Abstract

PURPOSE:To freely enlarge and reduce the size of a form area and at the same time to improve the form efficiency by providing an area changing degree calculating part and an area changing part so that the form area are optionally changed vertically in accordance with the scale of the form data. CONSTITUTION:The change is needed for the size of a form area since the form data is larger or smaller than a form area produced previously. In such a case, a form command processing part 6 actuates an area changing degree calculating part 15 to calculate the enlarging or reducing value of the form area and then actuates an area changing part 14. The part 14 enlarges or reduces the form area vertically or in the direction where the positions of other areas are not changed based on a command given from the part 6. Thus the form efficiency is improved for the forming with an uncertain size of the original data.

Next, the operation will be explained. First, a command for formatting the manuscript data stored in the text data storage section 9 is sent to the input device 1.
When inputted from , the command decoding section 4 decodes the formatting instruction command and stores the decoding result in the command decoding data storage section 5 . Next, the first typesetting command processing unit 6 operates the processing execution unit 7 based on the command stored in the command decoding data storage unit 5.

Therefore, in the processing execution section 7, the area creation section 8 first operates, determines the area in which the manuscript data should be typewritten according to the command stored in the command decoding data storage section 5, and then the display processing section 13
Outputs a command to display the area to be formatted. The display processing section 13 causes the display device 2 to display the area to be typesetting according to the command from the area creation section 8. Next, data analysis section 1
0 is activated, manuscript data is input from the text data storage section 9, and the area creation section 8 performs typesetting processing within the determined area. Formatted data formatted by the data analysis section 10 is stored in the formatted data storage section 11 by the formatted data storage processing section 12 . Next, the display processing section 13 retrieves the forme data stored in the forme data storage section 11 and causes the display device 2 to display it as a forme result.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional typesetting systems are configured as described above, so when performing typesetting processing, the area to be typewritten must first be determined, and the size of the manuscript data to be typewritten in the corresponding area is not determined. There is a problem in that it is difficult to know how large a typesetting area should be created if the formatting area is unclear or unclear.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a typesetting system that can freely enlarge or reduce the size of a previously created typesetting area according to the size of typesetting data. The purpose is to obtain.

[Means for solving problems]

The typesetting system according to the present invention compares the size of typesetting data and the size of the typesetting area, and calculates the amount of area change to determine the amount of expansion or reduction of the area when it is necessary to change the area. and an area changing section that enlarges or reduces the forme type area based on the amount of enlargement and the amount of reduction determined by the area change amount calculation section.

[Effect]

The typesetting system in this invention compares the size of the created typesetting area and the size of the actually typewritten typesetting data, and when there is a difference in position between the two areas, the difference area change amount calculation unit calculates the size. Then, the area changing unit changes the size of the formatting area by the difference.

〔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. 4 are indicated by the same reference numerals. In FIG. Section 15 is an area change amount calculation section that compares the size of the formesetting area with the formesetting result to determine the amount of enlargement or reduction of the formeography area.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. First, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a program stored in the formatting command processing unit 6, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of the area, manuscript data, and formatting data during processing of the present invention.

First, as a preparation before performing typesetting processing, a typesetting area as shown in FIG. 3(a) is created by the area creating section 8 in the processing execution section 7, and the manuscript data as shown in FIG. 3(b) is created. Prepare. Therefore, in the typesetting area shown in FIG. 3(a), A0→B.

The typesetting process is performed in the order of →Co→D0, as shown in Figure 3(b).
Regarding the manuscript data shown in No. 1, data 80 to D4 are A shown in FIG. 3(a). - It is assumed that the formatting process is performed on each formatting area of Do.

That is, when a formatting instruction command is input from the human-powered device 1, the manuscript data A1 stored in the text data storage section 9 is placed in the formatting area A as in the conventional case. (2nd
At this time, IjK draft data A
The typesetting data obtained by typesetting 1 is typesetting area A,
Because it is larger than , it is not possible to fit it all into the typesetting area (Figure 3 (C)).

Next, the formatting command processing section 6 determines that the cause of the termination of the formatting process is an area overflow (FIG. 2 - step 5T2), activates the area change amount calculation section 15 to calculate the amount of expansion of the formatting area, The area change unit 14 is activated (FIG. 2 - step ST3). Area change part 1
4 is a typesetting area A according to a command from the typesetting command processing section 6; Expand.

At this time, since area C6, which has already been positioned, exists immediately below area A, the direction of expansion is upward II'+7 (arrow direction A, D) so as not to move the position of area C0. (FIG. 2-Step ST5. FIG. 3(d)). With the above processing, the formatting processing for one area is completed.

Next is area B. , manuscript data B are also subjected to formatting processing in the same manner as described above. in this case.

Since the typesetting result area is smaller than area Bll (FIG. 3(e)), in this case, the typesetting command processing unit 6 operates the area change amount calculation unit 15 to calculate the area reduction piece. 5T4), the area changing unit 14 is activated to change the typesetting area in the reduction direction. At this time, at the same time as when area 80 is expanded, the upper part of the area is deleted so as not to change the position of the area D0 below. (Figure 3(f)).

Area C6, Area D. The same process as above is performed for areas C, D, and area A respectively. , Bo, the formatting area is enlarged or reduced in the downward direction as shown by the arrow AG (the third
Figure (g)).

In the above embodiment, when changing the typesetting area, the direction of enlargement or reduction is either upward or downward depending on whether there are other areas whose positions have already been determined above or below the area. However, this judgment may be abandoned and one-way direction may be set in advance as a convention during typesetting.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided an area change amount calculation unit and an area change amount calculation unit that can arbitrarily change the formatting area in the vertical direction according to the result of typesetting the manuscript data, and an area change amount calculation unit based on a command from the calculation unit. The typesetting system consists of a separate section, and even when typesetting manuscript data whose size is undefined or unclear, it is possible to perform the typesetting process once as in the past, and then use the result based on the typesetting process. This has the effect of greatly improving typesetting efficiency by eliminating the extra effort of configuring images in the typesetting area.
