Abstract
Provided are a character display apparatus, a character display method and computer readable medium storing a character display program that are capable of automatically avoiding a handwriting character being illegible during input of the character. Based on trajectory data of a handwriting character, detecting an overlap between lines to be drawn during drawing, to determine presence/absence of an illegible part. If it is determined that an illegible part is present, the thickness of the handwriting character is automatically selected again to be thinner and the image of the handwriting character is drawn again, which avoids illegible part occurring in the handwriting character without inputting the character all over again.
Claims8
A character display apparatus, comprising:
- an acceptance unit sequentially accepting trajectory data of a handwriting character;
- a drawing unit drawing an image of a handwriting character with a preset thickness based on the trajectory data accepted by the acceptance unit;
- a display unit displaying the image of the handwriting character drawn by the drawing unit;
- a determination unit determining presence/absence of an illegible part in the image of the handwriting character drawn by the drawing unit;
- a change unit changing a thickness of a handwriting character to be drawn subsequently by the drawing unit to be thinner, when the determination unit determines that an illegible part is present in the image;
- and
- a re-drawing unit drawing again an already-drawn portion of the image of the handwriting character with a thickness after change.
A character display method for displaying a character on a computer comprising an acceptance unit sequentially accepting trajectory data of a handwriting character and a display unit displaying a drawn image of a handwriting character, comprising the steps of:
- drawing an image of a handwriting character with a preset thickness based on the trajectory data accepted by the acceptance unit;
- making the display unit display the drawn image of the handwriting character;
- determining presence/absence of an illegible part in the drawn image of the handwriting character;
- changing a thickness of a handwriting character to be drawn subsequently to be thinner, when determined that an illegible part is present in the image;
- drawing again an already-drawn portion of the image of the handwriting character with the thickness after change;
- and
- making the display unit display an image of the handwriting character which is drawn again.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program causing a computer to draw an image of a handwriting character, the computer comprising an acceptance unit sequentially accepting trajectory data of a handwriting character and a display unit displaying a drawn image of a handwriting character, the computer program comprise the steps of
- drawing an image of a handwriting character with a preset thickness based on the trajectory data accepted by the acceptance unit;
- making the display unit display the drawn image of the handwriting character;
- determining presence/absence of an illegible part in the drawn image of the handwriting character;
- changing a thickness of a handwriting character to be drawn subsequently to be thinner, when determined that an illegible part is present in the image;
- drawing again an already-drawn portion of the image of the handwriting character with the thickness after change;
- and
- making the display unit display an image of the handwriting character which is drawn again.
