Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides an information processing device such as a document creation device,
This is a character output method that allows you to output vertically oriented documents with a small increase in memory.

[Conventional technology]

Currently, in the Bunyo Seisakuso KL, for example, in the Word Pal series, when outputting a vertically written document, special character codes are set in advance for vertically written characters, and the input By converting the code of characters for vertical writing and outputting the characters corresponding to the converted character code, it is possible to output characters different from those of horizontal writing documents.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional technology has the problem of increasing the font data memory because it is necessary to have font data (7 ontology resources) for characters exclusively for vertical writing when the vertical writing characters and horizontal writing characters are different characters. Ta.

This problem becomes even more serious as the resolution of the output device becomes higher. For example, if a 128 x 12B dot character is used, each character requires 2048 bytes of memory.

An object of the present invention is to enable vertical text output by adding fewer font resources and increasing font data memory capacity.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above object is achieved by generating vertical type characters by rotating or moving horizontal type characters by 890 degrees among characters that conventionally require conversion from font type characters to vertical type characters.

[Effect]

By rotating or moving the horizontal text by 90 degrees and outputting the vertical text, the system does not need to have vertical text-specific character data, so it requires less memory and font resources than the conventional method. .

Furthermore, by providing a code conversion table for vertical writing characters, it is possible to easily select one of the four (/J) output methods by simply converting the code once.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a document creation device used to implement the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU), 2 is an input device for issuing operation instructions, 3 is an output device for outputting documents, 4 is font data 5. ! This memory includes a line character code conversion table 6, document data 7, document output control software 8, and the like.

Vertical composition using this device! Consider outputting I8.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a single character output processing operation in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 I shows the CPU
1 performs processing operations in accordance with document output control software stored in memory.

The document output control unit reads the document data and obtains character code data, and if vertical document output is instructed, the single character output unit software 9 performs the process shown in FIG. 1 in order to output characters. Perform the output processing operation according to the procedure. 0.1 character output begins by receiving the character code data (block 10) Q. First, it is determined whether the input character code is a non-kanji character (block 11) )0 This is because the lacrimal characters of the JIS 1st level and JISWJ2 level do not change whether they are in vertical or horizontal writing, and there is no need for code conversion. Therefore, in case of character strength other than non-kanji (well, the font corresponding to the input character code is displayed as is)
Block 15). On the other hand, if it is a non-kanji character, C
C performs code conversion using a code conversion table for vertical writing characters (block 12).

Example 8 of vertical writing character code conversion table 21! ! Shown in Figure 3. 40 to 45 are set with character codes after conversion. By referring to the table 21 at the position corresponding to the input character code 20, the converted code 22 can be obtained. The character code set in the table after conversion does not change from the input character code, but f/J (3
There are some that change from 0 to 50).

Examples of things that change include those that have other character codes set (31→41→51) and those that have flags set. For example, the rotated character code is f f f
If f, the movement character code is fffe, ffff is set in the table corresponding to the character code that rotates and outputs horizontal characters when outputting vertical characters, and fffe is set for characters that are moved and output. It is set.

Consider using this table to output vertical text. If the same character is output in both horizontal and vertical writing, the character code after conversion is the same. Therefore, both characters corresponding to the input character code are displayed as they are (Bronze 17). Also, code conversion occurs for characters that differ between horizontal and vertical writing.

Characters that can generate vertical type characters by rotating horizontal type characters, such as 1011 in Fig. 2.
Characters like this (1D5 is a horizontal type character.

As for 106 (vertical, set characters), a separately divided rotated character code is stored as converted data. Therefore, if it is determined that the character code after conversion is a rotated character code (block 13), the font corresponding to the input character code before conversion is read and the character i is rotated by 90' and output ( Block 15)
.

Also, characters that can generate vertical type characters by moving and outputting horizontal type characters, such as those shown in Figure 2, 102 (107 is a horizontal type character, 108 is a vertical type character), are also specially allocated. It is assumed that the converted character code is stored in the table as converted data. Therefore, if the post-conversion code is determined to be a moving character code (
Block 14) 1 This moves and outputs the phono) f read character corresponding to the input character code before conversion (Block 16) Moves horizontal type characters below 0 to generate vertical type characters. An example of a method for doing so is shown below. Figure 5 110
As shown in , the character ω body size for moving output is bxsize , bysize , and the letter size is x
size, ysize The distance from the lower left edge of the body to the lower left edge of the letter is Xl.

Let it be yl. When converting this character into a vertical type character, change the position of the letter from the upper right corner of the body to the distance 1ifi from y2. In the case of X2, a character is generated by moving the position f where y2=x1 and x2=y1. From this, it is possible to output characters without changing the output position i. Of course, vertical type characters may be output by moving the output position of horizontal type characters, as shown in FIG. 5 1201.

Finally, see Figure 2 100 (characters that cannot be output by rotating or moving horizontal type characters, as shown here).
103 is a horizontal type character, 104 is a vertical type character) is special (assuming that the am-specific character code assigned to this is set to chiful). Therefore, after conversion, the character corresponding to the character code number is output ( Block 17).

In addition, characters or graphic symbols as shown in FIG. 2 100 can also be changed by performing the rotation process K once as shown in FIG. Vertical type characters 134 that are almost the same as the vertical type characters 104 shown in FIG. 2 can be obtained. In addition, first perform inversion processing H, and further ζ rotation processing of the inverted character 152. is obtained, and the same result is obtained even if image processing is performed on f and 4 times (inverted by − degrees).

This embodiment (according to this example, by maximizing the use of horizontal type characters, it is possible to reduce the font data memory and easily select the character output method to output vertical type characters. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention (in the past, it was possible to avoid using some of the characters for which font resources had to be prepared as characters exclusively for vertical writing, and only G was used).The amount of work required to create IJ sources and This has the effect of reducing font data memory.
