Abstract

PURPOSE:To generally execute the shaping (upper, lower and center shaping or the like) in a line advancing direction by calculating the line pitch of an empty line allocated to each code based on the input of a filling line code. CONSTITUTION:The filling line code commands to file an empty area existing in a page with empty lines, and when plural filling line codes exist in the page, the code commands to set up the line pitches of the empty lines corresponding to respective filling line codes to the same value as a layout control code. Control data for controlling layout are stored as document data. Document data for one page are read out from a storage device and the control data excluding the filling line codes are processed to execute the layout processing of the data. Then, a layout control device calculates the line pitch of an empty line allocated to each one filling line code from the size of the line in the line advancing direction having no data arrangement and the number of filling lines to execute relayout.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document editing device that formats and outputs document data including text data, graphic data, and control data for controlling layout.

Conventional technology In conventional word processors, character strings are left aligned and centered in the direction of text (left and right in horizontal writing).

There are ways to format strings, such as right alignment and equal allocation. However, the line progression direction (vertical direction in horizontal writing)
There is no equivalent function for this, and it is necessary to format it by inserting line breaks or changing the line pitch.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned in the prior art section, current word processors align the lines at the top of the page.

There is no function to perform center alignment, bottom alignment, and equal division υ. Furthermore, the conventional formatting means in the direction of character strings has the disadvantage that, for example, it is dangerous to arrange left-aligned character strings and right-aligned character strings on the same line. This is right aligned.

This is because control codes for formatting that instruct center alignment, etc., exist as separate codes, and each control code is processed line by line.

In view of this, in the present invention, by processing one type of formatting control code called a filling line code, it is possible to universally realize top alignment, center alignment, bottom alignment, and equal allocation within a page in the line progression direction. The purpose is to provide a document editing device.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides an input device for inputting document data, a document data storage device for storing the document data input from the input device, and a document data storage device for storing the document data stored in the document data storage device. If the document data contains a fill line code that instructs to read and fill the position where that code exists with a blank line, a blank line is inserted at the position where that code exists, and the data layout The result is the page size,
- Performs processing to determine the line pitch of the blank line so that no empty area remains; at this time, if there are multiple filler line codes in one page, the blank line corresponding to each filler line code is It is composed of a layout processing device that performs processing to make the row pitches of the rows the same, an output buffer device that holds the processing results of the layout processing device, and an output device that outputs the contents of the output buffer device, and outputs the filling row code. This document editing device is characterized in that it formats data in the line progression direction through processing.

Effect: How document data including filler line codes is layout-processed using the above-described configuration. Here, the filling line code instructs to fill the empty area existing in the page with blank lines, and if there are multiple filling line codes in the page, the filling line code corresponds to the blank area corresponding to each filling line code. This is a layout control code that instructs the lines to have the same pitch.

Data such as characters, figures, etc. input from the input device and control data for controlling the layout thereof are stored as document data in a document data storage device.

The layout processing device reads out one page of document data from the document data storage device, and first processes the control data excluding the filling line code to perform data layout processing. Next, the layout processing device calculates the line pitch of blank lines allocated per one filled line code from the size in the line advancing direction of the area in the page where no data is arranged and the number of fillers included in that page, This value is used to perform data relayout processing. The layout processing result by the layout processing device is output to the output buffer device, and its contents are output to the output device.

By performing the above processing, formatting in the line advancing direction can be realized in a general-purpose manner by appropriately inputting the filling line code into the document data. For example, if a filler line code exists at the beginning of a page, it will be aligned to the bottom, if it exists at the beginning and end of the page, it will be aligned to the center, and if it exists at the end, it will be aligned to the top.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a block diagram in an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 10 is an input device, 2o is a document data storage device, 9o is an output sofa device, and 100 is an output device. 26 is a document data determination device, 3o is a data layout device, 4o is a filling line code counting device, 60 is a data height accumulation device, 60 is a filling line pitch calculating device, 70 is a temporary position storage device, and 80 is a final layout position. A layout processing device is constituted by each of these devices 26 to 8o as a finalizing device.

The document data determining device 26 reads document data from the document data storage device 20, determines its contents, and sends the data to a data layout device or instructs a fillability counting device to perform a count amplifier.

The data layout device 3Q includes the document data determination device 25
The Karauke layouts the set data according to the control code contained therein. Filling line code counting device 40
counts the number of filler line codes that appear in the data. The data height accumulation device 6o accumulates the size of the laid out data group in the row advancing direction (hereinafter referred to as data height).

The filled line pinch calculation device 60 calculates the line pinch of empty lines per one filled line code from the values indicated by the filled line code counter 40 and the data height accumulator 6o. - The layout position storage device TO stores the layout position of each data at the time when the control code other than the fill line code is processed. The final layout determining device 8o determines the final layout of the data from the results of the filling row pitch calculation device 60 and the contents of the temporary layout position storage device To.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart 1 showing the flow of data layout processing. The flow of processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 will be explained in detail below using the components shown in FIG. 1.

First, as initial settings, the values of the filling line code counting device 4Q and the data height accumulating device 50 are reset to zero.

Document data input from the input device 10 is stored in the document data storage device 20. The document data determination device 26
One page of document data is read from the document data storage device 20. It is determined that data for one page has been read when (b) the page break code is read (b).
) When the data to be read runs out (0) When the data height accumulation device 60 notifies that the cumulative value has reached the page size.

If the read data is a filling line code, the filling line code counting device 40 is notified of this, and if not, the data is passed to the data layout device 30.

If it is a filling line code, the filling line code counting device 40
receives an instruction from the document data determining device 25 and increments the current count value by one.

If it is not a filling line code, data layout device 3
o is independent of the coordinate system P of the page to be laid out, and locally performs layout processing on the data group received from the document data determination device 25 in a relative coordinate system with the reference point of the data group as the origin. When the layout process for a data group is completed, the space in the row direction occupied by the entire data group, ie, the data height, is determined, and this value is sent to the data height accumulator 5o and accumulated. Each data laid out by the data layout device 30 is composed of a relative coordinate value (=ry) in the coordinate system, a count value (=n) of the filling line code counting device 40 at that point, and a cumulative value of the data height accumulator 50. Three values (ry, n,
Y) represents the -temporal layout position,
- It is stored in the layout position storage device ENDO. During this process, when the cumulative value of the data height accumulating device 50 reaches the page size, the document data determining device 26 is notified of this fact.

When the document data determination device 26 determines that reading data for one page has been completed, it starts the filling line pitch calculation device 60 and checks the current status of the filling line code counting device 40 and the data height accumulating device 6Q. The line width (=1) per filled line is determined from the value.

Next, the final layout determining device 8Q calculates the coordinate system P from the line width per full row obtained from the contents of the temporary layout position storage device TO and the processing result of the filling pinch calculation device 60.
The final layer 1 position of each data in (7-rY+Y
+nxl) and its contents are stored in the output buffer device 90 along with the data. Finally, the contents of the output buffer device 9o are output to the output device 100.
