Editing of a superblock data structure

Abstract: Improvements in an application composite eidtor for compound documents containing not only text but also graphics and tables facilitate the manipulation of object sets in the formatting algorithm The editor works with a page layout philosophy wherein data objects reside on the page and data resides in the data objects All pages reside within a document object, and some data objects may have additional objects within them Objects are data-specific entities that the user can manipulate on the page All objects exist within a specified boundary on the page, and this boundary is defined as an object set boundary Object sets may be moved into positions on the page such that more than one object set is occupying a single displayable are on the page Such an arrangement of objects creates a structure called a superblock A superblock is any displayable area containing two or more object sets positioned so that the object sets overlap one another, reside side-by-side or extend above or below one another A text object set may not be overlapped by any other object set Although the superblock is itself a complex structure, the creation of this structure by the editor greatly simplifies integration of different data types on the page for the user and allows the user to manipulate a group of object sets within a single displayable area on the page with relative ease Moreover, formatting of the document is facilitated by the editor since the superblock is treated as an object set without taking into consideration the complexity inside the superblock structure except when a page end decision must be made

Implicit creation of a superblock data structure

Abstract: An application composite editor for compound documents containing not only text but also graphics and tables to facilitate the manipulation of object sets in the formatting algorithm. The editor works with a page layout philosphy wherein data objects reside on the page and data resides in the data objects. All pages reside within a document object, and some data objects may have additional objects within them. Objects are data-specific entities that the user can manipulate on the page. All objects exist within a specified boundary on the page, and this boundary is defined as an object set boundary. Object sets may be moved into positions on the page such that more than one object set is occupying a single displayable area on the page. Such an arrangement of objects creates a structure called a superblock. A superblock is any displayable area containing two or more objects sets positioned so that the object sets overlap one another, reside side-by-side or extend above or below one another. A text object set may not be overlapped by any other object set. Although the superblock is itself a complex structure, the creation of this structure by the editor greatly simplifies integration of different data types on the page for the user and allows the user to manipulate a group of object sets within a single displayable area on the page with relative ease. Moreover, formatting of the document is facilitated by the editor since the superblock is treated as an object set without taking into consideration the complexity inside the superblock structure except when a page end decision must be made.

Attention to Magazine Ads as Function of Layout Design

Abstract: 1930s was almost half the number during the 1920's. This was probably a direct reflection upon the suppressed economic climate. The increase in the use of the comic strip technique during the 1930's (Table 2) might be interpreted as an attempt to increase the entertainment, or story telling, aspect of advertising. Furthermore, advertising's increased use of humor from the 1920s to the 1930s alludes to another possible social implication. Not only was the advertiser offering to sell products to financially burdened people, but he also seemed to be providing light, emotional relief from the increasingly somber times. To gain a broader understanding of the role that advertising assumes in society, further research is needed examining the historical relationship advertising has played. Through such research additional information can be added to present knowledge to provide future theoretical basis for the social implications of advertising.

Layout design supporting device

Abstract: PURPOSE: To improve the layout design processing efficiency by obtaining and displaying the information concerning the estimation of a layout in the process of a layout plan by a dialog processing. CONSTITUTION: First, position data 5, cost data 6 and object data 7 are fetched into a computer main body 2 in accordance with the procedure of a program 8 as initial data. After that, by noticing one or two objects out of layout objects in accordance with the procedure of the program 8, under the conditions of fixing others, the cost as the layout estimation value to the shifting of noticed objects is counted at a central arithmetic unit 4, and the shifting of the object and the changing quantity of the cost are obtained as a pair. After this, in the obtained result, the local shifting of the object of the layout and the change of the layout estimation value to it are outputted and displayed as a pair at an output device 3. The position data are renewed by a layout designer in accordance with the necessity. COPYRIGHT: (C)1986,JPO&Japio

The Channel Expansion Problem in Layout Design

Abstract: In order to develop an efficient method of routing channels in the layout design process, an algorithm which solves the channel expansion problem is presented. This algorithm guarantees the minimum number of rerouted channels with respect to a single channel in a given placement. In addition, examples are given to illustrate various aspects of the algorithm.

Interactive Compaction Router for VLSI Layout

Abstract: This paper describes an interactive router for compacting building block VLSI layout. It allows the designer to manipulate the functional block location on the CRT display without breaking interconnections between functional blocks. Following the movement of a functional block, it reroutes the wirings so as to retain interconnections with keeping the layout obeying design rules. The interactive compaction router provides an efficient tool to achieve a minimum chip area layout design.

Generation of page layout of chinese books and newspapers microprocessors

Abstract: Difficulties caused by raster output nature of laser system are overcome by hardware software integrated system design. The design method of such a system is discribed in this paper. Compressed Chinese fonts are stored hierarchically and the characters in current use are selected from the disc and transmitted to the local memory of character generator, therefore no access to font disc is required during the output of a whole book. A new method of describing page layout and a new technique of generating characters section by section are used. Am 2900 bipolar bit-slice microcomputer plays an important role in obtaining high generating speed at low cost.
