Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device that divides a rectangular frame on a screen into two
Concerning an interactive operation method when allocating uniformly in dimensional directions.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the method for evenly allocating rectangular frames was to arrange multiple rectangular form frames within a specified range on the layout screen, as described on page 23 of Standard Form Printing in the Hitachi Document Word Processor 5 UPER 3000 Operation Manual Enhanced Functions. There was a method to allocate the files evenly in a specified vertical or horizontal direction.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, since the process was only to allocate all rectangular frames specified on the screen equally in the vertical or horizontal direction, for example, multiple If you instruct rectangular frames to be evenly distributed vertically, the rectangular frames that were on the same row will be evenly distributed vertically, and the shape of the row will be distorted. There is a problem in that the specified rectangular frames are allocated in a different arrangement from their original form, such as when the rectangular frames are arranged evenly in the horizontal direction and the shape of the columns is distorted.

If a plurality of target rectangular frames can be allocated evenly both vertically and horizontally, it becomes possible to evenly allocate them while maintaining the original arrangement.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to equally allocate a plurality of rectangular frames specified in a specified size both in the vertical and horizontal directions while maintaining their arrangement on a plane.

[Means to solve the problem]

” The second objective will be achieved by the following means.

An input means for inputting data such as characters and figures using a mouse or keyboard, a storage means for storing the input data, a display means for displaying the data stored in the storage section, and a display means for displaying the data range on the screen. In a document creation device equipped with a rectangular frame editing means for setting/editing a rectangular frame that is the outer periphery of a rectangle to be displayed for purposes such as indicating When doing so, you can display a frame circumscribing the specified rectangular frame, and specify the allocated size by changing the size of the circumscribing frame.
Divide rectangular frames with the same coordinate values into one set, and allocate these sets equally in the X direction within the specified size. Also, set the Y coordinate of a specified point such as the upper left point or center point of the rectangular frame. By grouping rectangular frames with the same value as one set and allocating these groups equally in the Y direction within the specified size, it is possible to evenly allocate the rectangular frames at equal intervals in the two-dimensional direction with the specified size. Possible rectangular frame equal allocation means, the length of the circumscribing frame in the X direction before change, and the length of the specified point in the X direction from the upper left point of the circumscribing frame, such as the two left points or the center point of each rectangular frame. Assign rectangular frames so that the ratio is saved even after changing the circumscribing frame, and also calculate the length of the circumscribing frame in the Y direction before the change and the upper left of the circumscribing frame at a specified point such as the upper left point or center point of each rectangular frame. Y from point
Rectangular frame equal allocation means that can evenly allocate rectangular frames in two-dimensional directions at the same ratio with a specified size by allocating rectangular frames so that the ratio of length in the direction is preserved even after changing the circumscribing frame. This is achieved by providing the following.

[Effect]

When specifying multiple rectangular frames and allocating them evenly within the specified size, the rectangular frame equal allocation means displays the frame circumscribing the specified rectangular frame, changes the size of the allocated rectangular frame, and changes the size of the circumscribing frame. By specifying this, the rectangular frames with the same X coordinate value of the specified point such as the upper left point or center point of the rectangular frame are grouped as one group, and the groups are evenly distributed in the X direction within the specified size. Allocation, and roughly divide rectangular frames with the same Y coordinate value of the specified point such as the upper left point or center point of the rectangular frame as one group, and allocate these groups evenly in the X direction within the specified size. By doing so, rectangular frames of the specified size are evenly allocated at equal intervals in the two-dimensional direction. Also, the ratio of the length in the X direction of the circumscribing frame before the change to the length in the X direction from the upper left point of the circumscribing frame of a specified point such as the two left points or the center point of each rectangular frame is changed after changing the circumscribing frame. Also, the length of the circumscribing frame in the X direction before the change, and the length of the specified point such as the upper left point or center point of each rectangular frame in the X direction from the upper left point of the circumscribing frame. Allocate rectangular frames in equal proportions so that the ratio of size is preserved even after changing the circumscribing frame.

(14, -5) indicates the upper left coordinate of the basic area frame, (146) indicates the lower right coordinate of the basic area frame, (14-7) indicates the upper left coordinate of the rectangular frame, and (11-8) indicates the lower right coordinate of the rectangular frame. .

Next, the editing process shown in step 406 in FIG.
This will be explained using figures. First, the input instruction from the operator is determined (step 501), and if it is determined that the instruction is an instruction to evenly allocate a rectangular frame, an evenly allocated rectangular frame process is performed (step 502), and if any other input is If so, the specified editing process is performed (step 503).

Next, the equal allocation process according to the present invention shown in step 502 of FIG. 5 will be explained using FIG. 1.

First, it is determined whether a rectangular frame has been designated as a plurality of targets (step 101), and if multiple targets have not been designated, abnormal sound processing is performed (step 122), and the process exits. If multiple targets are specified, the rectangular frames with the same value for the upper left X coordinate or the left Y coordinate are set as the same group. Perform initial processing such as calculating ratios (step 102)
. Next, a condition setting screen is displayed (Step 03).

An example of the condition setting screen is shown in FIG. The condition setting screen displays options for equal allocation direction and equal allocation method, and allows the operator to specify equal allocation in the vertical, horizontal, or horizontal and vertical directions. It is possible to specify the allocation. Step 104) requests input to the input unit (1), performs input determination,
The state of the specified method and direction is set in a flag (step 105). Next, clear the condition setting screen (step 1
06), the circumscribing frame of the rectangular frame designated as the target is displayed (step 107). In FIG. 12(a), a rectangular frame before the equal allocation instruction is shown by a chain line. Further, FIG. 12(b) shows an example in which a circumscribing frame is displayed on a rectangular frame designated as an object. The circumscribing frame is as shown by the thick dashed line in the figure. The size of the displayed circumscribing frame can be changed by the operator, and rectangular frames are evenly allocated in the size specified by this circumscribing frame. Next, request input to the input section (]) (step 108).
, performs input judgment (step 109), and presses the mouse (12)
If the instruction is to change the circumscribing frame coordinates using the cursor key (7), etc., the circumscribing frame coordinates changing process is performed (step 1).
10). FIG. 12(c) shows a display example of the circumscribed frame after the change. Also, when execution or specification is instructed, create temporary display data in the temporary display data management table (1100) (step 111), and when execution is instructed,
After updating the values of the temporary display data management table in the rectangular frame management table (1000) (step 119), display processing of evenly allocated rectangular frames is performed (step 12).
1) Exit the process. When specified, the state in which the rectangular frames are evenly allocated is displayed in the temporary display data management table (
Temporary display is performed according to the temporary display data in step 1100) (step 115). An example of a temporary display is shown in Figure 12 (d
). Next, request input to the input unit (1) (step 116), perform input determination (step 117),
When cancellation is instructed, the temporary equal allocation display is deleted (step 118), and the condition setting screen display process (step) 0
Return to 3). When it is determined that execution has been instructed in step 1]7, set the value of the temporary display data management table in the rectangular frame management table and update it (step 1]-9), then
A rectangular frame is displayed (step 121), and the process exits. FIG. 12(e) shows an example in which the rectangular frames in the state of FIG. 12(a) are evenly allocated. If it is determined in step 117 that another key has been input, the process returns to wait for input (step 108) after abnormal sound processing (step 113). If it is determined in step 109 that cancellation has been instructed, circumscribing frame deletion processing (step 112) is performed and the process exits; if the input is any other, abnormal sound processing is performed (step 11.3), and the input Return to wait (step]-08).

Next, the initial processing for rectangular frame equal allocation shown in step 102 of FIG. 1 will be explained using FIG. 6(a). First, the ratio of the existing position of each rectangular frame to the circumscribed frame is determined and set in the ratio table (1110) (step 601). X
The direction ratio is the ratio of the size obtained by subtracting the upper left X coordinate of the circumscribing frame from the X coordinate of the designated point of the rectangular frame, divided by the X coordinate of the circumscribing frame, and is set in the X direction ratio (1111) of the ratio table. Y
Similar processing is performed for the direction, and the Y direction ratio (1112) in the ratio table is set. Next, the coarse fraction is processed (
In step 602), the rectangular frame numbers (index values of the rectangular frame management table) are grouped into groups for each rectangular frame in which the X coordinate value of the designated point such as the upper left point or center point of the rectangular frame is the same;
The grouped information is set in the group table and the group index table. Then, for the group, a process is performed in which the rectangular frame numbers are rearranged in the index table in ascending order of the X coordinate value. Similar processing is performed in the Y direction as well. Using this grouped data, the positions at which rectangular frames that are grouped later are to be allocated at equal intervals are obtained.

Here, the group holds the subsequent data, the group is the table (1130) and the group is the index table (114, O
) will be explained using FIG. 11(c). Groups are set in the table (1130) as one set of rectangular frames with the same X coordinate value of the specified point, and set in order from the beginning as 0 silk, 1 coarse, 2nd, etc. To go. Y of the specified point! ! The same applies to rectangular frames with the same l standard value. When setting data in a table, a group uses a table pointer (1131). The group index table (1140) holds the first index value (114, 1), the last index value (1142), and the first number (], ], 43) of each group in the group table. When a set is to store data in an index table, the set uses an index table pointer (1144,
) is used. The content of each table is an example of data after the grouping process of rectangular frames having the same upper left point X coordinate value as shown in FIG. 11(d). Note that the numbers written inside the rectangular frames shown in FIG. 11(d) indicate the numbers of the rectangular frames.

An example of the processing of the group shown in step 602 of FIG. 6(a) will be explained using FIG. 6(b). Here, the group classifies the table (1130) as CLASS $TBL.

For grouping, use index table (114,0) as CLASS
$ TNDX $ TBL, group is index stave/l/(7) S$IND first index (1141)
, the last index (1142) is E $ I ND, the first number (1143) is CLASS the table pointer (1131) for the N02 group $ PRT , and the index table pointer (114, 4) is CLASS for the group N02
$INDX $PTR.

Set the rectangular frame management table (1000) to FRA$TBL.

Set the upper left X coordinate (1101) of the rectangular frame management table to LT$
Represented as X. Here, an example is shown in which a set of rectangular frames having the same upper left X coordinate value is found, and the maximum number of rectangular frames is 256. First, set the counter I (1122) to 0 (
Step 603). The group sets the first index value O in the index table (0), and the group sets O in the index table pointer (step 604).

The group sets the first index value O to (0) of the table, and the group sets O to the table pointer (step 605). All the numbers of the rectangular frame from the next number to the last number of the king, whose upper left X coordinate is the same as the rectangular frame of number ■, are set in the table in order (steps 606, 607, 608. 609, 610).The group with the last number of the group sets the index value of the table to the last index (1142) of the index table (step 611).Then, the group has not yet been set in the table. The smallest number among the numbers is set as the number of the next group, and the group is set in the first index (114, 1) of the group table and the group index table (steps 612, 613, 61/I, 615).
, 616). By repeating this process, the groups are set in the table in an orderly manner, such as the first set of numbers, the second set of numbers, etc., and the groups are set in the index table with the first number of the first set. The storage position and the storage position of the last number of the first set and the first number of the first set, the storage position number of the first number of the second set, the storage position number of the last number of the second set, and the storage position number of the second set of numbers. Set the first number in good order. A similar table is also used in the Y direction, and grouping is performed in the same manner.

Next, the equal allocation flag setting process shown in step 1.05 of FIG. 1 will be explained using FIG. 7. The input information is determined (step 701), and when it is determined that vertical equal allocation has been instructed, the equal allocation flag (112
0) to indicate the vertical direction.Step 702) When it is determined that equal allocation in the horizontal direction has been instructed, set the equal allocation flag (1120) to a value indicating the horizontal direction.Step 703), Equal allocation in the vertical and horizontal directions When it is determined that the instruction has been given, the equal division flag (1120) is set to a value indicating the vertical and horizontal directions (step 704). Next, the input information is determined (step 705), and if equal allocation with equal intervals is specified, a value indicating equal interval designation is set in the equal allocation method flag (1121).Steps 1 to 706), etc. When equal allocation of the ratio is instructed, the equal allocation method flag (11
21), a value indicating equal ratio designation is set from 1 to 1 (step 707).

Next, the temporary display data creation process shown in step 111 of FIG. 1 will be explained using FIG. 8(a). The state of the equal division flag (1120) is determined (step 801), and if the value indicates vertical, vertical equal division data creation processing is performed (step 802), and if the value indicates horizontal, horizontal equal division data is created. A creation process is performed (step 803), and if the value indicates vertical and horizontal directions, an equal division data creation process in the vertical and horizontal directions is performed (
Step 8o4).

Here, a temporary display data management table (1100) stores the coordinates after uniform allocation with the specified size.
This will be explained using FIG. 11(a). The temporary display data management table (1100) contains the upper left X coordinate (11
01), the same y coordinate (1102), the lower right X coordinate (1103)
), the same y coordinate (11,04) is stored.

Next, the vertical and horizontal equally divided data creation process shown in step 804 of FIG. 8(a) will be explained using FIG. 8(b). The value of the equal division method flag (1121,) is determined (step 805), and when it is determined that the interval is equal, the X direction equally spaced equal division data creation process is performed (step 806), and the X direction equally spaced equal division data creation process is performed. (Step 807
). Further, when it is determined that the ratio is equal, an equal proportion equal division data creation process in the X direction is performed (step 808), and an equal ratio equal division data creation process in the X direction is performed (step 809).

Next, the X-direction equal proportion equal allocation data creation process shown in step 808 of FIG. 8(b) will be explained using FIG. 8(c). After instructing equal allocation, the X coordinate 19 is calculated by adding the X coordinate of the upper left of the changed circumscribing frame to the X size of the changed circumscribing frame multiplied by the ratio, step 810), and the data management table for temporary display is set 1 to 1. (Step 8
11). Similar processing is performed in the X direction as well. Figure 15(b) shows an example in which the rectangular frame created as shown in Figure 15(a) is evenly distributed while maintaining the ratio of the upper left point position.
FIG. 15(c) shows an example in which the ratio of center point positions is maintained and the center points are evenly allocated. Here, the modified circumscribing frame is as shown by the solid thick line.

Next, the X-direction equally spaced equal allocation data creation process shown in step 806 of FIG. 8(b) will be explained using FIG. 8(d). First, after changing the allocation width of each group, divide the circumscribed frame
