Abstract
This display device includes a display and a controller. The controller provisionally places an object on a display area of the display, determines a display size of the object that allows the object to be contained within the display area by comparing a size of the object with a size of the display area, and renders the object in the display area using the thus determined display size of the object.
Claims8
A display device comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a controller, wherein
- the controller
- provisionally places an object with a non-display attribute on a display area of the display,
- determines a display size of the object, as measured in pixels on the display, that allows the object to be contained within the display area by comparing a size of the provisionally-placed object with a size of the display area, and
- renders, in pixels on the display, the provisionally-placed object in the display area using the determined display size of the object,
- wherein the object comprises a plurality of lines of character strings, and
- upon determining that a character size, in pixels, specified for the plurality of lines of character strings exceeds a height of the display area and reducing the specified character size allows the object to fit within the display area, the controller determines the size, in pixels, of the object by setting a width condensation ratio of the specified character size to a ratio between the specified character size and the reduced character size, such that the object fits within the display area using the specified character size as is.

A method for controlling a display device, the method comprising:
- provisionally placing, using a controller, an object with a non-display attribute on a display area of the display device;
- determining, using the controller, a display size of the object, as measured in pixels on the display device, that allows the object to be contained within the display area by comparing a size of the provisionally-placed object with a size of the display area;
- and
- rendering, in pixels on the display device, using the controller, the provisionally-placed object in the display area using the determined display size of the object,
- wherein the object comprises a plurality of lines of character strings, and
- upon determining, by the controller, that a character size, in pixels, specified for the plurality of lines of character strings exceeds a height of the display area and reducing the specified character size allows the object to fit within the display area, the controller determines the size, in pixels, of the object by setting a width condensation ratio of the specified character size to a ratio between the specified character size and the reduced character size, such that the object fits within the display area using the specified character size as is.
