Layout adjustment method and apparatus and layout adjustment program
First Claim
1. A layout adjustment method of determining a layout of a page, comprising:
- a partial region setting step of setting a basic pattern of a size and position of a partial region in which data is to be inserted;
a calculation step of calculating, for each partial region, a size suitable for drawing the data to be inserted on the basis of the data to be inserted in the partial region set in the partial region setting step;
an adjustment step of adjusting the layout in the page on the basis of the size of each partial region calculated in the calculation step; and
a designation step of designating whether to zeroise the size when the data assigned to the partial region is empty, wherein in the adjustment step, when a partial region to which empty data are assigned is designated to zeroise the size of the partial region in the designation step, the layout in the page is adjusted while regarding the size of the partial region as zero.

Abstract
In determining the layout of a page on the basis of layout information representing the intra-page layout of a plurality of containers in which images based on assigned data are visually drawn, the layout information has designation information to designate whether to zeroise the container size when data assigned to the container is empty. In adjusting the layout, a container to which empty data is assigned is detected from the plurality of partial regions. It is determined whether designation information corresponding to the detected container is designation to zeroise the size. If zeroisation is designated, the layout of the page is adjusted while regarding the size of the detected container as zero.

9. A layout adjustment apparatus for determining a layout of a page, comprising:
-
a partial region setting unit configured to set a basic pattern of a size and position of a partial region in which data is to be inserted;
a calculation unit configured to calculate, for each partial region, a size suitable for drawing the data to be inserted on the basis of the data to be inserted in the partial region set by said partial region setting unit;
an adjustment unit configured to adjust the layout in the page on the basis of the size of each partial region calculated by said calculation unit; and
a designation unit configured to designate whether to zeroise the size when the data assigned to the partial region is empty, wherein when a partial region to which empty data are assigned is designated to zeroise the size of the partial region in said designation unit, said adjustment unit adjusts the layout in the page while regarding the size of the partial region as zero. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A control program which causes a computer to execute layout adjustment processing for determining a layout of a page, the layout adjustment processing comprising:
-
a partial region setting step of setting a basic pattern of a size and position of a partial region in which data is to be inserted;
a calculation step of calculating, for each partial region, a size suitable for drawing the data to be inserted on the basis of the data to be inserted in the partial region set in the partial region setting step;
an adjustment step of adjusting the layout in the page on the basis of the size of each partial region calculated in the calculation step; and
a designation step of designating whether to zeroise the size when the data assigned to the partial region is empty, wherein in the adjustment step, when a partial region to which empty data are assigned is designated to zeroise the size of the partial region in the designation step, the layout in the page is adjusted while regarding the size of the partial region as zero. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
