FIG. 6 shows the state of the internal code of the ruled line data pattern shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 6 shows that the space code r 2121J is set at the cursor position and to the left of it, and the ruled line external character codes r 0IOIJ and r 0131J are set up and down and to the right. ing.

The flowchart in FIG. 7 shows the entire procedure of automatically creating a ruled line connection pattern in this embodiment.

First, in step Sl, it is determined what the input key data from the keyboard KBII is. If the soft key is "Create ruled line", the process advances to step S2.

If it is a "save" soft key, the process advances to step S3, and if it is any other key, the process advances to step S4.

In step S2, the character codes on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the display position of the cursor displayed on the display device (CRT) 10 are determined, and if there are ruled external character data hoods in two or more places, the process advances to step S5; The external character data for the ruled line is 2
If the number of locations is less than 1 (that is, 1 or less), step S1
Return to

In step S3, all the external character data already registered in the external character data area 13a are output to the floppy disk drive (FDD) 12, and the FDD, which is an external magnetic storage medium, is output.
D, and return to step S1.

The other processes in step S4 are not particularly related to the present invention, so a description of the processes will be omitted.

In step S5, a process for creating a ruled line connection pattern, which will be described later, is performed, and the process proceeds to step S6.

In step S6, the ruled line external character data pattern created in step S5 is displayed at the cursor position on the display device (CRT) 10, and the process proceeds to step S7. In step S7, the ruled line external character code obtained in step S5 is set to the character code at the position indicated by the cursor in the document information area, and the process is terminated.

The flowchart in FIG. 8 is the step S5 shown in FIG.
The details of the ruled line pattern creation process are shown below.

In this process, a ruled line connected private character data pattern at the position indicated by the cursor displayed on the CRTIO is created and registered in the private character data area. Each step will be explained in detail below.

First, in step 5501, the character code of one character above the cursor position displayed on the display device (CRT) 10 is determined, and if this character code is a ruled line external character code, the process advances to step 5502, and this character code If is not a ruled line external character code, the process advances to step 5504.

In step 5502, the custom character code one character above the cursor position is searched from the custom character data area 13a in FIG.
Extract the corresponding external character pattern for display. At the same time,
The external character pattern for printing is also searched from the external character data area 13a, and the process advances to step 5503.

In step 5503, the dot pattern data obtained by extending the dot pattern in the bottom row of the display custom character pattern obtained in step 5502 downward to the center is created with the custom character code 00.
00 in the unregistered display external character pattern area 16. Similarly, the printing external character pattern is set in the unregistered printing external character pattern area 17, which is dot pattern data extending downward to the center, and the process proceeds to step 5504.

In step 5504, the character code of one character below the position indicated by the cursor is determined, and if this character code is a ruled line code, the process advances to step 5505, and if this character code is not a ruled line code, the process advances to step 5507.

In step 5505, similarly to step 5502, a search is made for the display and print external character pattern of the ruled line external character code one character below, and the process proceeds to step 5506. Step 5506
Now, set the dot pattern data obtained by extending the top row dot pattern for display and printing of the external character pattern searched in step 5505 upwards to the center in the external character pattern area for display and printing in the unregistered external character data area. , proceed to step 5507.

In step 5507, the character code of the character one character to the left indicated by the cursor is determined, and if this character code is a ruled line code, the process proceeds to step 3508, and if this character code is not a ruled line code, the process proceeds to step 5510.

In step 5508, as in step 5502, the left 1
A search is made for a character pattern for displaying and printing the ruled line character code of the character, and the process proceeds to step 5509. step 550
In step 9, pattern data obtained by extending the dot pattern in the leftmost column for display and printing of the external character pattern searched in step 5508 to the left to the center is set in the external character pattern area for display and printing in the unregistered external character data area. Then, the process proceeds to step 5510.

In step 551O, the character code of one character to the right of the position indicated by the cursor is determined, and if this character code is a ruled line code, the process advances to step 5511, and if this character code is not a ruled line code, the process advances to step 5513.

In step 5511, similarly to step 5502, a search is made for the display and print external character pattern of the ruled line external character code one character to the right, and the process proceeds to step 5512. Step 551
2, the dot pattern data obtained by extending the leftmost dot pattern row for display and printing of the external character pattern searched in step 5511 to the left to the center is used as the external character pattern for display and printing in the unregistered external character data area. The area is set, and the process advances to step 5513.

In Step S5]3, an unused ruled line external character code is detected in the external character data area 13a, an area with the external character code 0000 is searched for in the external character data area 13a, and the first detected unregistered Set the above unused ruled line external character code in the external character code area and return to the main program.

dan = 1 giant four (direct) In this embodiment described above, a ruled line connection pattern is created at the position indicated by the cursor, but the area where the ruled lines in the document information are connected is automatically created. Search,
The ruled line connection pattern for each area may be automatically generated.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the created external character pattern is created on the memory, but it may also be stored directly on an external magnetic storage medium.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to create a ruled line connection pattern used for connecting ruled lines on the document editing screen, and multiple unregistered ruled line connection patterns can be created. It is also possible to automatically create them all at once, which improves work efficiency.
