(B))] FIGS. 3(A) and 3(B) are diagrams for explaining the output characters in the embodiment of the present invention. The characters do not need to have a constant warp width W and a constant height h. As shown in FIG. 3(A), there are reference points 30 and 30 for each character.

It has three dimensions: width W, height, and depth d. In addition, the position of a character on the output paper is expressed by position coordinates (x, y) in a coordinate system with the origin 0 at the upper left 32 of the output paper 31 as shown in Figure 3 (CB). ) is defined by the width W, height h, and depth d as a character frame.

[Example of wA collection command (Fig. 4)] Fig. 4 shows an example of the editing command from the keyboard 3 and its processing in this embodiment. For example, the editing command specifies the end of editing work. e n command, “h” to specify the horizontal and vertical length of the page u v
There are seven types of II commands, "i", "d", and "C" commands for inserting, deleting, and changing characters, and "f" commands for changing the font.

[Edit command processing procedure (Figure 4) (Figure 5 (A) (B)
))] Figure 5 (A) CB) shows the result of formatting the document using CRTIO.
This is a flowchart showing the procedure for processing the manual input of the keys from the keyboard 3 after being displayed, and in particular, the control operation at the time of inputting the editing command shown in FIG.

In step 51, C specified by the instruction figure
The position on the RT screen is converted to the position a(Xi
, Yi) (i = 1, 2), and while looking at the displayed formatting results, enter a correction point specifying command or editing command using the mouse 2 or keyboard 3 (step S2), input in step S2. If the pressed key is not a command key, the process advances to step S30 and the process corresponding to the key is performed. If the key input in step S2 is a command key, the process advances to step S3 and
Check if it is a "command" 11 el If it is a command, this operation ends.

11 If it is not an eII command, the process advances to step S4 to see if it is a modification point specification command. When specifying a correction point, proceed to step S5, and only when i=1 or 2,
Proceeding to step S6, the position indicated by the mouse 2 etc.
Xt, Yi) are determined and stored in the position memory 44. Subsequently, in step S7, the counter i45 is incremented by 1 and the process returns to step S1. If the counter i45 is greater than 2 in step S5, the process advances to step S8, and a display is made on the CRTIO indicating that the correction location has already been determined.

In step S4, if the command is not a command for specifying a correction part, the process advances to step S9, and the first editing command "d", "i",
It is checked whether the keys "C" and "f" are manually operated. If not, the process goes to step 510 and it is checked whether they are "h" or "V" commands. If not, the process goes to step 311 and it does not correspond to any editing command. This will be displayed on the CRTIO.

In the case of "h", "V" commands, the process advances to step S12, and the position memory 45 (Xl, Yt) (x2, y
1) The horizontal or vertical length of the page is determined, and the document is edited in step 313.

In step S9, °゛i″′, “dn.

When the commands "c" and "f" are input, it is determined whether (xl, yl) is within the character frame of a certain output character (step 514), and if it is outside the character frame,
The process advances to step S15, which is displayed on the CRTlo, and the process returns to step S1.

If it is determined in step S14 that (x,, yl) is within the character frame, the process advances to step 516 to check whether it is an "i" command. If it is an "i" command, the process advances to step 317 and the specified correction is performed. The location (Xx, Yx) is compared with the position information p of the output character table 7 to find the corresponding character, and the process advances to step S13 to perform IIA collection.

If it is not an i” command in step 316, step 81
Proceed to 8, (X2, Y2) = (0.

0), and if X2 and tY2 are both O, then 1*

Set to the same value as Yz). Step 520 is (X2
, Y2) is O and fx, then Chi(x2).

If Y2) is set, check whether (X2.Y2) is within the character frame, and if it is not within the character frame, proceed to step S21 and display that on the CRTlO.
When (X 21 Y 2 ) is within the character frame or is not set, the process advances to step S22, and (Xz *
Y t ) + (X2 + Y2 ) TE searches for and reads out characters within the specified range from the output character table, and proceeds to step S13.

Explanation of L character frame determination procedure (Figure 6)] Figure 6 shows the 5th
This is a flowchart for determining whether the position (x, y) on the output paper 31 specified by the instruction graphic in FIGS. 3A and 3B is within the character frame of a certain output character.

First, in step S60, a counter n47 for counting characters in the output character table 7 and a designated position (x
, y) in the character frame is initialized, and in step S61, the nth character information xn from the character table 27 registered in the output character table 7 is initialized.

Read yn, wn, hn, dn.

As mentioned above, the characters in the character table 27 are y
Since they are registered in ascending order of , they are read in order from the top, and when yn-α≧Y (when it is directly above @71 as shown in FIG. 7 Y') in step S62, the read characters are It is assumed that the character is not the specified character, the process proceeds to step S63, the counter n47 is incremented, and the process returns to step S61.
Return to

If it is determined in step S62 that Y is below the line &171, the process proceeds to step S64, where it is determined whether yn+β≧Y, that is, above the line ff172. Here constant α
, β are numbers preset in constant α48 and constant β49, respectively.

If it is determined in step S64 that Y is above the straight line 72, the process proceeds to step S65, and xn≦X<x n +
Check whether the condition of wn is satisfied.0If the condition is satisfied, check the condition of yn-hn<Y≦yn+dn to see if it is included in the character frame 33 as shown in FIG. 3(A). If it is included in the 0-character frame, the process advances to step S67, and the counter C46 of the characters included in the character frame is
is incremented by +1, the process proceeds to step S68, and counter n47 is incremented by +1.
1 and refer to the next character in the output character table 7.

If it is determined in step S64 that the number of Y has exceeded the straight line 72, the process advances to step S69 and the number on the counter 046 is checked. If the value of counter C46 is O, step S7
Proceed to 0 and select the specified position (x.

Since there are no characters that include Y) within the character frame, it is determined that the character is outside the one character frame. If the counter C46 is not 0, the process advances to step S71 to check whether the counter C46 is 1 or not. If it is 1, it means that there is a character whose character frame includes only one character at the specified position (x, y), and if it is not 1, step S72
Go to CRT and read the number of characters indicated by counter C46.
Displayed on IO and selected by the user 1. Determines that the character is within the character frame.

In this embodiment, only the characters to be output are registered in the character table 27; for example, reference points such as line segments, spaces, w, h, etc.

It is also possible to register those in which d is specified.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, editing operations may be simplified by providing keys dedicated to command groups on the keyboard, or positions may be specified from the keyboard without using a mouse or the like. good.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, there is a case where the character is not designated because the user intended to designate a character with a low height and designated the diagonally shaded area 90 above the character, which can be troublesome. Therefore, for each line, the maximum height of characters on that line hma
By determining x, maximum depth d wax and determining a common height and depth for all characters in the line, the drawbacks described above may be eliminated.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a document containing instructions can be easily edited by displaying the output result on a display device, specifying the editing part, and performing the editing operation. .
