Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Object of the Invention (Industrial field of application) The present invention utilizes a window icon, a viewport icon, and a frame icon to create a compound document in which sentences, figures, images, etc. are mixed. Regarding a processing device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in editing a compound document composed of character code data, image data, graphic data, etc.,
There is a case in which a data group having various data attributes as described above is combined into one image as one piece of document data, and is stored or utilized. An example of this utilization is when printing a compound document as described above.

However, in synthesizing into one image, as shown in FIG. 4, document data exists on a certain paper surface C1 and, for example, I11 and I21 exist as two image data to assist the explanation of the content. In this case, the area sizes of I11 and I21 are arbitrarily determined by the correlation with each data on the paper surface C1.

However, if the size of the real image data corresponding to I11 is I1, and the size of the real image data corresponding to I21 is I2, then the image reduction operation is performed and I1 becomes I11, I2 is controlled to fit in I21. As a result, I11 is I1 and I21 is I2.
On the other hand, the image quality becomes poor.

Therefore, when I11 and I21 are combined on the paper C1 in a relative size with C1 and the image is handled on another device having a higher resolution, the image quality of the device having a lower resolution must be used.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, conventionally, when a composite image is handled on another device having a higher resolution, there is a disadvantage that the image quality of the device having a lower resolution must be used. It was

According to the present invention, in editing a compound document processing apparatus, a standard is set to high resolution data among several data having different resolutions, and high quality which is not affected by the display resolution of the display apparatus in the document editing process. The present invention provides a compound document processing device capable of creating the composite image data.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving Problems) The present invention relates to document data storage means for separately storing respective data such as character code data, image data, graphic data, and the stored data. The attribute information storage means for storing the attribute information including the expansion position and size and the resolution and the resolutions included in the attribute information of each of the composition target data stored in the attribute information storage means are compared with each other to obtain a specific resolution (for example, The highest resolution) is used as a reference resolution, and means for calculating a resolution magnification of the same data based on the resolution of the data to be combined with the reference resolution, and the resolution magnification are used for the above-mentioned composition stored in the attribute information storage means. And a means for determining the expanded size of the data to be combined by multiplying the size of the power data.

(Operation) At the time of synthesizing the data stored in the document data storage means, the resolutions of the synthesis target data stored in the attribute information storage means are compared with each other, and a certain specific resolution among them, for example, the highest resolution. Is defined as the standard resolution, and the resolution magnification of the same data is calculated based on the resolution of the data to be combined with the standard resolution. Then, the resolution magnification is multiplied by the size of the attribute information corresponding to the data to be combined to determine the expanded size of the data to be combined.
An area in the virtual document is secured based on the determined expansion size, and the combined data is imaged and expanded in the area.

As described above, among the various data forming the compound document, the data having a certain specific resolution, for example, the data having the highest resolution is used as the reference resolution, and each data to be combined is imaged and developed. It is possible to create high-quality composite image data that is not affected by the display resolution of the display device in the document editing process.
