Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a word processor, and particularly to ruled line editing processing.

[Technical Background of the Invention] Conventionally, ruled line editing using a word processor has been performed in the following manner. For example, a case will be described in which ruled line group A and ruled line group opening are displayed on the display screen 10 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3(B), this display screen 10, that is, the ruled lines of the entire page, is moved so that the ruled line group opening is at the position of the broken line shown in FIG. 3(A>).

At this time, as shown in Figure 3 (B), ruled line group A also moves together, so delete the ruled lines of this ruled line group A one by one and create only the ruled line group opening as shown in Figure 3 (C). is displayed at the movement target position.

Thereafter, in order to display the ruled line group A at the original position shown in FIG. 3(A), the ruled lines are displayed one by one to create a screen as shown in FIG. 3(E), thereby achieving the purpose.

The second method is to first delete the ruled lines that make up the ruled line group from the screen shown in Figure 3 (A) one by one to create the screen shown in Figure 3 (D), and then set the ruled line group to a specified By displaying the ruled lines one by one to display the screen at the position shown in FIG. 3(E), it is possible to move the ruled line group to the desired position.

[Problems with the background art] As mentioned above, conventional ruled line editing can only edit the specified ruled lines or the entirety of the page. If you want to move only a group of ruled lines, you have to delete either the group of ruled lines that you want to move or the group of ruled lines that you do not want to move, and then re-enter it, which is a big drawback. Ta. By the way, I explained about moving a group of ruled lines, but there is exactly the same problem when copying some groups of ruled lines on the same page, and when deleting some groups of ruled lines on the same page, they are deleted one by one. Alternatively, after deleting the entire line, the necessary ruled lines must be re-inputted, which is also a time-consuming process.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the above drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a word processor that can improve operability when editing a part of a group of ruled lines within the same page.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention recognizes a plurality of connected ruled lines as one unit of ruled line group, and performs operations such as moving, copying, and deleting in units of ruled line groups. The purpose is to quickly improve the operational efficiency when editing some of the ruled line groups.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the word processor of the present invention. 1 is a CPU that controls the entire word processor by performing data transfer, calculations, judgments, etc., 2 is a program that runs this word processor, and a memo for recording data such as ruled line position information 1 and 3 are floppy disks that store created documents, etc. A disk device, 4 a CRT for displaying input data such as documents and ruled lines, and 5 a keyboard for inputting data.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. For example, the operation of deleting one of the ruled lines displayed on one screen of the CRT 4 as shown in FIG. 2 will be explained. First, second
If you want to delete the group of ruled lines displayed at the top of the group of ruled lines displayed on the screen 41 in the figure, input one coordinate point that constitutes this group of ruled lines, in this case point a, from the keyboard 5, and Input an instruction to delete this group of ruled lines from the same keyboard. Thereby, the CPU 1 compares the input point a with all the coordinate points forming the ruled line displayed on the screen 41, and searches for a ruled line having a matching coordinate point, in this case ruled line A. Next, the CPU 1 searches for coordinate points on other ruled lines other than this ruled line A for all the coordinate points on the ruled line A, and finds ruled lines that share the coordinate points. In this case, a ruled line and a ruled line E having the same coordinate points as the ruled line A are determined. Next, for all coordinate points on the ruled line and the ruled line E,
A coordinate point common to coordinate points on ruled lines other than ruled lines A, D, and E is found, and a ruled line having this common coordinate point is searched.

In this case, the ruled line B, which has the same coordinate points as the ruled line E,
, C are found. Next, for all the coordinate points on the ruled lines 8 and C, common coordinate points on ruled lines other than the ruled lines A, B, C, D, and E are determined. In this case, since there is no coordinate point common to other ruled lines, it is determined that there are no other ruled lines other than the above-mentioned ruled lines that intersect with ruled lines B and C. As a result, the CPU 1 recognizes the ruled lines A, B, C, D, and E as one ruled line group, and performs a deletion process using this ruled line group as one unit. Therefore, the ruled lines A, B, C, D, and E are deleted all at once, and only the ruled line group consisting of the ruled lines F, G, I, and H remains on the screen 41. Further, for example, if it is desired to move a group of ruled lines displayed at the top of the screen 41, after inputting a point a on the keyboard 5, an instruction to move a group of ruled lines including this point a is issued. As a result, CPLI'l recognizes the ruled line groups A, B, C, D, and E as one ruled line group, and moves this ruled line group as one unit to the designated position. The same applies to copy processing. Note that a program for recognizing a plurality of ruled lines in the above connection relationship as one ruled line group is stored in the memory 2.

According to this embodiment, a plurality of ruled lines necessary for connection relationships are recognized as one ruled line group, and each recognized ruled line group is deleted.
Since the moving and copying processes can be performed independently, the procedure for editing a part of the ruled line group within the same page can be significantly simplified, and the operability can be significantly improved.

εEffects of the Invention As described above, according to the word processor of the present invention,
By recognizing multiple ruled lines that have a connection relationship as a ruled line group and editing such as moving, copying, deleting, etc. in this ruled line group unit, operability is improved when editing some of the ruled line groups on the same page. There are benefits to be gained.
