    摘要: A character generating method and apparatus which arrange a plurality of partial patterns constituting a character to the start positions of the partial patterns to generate a character pattern. A memory of the apparatus stores origin position data of the partial patterns firstly in a partial-pattern coordinate system, set by a character coordinate system, start position data of basic patterns in the partial-pattern coordinate system and shape data of the basic patterns. The origin position data of those individual partial patterns which constitute a desired character pattern and the start position data of those basic patterns which constitute the partial patterns are read out from the memory and the absolute start positions of the basic patterns are computed from the read origin position data and start position data in a character generating circuit of the apparatus, and the basic patterns, defined by the shape data, at the respective absolute start positions are arranged to generate the desired character pattern. The memory of the character generating apparatus is formed by a common file for storing origin position data of the partial patterns in a partial-pattern coordinate system, set by a character coordinate system, and start position data of the basic patterns in the partial-pattern coordinate system, and an individual file for storing shape data of the basic patterns.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for combining a character pattern of a first typeface with a character pattern of a second typeface to generate a character pattern of a third typeface, wherein searching for corresponding part patterns or contour points among part patterns constituting a character pattern of the first typeface and part patterns or contour points among part patterns constituting a character pattern of the second typeface is performed, based on identical code data affixed to the corresponding part patterns or contour points. The corresponding part patterns or contour points are combined to prepare part patterns or contour points of a character pattern of the third typeface. The apparatus has a typeface data memory having a first typeface file for storing individual part patterns of each character pattern of the first typeface with code data being affixed to the part patterns, and a second typeface memory for storing individual part patterns of each character pattern of the second typeface with the same code data affixed to the part patterns of the first typeface being affixed to corresponding part patterns of the each character pattern of the second typeface which correspond to the part patterns of the first typeface. A character processing circuit is provided for combining corresponding part patterns, affixed with the same code data to prepare part patterns of a character pattern of the third typeface.

    摘要: In a character generating method and apparatus for dividing each character pattern into a plurality of partial patterns, storing the partial patterns, selecting the proper partial patterns from the stored ones, and arranging the selected partial patterns at respective start points, a memory stores common start point data representing an absolute start point, common to corresponding partial patterns of a plurality of characters having the same arrangement of partial patterns constituting a character pattern, as coordinate values from a set origin, relative position data representing positions of the partial patterns of the plurality of characters from the common start points as relative positions, and shape data of the partial patterns, representing shapes of the patterns. The common start point data, the relative position data and the shape data are read out from the memory. The coordinate values of the absolute start points of the individual partial patterns are computed from the common start point data and the relative position data. The partial patterns having the shape matching the shape data are arranged at the coordinates of the absolute start points to generate a character pattern corresponding to the character code.
