DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a word processor with graphic processing functionality.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Conventionally, in Japanese word processors having graphic processing functions, line type patterns in graphic processing are stored as basic dot patterns in an internal specific table. By reading out the dot pattern data repeatedly, the line pattern was displayed or printed out.

However, in such conventional line pattern generation means, only the line types determined within the system can be used, the number of line types is also limited, and it is necessary to change or increase the line type pattern. When this happens, there is an inconvenience that the process cannot be easily carried out.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and provides a word processor in which necessary line type patterns can be easily registered, and thereby line types can be easily increased or changed at the user level. The purpose is to

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention has a line type pattern registration table, registers desired line type pattern information in the table, and executes line dot processing based on the read data of the table specified by the table specifying means. It has a configuration that generates and outputs patterns. This allows the user to easily register any line type, display or print out figures using the desired line type, and extremely easily change the line type. can be done.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the updating processing flow of the registers 16 and 17.

The operation of one embodiment will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. First, the line type registration processing operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. As input data for the line type pattern registration request, the following data is input from the keyboard 11: Pl specifying the registration number (0 to N), P2 indicating the number of registered data bears (n/2), and P3 indicating the registered data address. Ru. This input data is checked for correctness by the second arithmetic unit, and if it is abnormal, the process is terminated, and if it is normal, control is transferred to the line type pattern registration device 14, and based on the P1 data, the processing shown in FIG. The ist table 21 shown in is indexed, and the start address of the second table 22 for storing the broken line data is determined. Then, in the data bear number storage area (nX2) in the corresponding 2nd table 22, P
The value of 2X2 (2 if the number of data bears is 1 set) is stored, and furthermore, from the address indicated by P3 data, P2
The second broken line data (print dot length/blank dot length) is read out and stored in the registered data storage area of the second table 22. The registration processing flow at this time is shown in FIG. 31'.

In this way, the required type of line type data is
It is registered in table 22... Next, the above line type registration table <1S key pull 21, 2nd table 22)

This will be explained with reference to FIG.

Here, the printing start position is Xa, Vo, and the printing end position is x1. This will be explained by taking a broken line pattern as l+ as an example. First, when there is a request for broken line printing, the registers 16 and 17 are initialized and the print start position is set, and then the specified position (Xa, ya-+X!, etc.) is set based on the contents of the registers 16 and 17.

Here, if the value of the register 17 is an even value, dot printing is performed, and if it is an odd value, no dot printing is performed. Then, when the printing process is completed (when the current print character position ,
y), update registers 16 and 17, and repeat the above process until printing is completed (X=Xt). The printing process flow at this time is shown in FIG.

Here, update control of the registers 16 and 17 will be explained with reference to FIG. Here, the number of registered data bears - 1,
Let us take as an example the processing when the print dot length is -4 and the blank dot length is set to 2. When a call is made, the values of registers 16 and 17 are both "0". When called, the value of the register 16 is counted up until it matches the contents of the second table 22 indicated by the register 17 (4 in this example). When a match is found, the register 16 is initialized and the register 17 is counted up. As a result, the register 17 then specifies the position of the blank dot length, and the blank printing process is performed for the number of dots according to the specified content. Here, double dot the blank, and the value of register 16 will be the content of 2nd table 22 specified by register 11 (
In this example, by matching 2), the register 17 is counted up. In this example, the number of registered data bears is "1", that is, the data length of the broken line pattern stored in the selected 2nd table 22 is two.
Here, the value of register 17 is initialized.

In this way, each time it is called, registers 16, 1
7 is performed, and the dashed line pattern printing/blank development processing is sequentially executed according to the values of the registers 16 and 17.

By the line type pattern generation process as described above, it is possible to print or display a plurality of required line patterns without increasing the memory capacity. Also, 2nd table 22・
By registering multiple types of line type pattern information in . . . and specifying the 2nd table 22 according to the desired line type, the desired line pattern can be easily printed or displayed. Changes can be made very easily.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, a word processor having a graphic processing function has a registration table for line type patterns, registers desired line type pattern information in the table, By creating a configuration in which a line dot pattern is generated and output based on the read data of the table specified by the above table specification means, the user can easily register any line type, and the desired line type can be used to create figures. can be displayed or printed out, and the line type can be changed extremely easily.
