JPH064641A - Output processing method for document/graphic data - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high quality hard copy without damaging the character of real time at the time of displaying by plotting adding to document/graphic data and obtaining the hard copy. CONSTITUTION:Document/graphic data and plotting data are stored in a data storage part 1, document/graphic data is reduced by a reduction image conversion part 4 to be stored in a display memory part 5 as reduction image data and plotting data is added to it to be displayed on a display device 6 to obtain display having the character of real time. Besides, document/graphic data and plotting data are synthesized by a synthetic part 9 and printed by a printer 7 so as to obtain the high quality hard copy with data before reduction.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an output processing method for data including graphic data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various databases often include graphic data in addition to character data. For data input, a scanner or the like reads data into a storage device such as a computer, and for data output, it is transmitted by facsimile or a CRT display device. It displays images on the screen and prints on the printer.

Document / figure data read by a scanner has a higher resolution than a display device, and an original image is reduced in size to display the entire image of the document / figure. On the other hand, draw on this reduced image so that you can write with a pen or the like using a tablet or mouse,
I am also able to write supplements and explanations of materials.

To combine additional drawing data by the drawing input means of a tablet or a mouse with the reduced display image, the following 2
There is a street way.

(1) A method of synthesizing the original size data of the original material and the additional drawing data and displaying the reduced image through reduced image conversion.

This method is as shown in FIG. The data storage unit 1 stores the document / figure data read from the secondary image reading device 2 such as a scanner, and the additional drawing data from the drawing input device 3 such as a tablet or a mouse is combined with the document figure in the data storage unit 1. The composite data is reduced by the reduced image conversion unit 4 and saved in the display memory unit 5 as reduced image data to obtain a display on the display device 6. Further, the composite data is printed by the printer 7.

(2) The original size data of the original material is reduced and displayed through reduced image conversion, and additional drawing data is directly drawn and displayed / printed on the reduced image data.

This method is as shown in FIG. In the figure, drawing data from the drawing input device 3 is drawn on the reduced image data via the drawing unit 8, and the reduced image data is displayed and printed.

[0009]

In the above method (1), a reduced image conversion is required every time additional drawing is performed, and there is a problem that the image output lacks real-time property.

On the other hand, in the method (2), the real-time property is good because the image is directly drawn on the reduced image, but the image quality is poor because the reduced image data is used when a hard copy (printing) of the additionally drawn material is made. It will be a copy.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an output processing method for obtaining a high quality hard copy without impairing the real-time property at the time of additional drawing.

[0012]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention stores document / graphic data read from a secondary storage device and drawing data by drawing input means,
The document / figure data is stored as reduced image data after reduced image conversion, the drawing data is additionally drawn to the reduced image data and displayed on a display device, and the document to be stored is stored.
It is characterized in that the graphic data and the drawing data are combined into hard copy data.

[0013]

The additional drawing data is directly drawn on the reduced image data to obtain a display with real-time property. Further, the additional drawing data is stored together with the document / graphic data before being reduced, and both data are combined with the hard copy to obtain a high quality hard copy.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is an output processing procedure diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The data storage unit 1 stores the document / graphics data extracted from the secondary storage unit 2 and the drawing input unit 3
The drawing data from is stored.

The document / figure data is converted into a reduced image by the reduced image conversion unit 4, stored in the display memory 5 as reduced image data, and displayed on the display device 6.

The drawing data is taken into the drawing unit 8, the drawing unit 8 performs additional drawing on the reduced image data, and is displayed together as an additional portion of the reduced image data.

Further, the drawing data and the document / graphic data in the data storage unit 1 are combined by the combining unit 9, and the combined data is printed by the printer 7.

Therefore, the additional drawing is added to the reduced image data for displaying the document / figure, and the reduced image conversion processing does not intervene in the additional drawing, and the display can be performed in real time.

Further, when printing a document / graphic, the document / graphic data stored in the data storage unit 1 is printed by synthesizing the drawing data, and since both data have not been subjected to the reduction processing, a good image quality is obtained. You can get a hard copy of.

The display device 6 and the printer 7 are not limited to the direct data output, and the same effect can be obtained as an output means of data transmitted by a facsimile or a modem.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, documents,
For additional drawing display on graphic data, additional drawing is performed on the reduced image data of the document / graphic data, and for the hard copy of additional drawing, the document / graphic data before reduction is combined with the drawing data to obtain a hard copy. Therefore, there is an effect that a high quality hard copy can be obtained while displaying in real time.
