Thereafter, the above-mentioned process is repeated until the last line of the document, and the line management f-tataple text voice/rea 03 (a) is corrected.

(2) Page management data table row pointer 304 (a)
Modification When changing the font size, the width of a line changes, so the number of lines that can fit on one page may change. Therefore,
The page management data table line pointer 304(a) after the page where the font size change specification line exists is corrected as follows.

First, from the vertical length of the paper 607, the top margin 608 and the bottom gold white 6
06, an effective length 610 in which characters can actually be placed is obtained (step 903).

Next, set the line pointer of the first page to the first line (step 7
'905) L, then the total length that stores the total vertical length of the rows placed in the stack is cleared to zero (step 906
). Then, the line pitch code 303 (b) and character size code 303 (d
) (step 907), and this row pitch table 2 is obtained.
Convert to actual length based on 02 (step 908)
. This value is added to the total length (step 909), and if the total length is less than or equal to the effective length (step 910), the same process is performed for the next row. If the total length exceeds the effective length, the line management data at that time is pointed to by the line pointer of the next page (steps 912, 905).

Thereafter, the above process is repeated until the last page of the document.

Through the above processing, it becomes possible to rearrange the character strings of an already created document when changing the character size.

Next, a specific example of document display will be shown based on FIGS. 10 and 11. 1001 in FIG. 10(a) is an example of document printout before changing the text size, and 1001 in FIG. 10(b)
2 is an example of the screen display. An example of the print output when changing the font size from A to J3 (A>B) in the fourth line of this document is 1003 in Figure 11 (a), and an example of the screen display is 1004 in Figure 11 (b). It is. As shown in 1003, the maximum number of characters that can be stored in one line changes from 10 to 14 as the character size changes, but the display of character strings on the editing screen is also rearranged to match the printed output.

In addition, in order to indicate what font size the operator is currently creating the document in during editing, the font size and number of significant digits of the line where the cursor 1010 is located are set to 1.
It is displayed by 011.1012.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the number of effective digits that can be stored in a - line is stored in a table in correspondence with each character size and character pitch, so the character size and character pitch can be changed in a document. In this case, by obtaining the relevant number of significant digits from the table above and rearranging the character strings accordingly, it is possible to match the screen display during editing with the output image, and as a result, editing and proofreading the document Efficiency is greatly improved.
