However, there were problems such as it was difficult to make fine adjustments and it was necessary to be very careful when pointing on the tablet.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. It records the coordinates on paper, displays the area position and size numerically, and also displays the area position and size by inputting the numerical values. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a typesetting system which can change the size and further create an area by inputting the position and size numerically.

[Means for solving problems]

The typesetting system according to the present invention includes an area change command decoding unit that displays the position and size of an area as a numerical value on a display device, and changes the position and size of the area by inputting the numerical value from a keyboard; and an area creation numerical command decoder for creating an area by numerically inputting the position and size of the area.

[Effect]

The area change command decoding unit in this invention displays the position and size of the area numerically on the display device based on the data stored in the command decoding data storage unit, and displays the area position and size based on the numerical value input from the keyboard. The area creation numerical command decoding part stores data in the command decoding data storage part as the position and size of the area based on the numerical value entered from the keyboard. .

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the same parts as in FIG. 5 are indicated by the same reference numerals. In FIG. This is an area change command decoding unit that decodes the command to change the area in which the manuscript data is to be formatted, among the commands issued.

Next, the operation will be explained. First, when a command for formatting the manuscript data stored in the text data storage section 10 is input from the keyboard 1 or the tablet 2, the command decoding section 5. Area creation command decoder 6. The area creation numerical command decoding section 16 and the area change command decoding section 17 decode the formatting instruction command and store the decoding results in the command decoding data storage section 7. Here, when a command for determining the area in which the manuscript data is to be formatted is input as a typesetting instruction command by pointing within a rectangular range representing the area paper surface on the tablet 2, the area creation command decoding unit 6 teeth,
The point-input command is decoded and stored in the command decoding data storage section 7 as data on the position and size of the area.

Next, when a command to change the area is input as a typesetting command from the tablet 2, the area change command decoder 1
7 takes out the necessary data from the command decoding data storage section 7, takes the coordinates on the paper, and reads the area creation command decoding section 17.
The area position and size data stored in the command decoding data storage unit 7 is converted into coordinate values, the values are displayed on the display device 3, and the input area position and size is then displayed on paper. The numerical value expressed as the coordinate value is decoded, the decoded data is replaced with the data stored by the area creation command decoding section 17, and the data is stored in the command decoding data storage section 7.

Furthermore, when a command to determine an area is input as a formatting command using numerical values representing the position and size of the area, the area creation numerical command decoding section 16 reads the necessary data from the command decoding data storage section 7. Take it out, take the coordinates on the paper, decipher the input numerical values as coordinate values,
The decoded data is stored in the command decoded data storage section 7.

Next, when a command to change the area is input as a formatting command, the area change command decoding unit 17 operates in the same manner as described above. FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of the operation. Here, if a formatting command for changing the area is not inputted by the operator, the area changing command decoding unit 17 does not operate.

Next, an example of the operation of the area change command decoder 17 will be described below.

When a command to change the area is input as a typesetting command (ST-6), the area change command decoding unit 17 is activated. , the origin is the upper left corner of the paper, the horizontal axis is to the right, the vertical axis is downward, the horizontal length of the paper is 500, the vertical length is 800, and the command decoding data storage unit 7
From the area data stored in , the horizontal coordinate of the upper left corner of the area is 50, the vertical coordinate is 80, the horizontal length of the area is 380,
The vertical length 300 is displayed on the display device (ST-8).

Next, when the ordinate of the upper left corner of the area is 100 and the horizontal length of the area is 400, the ordinate of the upper left corner of the area is changed from 80 to 100, and the horizontal length of the area is changed from 380 to 100. 400 (ST-10). FIG. 3 shows the positional relationship between the paper surface and the area before the change, and FIG. 4 shows the positional relationship between the paper surface and the area after the change.

That is, the formatting command processing unit 8 operates the processing execution unit 9 based on the command stored in the command decoding data storage unit 7. In the processing execution section 9, the area creation section 10 first operates, determines the area in which the manuscript data is to be typewritten according to the command stored in the command decoding data storage section 7, and displays the display processing section 15.
Outputs a command to display the area to be formatted. The display processing unit 15 causes the display device 3 to display the area to be typesetting according to the instruction from the area creation unit 10. Next, the data analysis section 12 operates, inputs manuscript data from the text data storage section 11, and performs typesetting processing within the area determined by the area creation section 10. The formatted data formatted by the data analysis section 12 is stored in the formatted data storage section 13 by the formatted data storage processing section 14 . Next, the display processing unit 15
