When arranging the above-mentioned blocks, conventionally, a block 1 of a predetermined size is generated on the display section 2 as shown in FIG.
The position of block 1 was determined by moving the cursor 4 in response to instructions from the input unit.

However, when placing block 1 at a position a predetermined distance from printing plate 3, the position is determined by moving block 1 in conjunction with the movement of cursor 4 while the operator visually confirms the position on display unit 2. Also, since the image displayed on the display section 2 of the editing device is generally scaled down compared to the actual size, for example, how many millimeters above or how many millimeters to the right of the reference point? It was quite difficult to place Block 1 in such a precise position.

[Objective of the Invention 1 The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an editing device that can easily and accurately arrange blocks such as social media and annotation text at desired positions on the printing plate, and has the following characteristics: This includes an input section for inputting information regarding the block size, the type of reference point to be adopted, and the offset amount, and a control section for calculating the shift amount of the reference point based on the input block size and reference point information. , a cursor register that stores the position coordinates where the cursor is generated, a reference point register that stores information about the reference point, an offset register that stores the offset amount, a size register that stores the size of the block that will be generated, and a cursor register that stores the position coordinates where the cursor is generated. a cursor generation section to be generated, an input section for inputting information regarding the block size, the type of reference point to be adopted, and the amount of offset;
a control unit that calculates a shift amount of the reference point based on the input block size and reference point information; a cursor register that stores position coordinates for generating a cursor; a reference point register that stores information about the reference point; An offset register that stores an offset amount, a size register that stores the size of a block to be generated, a cursor generator that generates a cursor, and a reference point register located at a distance from the cursor by the offset amount stored in the offset register. and a display block generation section that places a reference point of the blocks stored in the block and displays the block of the size calculated by the control section there.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[Configuration and Operation of the Invention] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the invention. 5 is an input section consisting of a keyboard, a coordinate input device (tablet), etc., 6 is an input analysis section, 7 is a control section, 8 is a display block generation section that generates blocks, and 9 is a cursor that generates a cursor. generation part, 10 is a cursor register,
11 is a reference point register, 12 is an offset register, 1
3 is a size register.

Hereinafter, the operation when placing the block 1 at a position a predetermined distance 1 from the printing plate 3 will be explained. In addition, here, block 1 is moved from the lower left of the printing plate 3 to the right direction a.

An example will be explained in which they are placed at a position that is just a downward distance away.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing block 1, which has a size of horizontal X11Y. The size of this block 1 changes depending on the size of the character string that will fit in that position. Also points A, B, C
, D, E, F, G, H, 1 are reference points for indicating the distance of block 1 from the printing plate 3 (hereinafter referred to as offset amount), and in this example, 9 points are taken as reference points. However, this number is not necessarily limited to nine points. The positions of these reference points are determined by calculation in the control section 7 according to the size of the block.

First, what kind of character string will enter block 1 from input section 5 (to calculate the size of block 1), which reference point of block 1 will be used as a reference, and command strings such as offset IXs, Y+ values, etc. Enter. The input command string is sent to the control section 7 through the input analysis section 6. The I control unit 7 first obtains the sizes X and Y of block 1 from the input command string, and then
The relative positional relationship of each reference point (based on the size information of
For example, the amount of deviation ΔX of each other reference point with respect to reference point A,
ΔY) is calculated. Then, the calculated block 1 size X, Y% deviation amount ΔX of the reference point.

The values of ΔY and offsets tX+ and Y+ are stored in the size register 13. Reference point register 11. Store it in the offset register 12. On the other hand, the cursor generating section 9 moves the cursor to a predetermined position on the display section 2 based on the cursor position information Xc, Yc stored in the cursor register 10 (see FIG. 4).
A cursor 4 is generated and displayed as shown in b).

The display block generation unit 8 generates a block whose size is based on the sizes X and Y stored in the size register 13.
The offset ff stored in the offset register 12 is calculated from the reference point stored in the reference point register 11 (A in this example, the deviation amount ΔXA -0, ΔYA -0).
It is generated at a position away from the cursor 4 by 1X+, Y+ (same < a, b) as shown in FIG. 4 (b). Next, the contents of the cursor register 10 are updated according to a command from the input section 5,
Move the cursor 4 while checking the position on the display section 2,
For example, in this case, the cursor 4 is positioned at the lower left of the hanmen 3. Block 1 is linked with cursor 4, as shown in Figure 4 (c).
, lower left of version 11ii3, offset ff1a,
It is placed at position b. Once the block 1 is placed at the desired position, a fixing command is input from the input unit 5 to fix the position of the block 1.

As described above, blocks sized to accommodate predetermined social events, annotations, etc. can be placed at predetermined positions on the printing plate 3.

Although the present invention has been described in detail above, it goes without saying that the blocks arranged according to the present invention can be implemented not only in squares and rectangles but also in other polygonal shapes. In addition, in the above explanation, the case where the upper left corner of block 1, the setting point, and the mountain A are used as the reference point has been described in 1, but the same applies when any other arbitrary reference point is adopted, for example, the 3rd FIG. 5 shows a state in which the block 1 is positioned using the reference point E shown in the figure. Furthermore, it is clear that the present invention can be applied not only to arranging blocks such as social events and annotations on a printing plate, but also to specifying the size and position of areas where photographs and headings can be placed. Furthermore, the size of the block may not be calculated by the control unit, but may be input directly as a numerical value from the input unit.

[Effects of the Invention] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above.According to the present invention, when specifying the placement of blocks for social events, annotations, etc. on the printing plate, in the editing device, an arbitrary block can be selected from the cursor. A block corresponding to the size of the character string used as a social meeting or annotation text is displayed at a distance of . By simply moving to the reference position, the blocks will be linked and placed in the specified position, making it possible to easily and accurately place blocks for social events, annotations, etc. in the desired position on the hanmen. This has great effects.
