Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for displaying a character string such as an identification name on a figure displayed on an output device such as a display or a plotter.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a conventional character display method. In the figure, (1) is a character end determination process, (2) is a character display position setting process, and (6) is a character display process for displaying a character string on an output device. FIG. 5 is a front view of an output device showing an example of display using a conventional character display method.
In the figure, (7b) is an output device such as a display or plotter, (8a) and (8b) are the displayed figures, and (9o
) # (9d) is the figure (8a) l respectively
This is a character string such as an identifier added to (8b).

Next, the process for setting the 0 character display position (
In step 2), set the display position of the character strings (9a) and (9a), and in character display processing (6), set the character string (9c) + (
96) and repeats the process until the end of the 0 character determination process (1). When displaying columns, there is a problem that the strings overlap as shown in FIG. 5, making the strings difficult to read.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a character display method that checks the duplication of character strings and changes the display position of the character strings.

[Means to solve the problem]

The character display method according to the present invention stores display positions of character strings, and when character strings overlap, changes the display position of the overlapping character strings.

[Effect]

The character display method in this invention checks the duplication of character strings to be displayed using a character display type g check table, and changes the display position of the character string using a character display position table.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a flowchart showing a character display method. In the figure, (1) * (2) + (6) is the same as that shown in the conventional example of FIG. 5, so its explanation will be omitted.

(3) is a displayable area setting process that sets the displayable area when changing the display position of a character string, (4) is a determination process for checking for duplicate character strings, and (5) is when character strings are duplicated. This is a process of changing the display position of.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the output device showing an example of display using the character display method. In the figure, (c) is an output device such as a display or plotter, (8a> and (8b) are the displayed figures, and (91L) (9b) is the figure (8a), respectively.
This is a character string such as an identifier added to e (sb).

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a character display duplication check table based on the character display method. In the figure, (10 is an output device (
7a) A character display duplication check table with a size corresponding to the coordinate value, (lla), (llb) c) A pointer indicating information on the character string to be displayed.

Next, the operation will be explained.

In the character display position setting process (2), the display start point lx, y and display direction of the character string to be displayed are set in the character display position table as shown in the table below. Displayable area setting process (3
), set the displayable area of the character string based on the size of the shapes (8a) l (8b) as shown in the table below.

In the duplicate check determination process (4), another figure (8
Check whether the pointer (IIIL) of 0 is stored, and if the pointer (lla) is stored, perform the display position change process (5) and change the display start point coordinates within the displayable area shown in the table below. Change X and Y and repeat the duplication check judgment (4).

If the pointer (l1m) of another figure (8a) is not stored in the character display position table duplication check determination process (4), the character string is displayed on the output device (70) in the character display process (6), The character end determination process (1) is repeated until the end of the character.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, when displaying character strings, this invention checks for duplication of character strings and changes the display position of the character strings, which prevents duplication of characters and provides an easy-to-read display. effective.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

1 to 3 show a character display method according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1 is a flowchart, FIG. 2 is a front view of an output device showing a display example, and FIG. 3 is a character display overlapped display method. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a conventional character display method, and FIG. 5 is a front view of an output device showing an example of display using the conventional character display method. In the figure, (1) is a character end determination process, (2) is a character display position setting process, (3) is a displayable area setting process, (4> is a duplicate check determination process, and (5) is a display Position change processing, (6) is character display processing, ('I&) is output device, (8&) # (8b) is figure, (91L)
t (9b) is a character string, α0 is a character display duplication check tape /L/, (lla). (11b) is a pointer. In addition, in the figures, the same symbols indicate the same or equivalent parts〇

Claims (1)

[Claims] A character display method that displays character strings such as identifiers on figures displayed on a display or plotter, which stores the display position of the character string, checks for duplication, and changes the character string display position. method.
