Abstract
There is disclosed a document edit support device including: an object obtaining unit that obtains an object as data expressing at least one of a text and an image, which are included in a document as an edit target and are to be located in a layout area; a grid line obtaining unit that obtains a plurality of grid lines in the layout area; and a grid line selection unit that selects at least one of the plurality of grid lines selected by the grid line obtaining unit, so that a predetermined condition is satisfied by blank spaces which remain when the object obtained by the object obtaining unit is located along the selected at least one of the plurality of grid lines.
Claims7
A document edit support device comprising:
- a processor, and
- a memory operably connected to the processor, and storing a predetermined ratio, wherein
- the processor is configured to obtain an object as data expressing at least one of a text and an image, which are included in a document as an edit target and are to be located in a layout area;
- the processor is further configured to obtain a plurality of grid lines in the layout area;
- the processor is configured to select at least one of the obtained plurality of grid lines, so that a predetermined condition is satisfied by blank spaces which are left when the object obtained by the object obtaining unit is located along the selected at least one of the plurality of grid lines, and
- the predetermined condition is that, when the object is located along the selected grid line, a ratio between blank spaces respectively remaining in upward and downward directions from the object or in leftward and rightward directions from the object falls within a range which is determined in advance with reference to the predetermined ratio stored in the memory, wherein
- the predetermined ratio is 1:√2.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer device having a processor and a memory storing a predetermined ratio to execute a process, the process comprising:
- obtaining, by the processor, an object as data expressing at least one of a text and an image, which are included in a document as an edit target and are to be located in a layout area;
- obtaining, by the processor, a plurality of grid lines in the layout area;
- selecting, by the processor, at least one of the generated plurality of grid lines, so that a predetermined condition is satisfied by blank spaces which remain when the obtained object is located along the selected at least one of the plurality of grid lines, and
- the predetermined condition is that, when the object is located along the selected grid line, a ratio between blank spaces respectively remaining in upward and downward directions from the object or in leftward and rightward directions from the object falls within a range which is determined in advance with reference to the predetermined ratio stored in the memory, wherein
- the predetermined ratio is 1:√2.
