Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease troublesome processes related to frames by using a means which indicates a part of image data as a block and a means which decides whether a designated part is defined as a floating block or a fixed block. CONSTITUTION:It is checked whether the generation of a block is equal to the change of an existing block or not according to designation of i-con of 'frame attribute' under a screen or i-con of 'frame vacancy'. In case the i-con of 'frame vacancy' is designated for production, a frame is indicated by a cursor and then the generation of a fixed block or a floating block is checked. When the i-con of 'fixed' under the screen is indicated, the information on the block is set to the fixed block information 603. Then a fixed frame is formed on a CRT 1 and the processing is returned to the original routine. If the i-con of 'floating' under the screen is designated, the information on the block is set to the floating block information 602. Then a floating frame is formed on the CRT 1. Then the inserting position of the floating block is obtained from a page address table and a buoy is put into the corresponding position.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an image processing device that processes image data such as text and graphic images, and in particular blocks that have unique attributes such as text, graphics, and images in documents. The present invention relates to an image processing device that can float blocks according to the flow of data or fix blocks regardless of document data.

(Prior Art) In conventional word processors, when pasting a map or photograph into a document, a fixed frame is left in the middle of the text in the document, and the figure or photograph is pasted into that frame.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in this case, the frame is usually placed near the text related to the photo or figure to be pasted, but there is a drawback that the position of the related text and the frame may be different due to the deletion or insertion of text.

Furthermore, although some phototypesetting machines and electronic typesetting machines can handle floating blocks, there is a problem in that floating blocks are not always set where you want them to be.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve this problem, the present invention includes means for designating a part of image data as a block, and designation means for designating whether the designated part is to be a floating block or a fixed block. Become.

[Effect] Any block can be moved or moved according to the editing process.
Fixation can be easily done by designated means.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a CRT display unit using the rask scan display method, 2 is a video RAM (VRAM) that stores pattern development information for one screen, and 3 is a VRA'M2.
4 is a microprocessor (MPU) that is in charge of main control of the apparatus of this embodiment; 5 is a display controller that controls pattern expansion to the CR7 display section 1 and pattern readout to the CR7 display section 1; R with built-in control program
Main memory consisting of OM and RAM for data processing, 6
7 is a pointing device (PD) for inputting the position of the display screen, 8 is a keyboard, and 9 is an I10 bus that connects each of these blocks to the MPU 4.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a method of specifying fixed blocks. The block creation position is determined by specifying two points on the document displayed on the CR7 display section 1. This block does not move even if text is deleted or inserted. Naturally, the block is fixed on the designated page.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a method of specifying floating blocks. The instruction method is the same as for fixed blocks, but the insertion position of the block is such that the upper left corner of the block is relative to the text.
This is a position determined by software. Therefore, the block actually moves somewhat after being specified. A buoy (a mark meaning floating) is inserted into the text and displayed at the position where the floating block is inserted. The block moves floatingly due to the movement of the buoy when the text increases or decreases by inserting or deleting text.

If you switch the floating block to a fixed block, the buoy will be deleted and it will behave as a fixed block. Conversely, if you make a fixed block a floating block, a buoy will be inserted, inserted, or
displayed and behaves as a floating block.

Switching between a floating block and a fixed block is performed by selecting a block with a pointing device and then indicating the attribute of the block.

The fourth section describes the format of document files stored in the external magnetic disk device 6. The document head has the size of the document file, the number of blocks, block information 403 and 404, the address of the predetermined definition 402, and the like. The format definition 402 includes paper size, plate position,
Contains format information such as character set information, character pitch, and line pitch.

Floating block information 403 and fixed block information 404 have the same structure. Floating block information 403 and fixed block information 404 are each sorted in the order of calling.

Block data 405 includes each block information 403, 40
4 actual data is stored. The text data 406 is
It includes a floating block call 407.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the structure of block information. Priority 501 is the display priority when multiple blocks overlap. Fixed/Floating is a flag indicating whether the block is a fixed block or a floating block. Page number/floating block number 5
03 contains the page number when it is a fixed block, and the floating block number when it is a floating block. Block upper left X coordinate and block upper left X coordinate 504 store the size of the block in terms of width and height. block data address 50
6 stores the address of data related to the block in the block data 405.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of FIG. 1 divided into functions. In the figure, document data from a data supply source 10 consisting of a keyboard 8 and a disk device 6 is transmitted to a control means 4.
1 to the page processing means 42. The page processing means 42 handles line breaks included in the read document data string,
In accordance with various format control codes such as page break and offset, a table is created that corresponds to the address to be expanded to the VRAM 2 and the input document code, and is stored in the page address table 51. In this way, the page address table 51
The document data stored in is immediately read out for display, converted into a pattern by a character generator (CG) 31, and expanded into the VRAM 2. Also, data source 1
Information about the block is also read from 0, and the block display and its block information are displayed as floating block information 602.
The fixed block information 603 is also set at the same time.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the structure of the page address table 601. In the figure, yo and xo are data giving the X coordinate and X coordinate of the first character position of the line, and ofst1 is data giving the offset amount of the X coordinate from the first character position of the line. In this case, the most significant bit of ofstl is OFF to indicate that it is an offset from the first character position. Further, when there is header control data indicated by ■, the offset ofsti of the X coordinate becomes an offset value of 0 and does not affect the display position of the next character. In this case, the most significant bit of ofsti is turned ON.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of this embodiment described above. In step S1, it is determined whether or not there is manpower available for document data. If you have data manpower, step S2
reads the data and sends the data to the page processing means 42. The page processing means 42 determines where on the VRAMZ the data is located in step S3,
In step S4, the obtained coordinates of the VRAM 2 and their code data are stored in the page address table 51. Next, in step S5, the expanded address on the key and VRAMZ is displayed on the display control unit 3 according to the page address table 51.
Send it up. In step S6, the display control unit 3 creates a pattern corresponding to the code at a given position on the VRAMZ on the CG3.
1, the data is expanded and displayed on the CR7 display section 1, and the process returns to step S1.

Further, if it is determined in step S1 that the data is not manually input, the input from the PD 7 is checked in step S7, and if there is no input, the process returns to step S1 again. If there is human power from PD7, it is determined in step S8 whether the current processing is in block processing mode, and if it is not in block processing mode, the process returns to Sl. If the mode is block processing, the process goes to the block processing routine of step S9, and after the block processing, step S
Return to t.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the block processing routine of step S9 in FIG. Did you specify 1-con of "r frame attribute" at the bottom of the screen in step SIO, or 1-con of "r frame empty"?
Checks whether the block is created or an existing block is modified depending on whether the command is specified. 1-con with "frame empty" is designated, and if it is generated, the frame is designated with the cursor in step S21, and then, in step 11, it is checked whether the generation of a fixed block is the generation of a floating block. "Fixed" 1 at the bottom of the screen
-con, in step S12, information regarding the block is set in the fixed block information 603, and CR
Free a fixed frame on TI and return to the original routine.

If 1-con of "r floating" at the bottom of the screen is specified in step S11, information about the block is set in the floating block information 602 in step S11, a floating frame is opened on the CRTI, and the insertion position of the floating block is determined from the page address table. and insert a buoy at the corresponding position. Then return to the original routine.

If the existing block is changed in step 510, that is, if 1-con of the "frame attribute" is specified, step S14
1-con of "Fixed" was instructed or 1 of "8th shift"
Depending on whether -con is specified, it is checked whether the change is from a fixed block to a floating block or from a floating block to a fixed block.

If it is a change from a floating block to a fixed block, the floating block information is changed to fixed block information in step S15, and from the floating block information 602 in step S16,
The information of the block is deleted and registered in the fixed block information 603. Next, in step S17, the buoy of the original floating block is deleted from the position information of the original floating block and the page address table 601. Then return to the original routine. If the fixed block is changed to a floating block in step S14, the fixed block information is changed to floating block information in step S18, and step S19
The information on the block is deleted from the fixed block information 603 and registered in the floating block information 602. Next, in step S20, a buoy is inserted from the page address table 601 and the block position to the floating block insertion position. Then return to the original routine.

As described above, according to the present invention, fixed frames and floating frames can be freely created in a document, and the attributes of the frames can also be easily changed, which has the effect of significantly reducing the troublesome processing related to frames.

Furthermore, when creating a document, frames that depend on the text are made into floating blocks for manual editing, and when the approximate position is determined, they are made into fixed blocks, which reduces operations and allows the operator to empty the frames as desired. There is an effect.
