Abstract
A display apparatus includes circuitry to receive a handwriting input within a frame of a line displayed on a display. The handwriting input is corresponding to a part of a character string including one or more characters. The circuitry obtains, based on the handwriting input, a character size. The circuitry expands the frame in a direction of the handwriting input, based on the character size and space currently being left between the handwriting input and a side of the frame in the direction of the handwriting input to receive another handwriting input.
Claims20
A display apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive a handwriting input within a frame of line displayed on a display, the handwriting input corresponding to a part of a character string including one or more characters;
- obtain, based on the handwriting input, a character size indicating a maximum width and a maximum height of the one or more characters in the character string;
- determine whether the character size is greater than a space size in a direction of the handwriting input, the space size being a size of a space currently being left between the handwriting input and a side of the frame in the direction of the handwriting input to receive another handwriting input;
- and
- expand, in a case that the character size is determined to be greater than the space size, the frame by at least a size corresponding to the character size in the direction of the handwriting input, wherein
- in a case that the direction of the handwriting input corresponds to a width direction of the character string, the circuitry determines whether the character size is greater than the space size based on the maximum width indicated by the character size, and
- in a case that the direction of the handwriting input corresponds to a height direction of the character string, the circuitry determines whether the character size is greater than the space size based on the maximum height indicated by the character size.

A display method, comprising:
- receiving a handwriting input within a frame of line displayed on a display, the handwriting input corresponding to a part of a character string including one or more characters;
- obtaining, based on the handwriting input, a character size indicating a maximum width and a maximum height of the one or more characters in the character string;
- determining whether the character size is greater than a space size in a direction of the handwriting input, the space size being a size of a space currently being left between the handwriting input and a side of the frame in the direction of the handwriting input to receive another handwriting input;
- and
- expanding, in a case that the character size is determined to be greater than the space size, the frame by at least a size corresponding to the character size in the direction of the handwriting input, wherein
- in a case that the direction of the handwriting input corresponds to a width direction of the character string, the determining whether the character size is greater than the space size is based on the maximum width indicated by the character size, and
- in a case that the direction of the handwriting input corresponds to a height direction of the character string, the determining whether the character size is greater than the space size is based on the maximum height indicated by the character size.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a process comprising:
- receiving a handwriting input within a frame of line displayed on a display, the handwriting input corresponding to a part of a character string including one or more characters;
- obtaining, based on the handwriting input, a character size indicating a maximum width and a maximum height of the one or more characters in the character string;
- determining whether the character size is greater than a space size in a direction of the handwriting input, the space size being a size of a space currently being left between the handwriting input and a side of the frame in the direction of the handwriting input to receive another handwriting input;
- and
- expanding, in a case that the character size is determined to be greater than the space size, the frame by at least a size corresponding to the character size in the direction of the handwriting input, wherein
- in a case that the direction of the handwriting input corresponds to a width direction of the character string, the determining whether the character size is greater than the space size is based on the maximum width indicated by the character size, and
- in a case that the direction of the handwriting input corresponds to a height direction of the character string, the determining whether the character size is greater than the space size is based on the maximum height indicated by the character size.
