FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor. In this embodiment, only the configuration necessary for printing a frame with wavy ruled lines (hereinafter abbreviated as wavy ruled lines) will be described.

In FIG. 2, 1 is a vertical wavy line generation section, 2 is a horizontal wavy line generation section, 3 is a ruled line position information output section, 4 is a left/right selection section, 5 is an up/down selection section, 6 is a vertical wavy line right filling section, 7 is the vertical wavy line left filled part, 8 is the horizontal wavy line upper filled part, 9 is the horizontal wavy line bottom filled part, 10 is the vertical wavy line length control part, 11 is the horizontal wavy line length control part, 12 is the vertical and horizontal line combination part, and 13 is the ruled line data. It is a generation unit, and these are CPU, ROM, RAM, I/O
It consists of a microcomputer consisting of ports. Each component will be explained in detail below.

The vertical wavy line generating section 1 generates a print image of vertical wavy ruled lines (see the left diagram in FIG. 3(a)). The horizontal wavy line generation unit 2 generates a print image of horizontal wavy ruled lines (see FIG. 3(b)
). The ruled line position information output unit 3 outputs a frame-shaped print image at a predetermined position from the vertical wave ruled line print image generated from the vertical wave line generating unit 1 and the horizontal wave ruled line print image generated from the horizontal wave line generating unit 2. When printing, ruled line position information indicating the position of the printed image among the four corners of the frame where the wavy ruled line to be printed is located is output.

Based on the ruled line position information output from the ruled line position information output unit 3, the left/right selection unit 4 selects whether to fill out the right side or the left side of the print image of the vertically wavy ruled line generated from the vertical wavy line generating unit 1. Choose whether to fill it in or not. In other words, it is selected whether to generate a pattern in which the dots on the right side of the vertical ruled line are turned on or a pattern in which the dots on the left side of the longitudinal wave ruled line are turned on. Based on the ruled line position information output from the ruled line position information output unit 3, the upper and lower selection unit 5 selects
Regarding the print image of the horizontal wavy ruled line generated by the horizontal wavy line generation section 2, it is selected whether to fill in the upper side or the lower side. In other words, it is selected whether to generate a pattern in which the dots in the upper part of the horizontal wave ruled line are turned on or a pattern in which the dots in the lower part of the horizontal wave ruled line are turned on.

The vertical wavy line right filling section 6 fills in the right side of the vertical wavy ruled line when the right side of the print image of the vertical wavy ruled line is selected by the left/right selection section 4 (see FIG. 3).
a)). In other words, a pattern is generated in which the dots on the right side of the vertical ruled line are turned on. The vertical wavy line left filling section 7 fills in the left side of the vertical wavy ruled line when the right and left selection section 4 selects to fill in the left side of the print image of the vertical wavy ruled line. In other words, a pattern is generated in which the dots on the left side of the vertical ruled line are turned on.

The horizontal wavy line upper filling section 8 fills in the upper side of the horizontal wavy ruled line when the upper/lower selection section 5 selects to fill in the upper side of the printed image of the horizontal wavy ruled line. In other words, a pattern is generated in which the dots above the horizontally wavy ruled line are turned on. The horizontal wavy line lower filling section 9 fills in the lower side of the horizontal wavy ruled line when the upper and lower selection section 5 selects to fill in the lower side of the printed image of the horizontal wavy ruled line (FIG. 3(b)
)reference). In other words, a pattern is generated in which the dots below the horizontal wave ruled line are turned on.

The vertical wavy line length control section 10 controls the length of the print image of the vertical wavy ruled line at each of the four corners of the frame shape so that the vertical wavy ruled line does not protrude from the horizontal wavy ruled line until it comes into contact with the horizontal wavy ruled line. That is, in the upper left corner or the upper right corner of the frame shape, the logic between the vertical wavy ruled line pattern generated by the vertical wavy line generation section 1 and the pattern in which the dots in the lower part are turned on by the horizontal wavy line bottom filling section 9 is determined. By taking the product (AND), the length of the printed image of vertically wavy ruled lines is controlled (Figure 4
(see (a)). In addition, in the lower left corner or lower right corner of the frame shape, the logical product of the vertical wavy ruled line pattern generated by the vertical wavy line generation section 1 and the pattern in which the dots in the upper part are turned on by the horizontal wavy line upper filling section 8 is performed. The length of the printed image of the longitudinally wavy ruled line is controlled by taking the length of the vertically wavy ruled line.

The horizontal wavy line length control unit 11 controls the length of the printed image of the horizontal wavy ruled line at each of the four corners of the frame shape so that the horizontal wavy ruled line does not protrude from the vertical wavy ruled line until it comes into contact with the vertical wavy ruled line. That is, in the upper left corner or lower left corner of the frame shape, the logical product of the horizontal wavy ruled line pattern generated by the horizontal wavy line generation section 2 and the pattern in which the dots on the right side are turned on by the vertical wavy line right filling section 6 is performed. The length of the printed image of the horizontally wavy ruled line is controlled by controlling the length of the printed image (see FIG. 4(b)). In addition, in the upper right corner or lower right corner of the frame shape, the logical product of the horizontal wavy ruled line pattern generated by the horizontal wavy line generation section 2 and the pattern in which the dots on the left side are turned on by the vertical wavy line left filling section 7 is performed. The length of the printed image of the horizontal wavy ruled line is controlled by taking the horizontal wavy ruled line.

The vertical line/horizontal line combining section 12 includes a vertical wavy line length control section 1
a printed image of a vertical wavy line with a length controlled by 0;
The print image of the horizontal wavy line having the length controlled by the horizontal wavy line length control unit 11 is combined to determine the print image of each of the four corners of the frame shape. In other words, the print image of each of the four corners of the frame shape is determined by taking the logical sum (OR) of patterns of vertical and horizontal ruled lines whose lengths are controlled (FIG. 4(c)).
reference).

The ruled line data generating section 13 outputs the frame-shaped ruled line data for which the print image of each of the four corners has been determined by the vertical line/horizontal line combining section 12 to a dot printer (not shown).
As a result, frame-shaped wavy ruled lines are printed at predetermined positions.

This process will be explained using the case of the upper left corner as an example. In the case of the upper left corner, first, the vertical pattern and horizontal pattern are developed separately. Next, based on the pattern shown on the left side of FIG. 3(b), a pattern shown on the right side of FIG. 3(b) in which the dots below the line are turned on is generated. To generate this pattern, check the dots vertically starting from the top, and when you find the first dot that is on, set the dots below it to on. Similarly, Figure 3
Based on the pattern shown on the left in FIG. 3A, a pattern in which dots on the right side of the line are turned on, shown on the right in FIG. 3A, is generated. Next, regarding the horizontal line, the logical product of the pattern shown on the left side of FIG. 3(b) and the pattern shown on the right side of FIG. 3(a) is calculated (see FIG. 4(b)). Similarly, for the vertical line, the logical product of the pattern shown on the left side of FIG. 3(a) and the pattern shown on the right side of FIG. 3(b) is calculated (see FIG. 4(a)). Finally, the pattern shown on the right side of Figure 4(a) and the pattern shown on the right side of Figure 4(a)
By performing a logical OR with the pattern shown on the right in b), the pattern in the upper left corner is created (see FIG. 4(c)).

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a pattern of wavy ruled lines in the upper left corner. In the figure, A indicates the head width of the dot printer, FIG. 5(a) shows generated print image data, and FIG. 5(b) shows developed print image data.

Like this upper left corner, the upper right, lower left, and lower right corners can be created in the same way. for example,
In the case of the lower right, create a pattern that turns on the left side of the line based on the left diagram of Figure 3 (a), and a pattern that turns on the area above the line based on the left diagram of Figure 3 (b). After that, a pattern can be generated by performing the same processing as for the upper left corner.

Next, the contents of the processing operation of the CPU 2 will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when a frame shape is printed with wavy ruled lines at a predetermined position, first, the vertical wavy line generation section 1 generates the vertical wavy ruled lines (step 21), and then the horizontal wavy line generation section 2 generates the horizontal wavy ruled lines. (step 22). next,
Depending on which part of the four corners it is (Step 23)
, the following processing is performed.

That is, at the top left, the right side of the vertical wave ruled line is filled in (step 24), and the lower side of the horizontal wave ruled line is filled in (step 25). At the top right, the left side of the vertical wave ruled line is filled in (step 26), and the lower side of the horizontal wave ruled line is filled in (step 27).
). When it is at the lower left, the right side of the vertical wave ruled line is filled in (step 28), and the upper side of the horizontal wave ruled line is filled in (step 29). At the bottom right, the left side of the vertical wave ruled line is filled in (step 30), and the upper side of the horizontal wave ruled line is filled in (step 31).

Thereafter, the length of the print image pattern of the longitudinal wavy ruled lines is controlled by the longitudinal wavy line length control section 10. That is, the logical product of the vertical wave ruled line pattern and the horizontal wave ruled line pattern with dots turned on is taken (step 32).
). Furthermore, the horizontal wavy line length control section 11 controls the length of the horizontal wavy ruled line in the printed image pattern. That is, the logical product of the horizontal wave ruled line pattern and the vertical wave ruled line pattern with dots turned on is calculated (step 33).

Then, the vertical line/horizontal line synthesis section 12 synthesizes the print image of the vertical wave ruled line and the print image of the horizontal wave ruled line, and determines the print image of each of the four corners of the frame shape. That is, the patterns of vertical and horizontal ruled lines are logically summed to determine the print image of each of the four corners of the frame (step 34).

In this way, when printing a frame shape with wavy ruled lines, by controlling the lengths of the vertical wavy ruled lines and the horizontal wavy ruled lines, it is possible to prevent protrusion or gaps from occurring at the four corners.

[0032]

According to the present invention, when printing a frame shape with wavy lines, at each of the four corners of the frame shape, the vertical wavy lines should not protrude from the horizontal wavy lines, and the horizontal wavy lines should not protrude from the vertical wavy lines. Since we have controlled the length of the printed image of vertical wavy lines and horizontal wavy lines, respectively, to prevent vertical wavy lines and horizontal wavy lines from protruding at the four corners, or gaps between vertical wavy lines and horizontal wavy lines. can be prevented.
