Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement in a tabulation method suitable for creating tables using a word processor.

(Prior Art) A word printer is used to store texts in a storage device, call them up as needed, make necessary corrections and additions, and print them out. When tabulating a table, the pattern of one character that makes up the ruled line is memorized, and the ruled line is written by handling this in the same way as kana or kanji.

FIG. 6 shows the operation of writing ruled lines, in which (a) shows writing of horizontal ruled lines, (b) shows writing of vertical ruled lines, and (C) shows writing of frames. In the figure, F indicates the start position of the ruled line writing operation, and T indicates the end position of the ruled line writing operation.

In FIG. 6(a), horizontal ruled lines are drawn between predetermined columns within one line of text. In FIG. 6(b), vertical ruled lines are drawn vertically across each row in a predetermined column of text. In FIG. 6C, the frame is drawn to form a quadrilateral within the specified rows and columns.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, when writing a ruled line using such a method, a set of start position F and end position T must be set for each ruled line. Only one ruled line was written in one setting operation. Therefore, when creating a table using many ruled lines, this setting operation must be repeated many times, resulting in poor tabulation efficiency.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides a ruled line writing method that can write a large number of ruled lines through -times of setting operations.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The method according to the present invention includes an input means for inputting information necessary for writing ruled lines, a storage means for storing the input information,
a computer that writes ruled lines based on the stored information; An input process for inputting data.

(c) A judgment process of determining whether the searched row column is a position where a ruled line is to be written, and (d) If it is a position where a ruled line is to be written in the above judgment process, a process of determining whether the column of the searched row is a position where a ruled line is to be written, and which matches the pattern adjacent to the position. connection processing process for writing a ruled line pattern.

(e) The ruled line is written through an end determination step of determining whether a ruled line has been written in the range input in the input step.

(Example) The present invention will be explained below using figures.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an input means such as a keyboard for inputting characters and symbols, and 2 is a storage means for storing input characters and symbols, such as a disk or ROM (Read Only).
Memory) K is configured to store a dictionary for converting kana-kanji and input sentences as necessary. 3 is a display means such as a CRT that displays the stored text; 4 is a printing means such as a printer that prints the text on paper; 5 is a word processor that operates according to the stored program and controls each part. C.P.
It is U.

In the apparatus configured in this way, sentences are displayed on the display means 3 from the storage means 2, and corrections are made as appropriate by the input means 1.
The modified contents are displayed on the display means 3 and the stored contents of the storage means 2 are also rewritten.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the ruled line writing method of the present invention.

First, enter the type of border. What are the types of ruled lines?

There is a difference between horizontal ruled lines and vertical ruled lines, and if you want to create them at the same time in the frame, enter that information as well (step 1).

Next, input the starting position F for one tabulation. For example, you can enter numbers for pages, rows, and columns in a text.
Alternatively, input may be made on the drawing displayed on the display means 3 (
Step, Pu2).

Next, input the length t of the ruled line on which the writing operation will be performed.

In the case of vertical ruled lines, the number of rows may be used, and in the case of horizontal ruled lines, the number of columns may be used (step 3).

Next, input the interval d between the ruled lines. If there are three or more ruled lines, input the interval between the ruled lines as dl, d2, etc. accordingly. In the case of vertical ruled lines, the column spacing can be used, and in the case of horizontal ruled lines, the row spacing can be used (Step 4)
.

The steps 1 to 4 are performed via the input means 1.

The CPU 5 searches for the line in the text indicated by the start position F (step 5).Next, the CPU 5 searches for one line of characters in this designated line.

Searching refers to the type of font (for example, whether it is a Mincho or Gothic font, which can be determined by the control code) or the type of character (for example, the Kanji ``A'' or the alphanumeric character). (It can be determined by the character code.)

The search process is to search for the relevant character, (a) find if the character code is included, use the relevant character as is, and change the character code to the ruled line code.

) If there are no characters in the relevant category, insert a new line with a ruled line code.

To say something (ste, pro).

Next, it is determined whether the characters in each column of the relevant gender should be written on a ruled line or deleted. That is, it is checked whether the row and column of the character are in the specified area (steps 7).

In the case of ruled lines, connection processing is performed (Step 8).

The connection process will be described in detail later.

Perform connection processing, or if it is not a ruled line, determine whether one line ends with that character (Step 9); If not, move to KFi, move to the next column of characters (Step 10)
).

- If the line ends, determine whether the line is the last line of the designated area (step 11).

If there is an unprocessed line, move to the next line and step.

Repeat step 11 from Pro (Step, Step 12).

If it is the last row, the tabulation ends.

FIG. 3 shows the details of the "connection process (step 8)" in the flowchart of FIG. .

This process checks the status of each character/symbol adjacent to a given character in four directions (top, bottom, left and right), selects a ruled line pattern that is continuous with the character, and writes it at that position.

For each direction (up, down, left, right) of the position of the character you are about to write (in the case of the right direction, the ruled line pattern that will be written from now on), if there is a ruled line that continues at that position, the binary number is 1.2. .4.8, and the surrounding state is expressed by the sum of these numbers, this value is 0001 when there are ruled lines that are continuous only on the left, 0010 when there are ruled lines that are continuous only on the upper side, It is 0100 when there are ruled lines extending only to the right, 1000 when there are ruled lines extending only downward, and 011O when there are ruled lines extending upward and to the right.

FIG. 4 shows the correspondence between such surrounding conditions, the corresponding register values, and the selected symbols.

That is, if there are ruled lines that extend upward and to the right, a ruled line pattern that connects these ruled lines is selected, and a corresponding character code is written at its coordinates.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of ruled line writing.

This example shows a case where horizontal ruled lines are written. First, a horizontal ruled line is specified as the type. (Step 1).

The starting position F is 2 rows and 2 columns, the length t is 7, and the interval d
2. Specify d2 as 3 (Step 2.3.4).

Then, the CPU S draws a horizontal ruled line on the second line and performs the same process on the fifth and ninth lines.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, a plurality of ruled lines can be written in a single operation, so tabulation efficiency is improved.
