Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for automatically adjusting the position and size of each object of an image mask to fit an image page, and the method is applied to an image mask. The image mask includes an object such as a frame, a figure and a text, and each object can change its position and dimensions on the image mask according to a predetermined variable or invariable attribute and a relative position attribute or absolute position attribute to automatically adjust its position and dimensions on the image mask to adapt the change of the image page, such that after the image mask is adjusted, the position and dimensions of each object still can meet a designer'"'"'s expected design style and artistic visual effect.

Claims

1. A method for automatically adjusting the position and size of each object of an image mask to fit an image page, applied to an application software, and said application software providing at least one image mask, and said image mask including a plurality of objects, and said method comprising:

presetting a variable attribute or an invariable attribute and a relative position attribute or an absolute position attribute for each object, such that when said variable attribute adjusts the dimensions of said each object according to the size of said image page, the shape of said object is permitted to be changed; and

when said invariable attribute adjusts the dimensions of said each object according to the size of said image page, the shape of said object is not permitted to be changed; and

when said relative position attribute adjusts the position of said each object according to the size of said image page, said object is permitted to be fixed at a relative position; and

when said absolute position attribute adjusts the position of said each object according to the size of said image page, a predetermined distance is maintained between said object and a standard reference point of said image page; and

attaching said image mask to a processing image page, and setting said each object to predetermined attributes if the size of said image mask is different from the size of said processing image page, so as to automatically adjust the position and dimensions of said image mask to fit the size of said processing image page and merge with said processing image page to produce a composed image.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said object includes a frame object, and said frame object is a frame having a hollow window for covering an unimportant scenery at edges of a desired processing image, such that a main body of said processing image can be exposed from said hollow window.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein said frame object is set with a variable attribute and a relative position attribute, such that the relative position and dimensions of said image mask can be adjusted automatically according to the change of aspect ratio of said image page.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein said object further includes a figure object, and said figure object is an object for decorating said frame object.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said figure object is set with an invariable attribute and an absolute position attribute, such that the dimensions of said figure object can be adjusted proportionally according to a dimensional change of the width or height of said image page, and a predetermined distance is maintained between said figure object and a standard reference point of said image page.

6. The method of claims 3, wherein said object further includes a text object for describing or expressing the meaning of said image mask.

7. The method of claims 5, wherein said object further includes a text object for describing or expressing the meaning of said image mask.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein said text object is set with an invariable attribute and a relative position attribute, such that the dimensions of said text object can be changed proportionally according to the width or height of said image page, and the relative position of said text object with respect to said image mask is adjusted.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein said text object is set with an invariable attribute and a relative position attribute, such that the dimensions of said text object can be changed proportionally according to the width or height of said image page, and the relative position of said text object with respect to said image mask is adjusted.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein said text object is set with an invariable attribute and an absolute position attribute, such that the dimensions of said text object can be changed proportionally according to the width or height of said image page, and a predetermined distance is maintained between said figure object and a standard reference point of said image page.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein said text object is set with an invariable attribute and an absolute position attribute, such that the dimensions of said text object can be changed proportionally according to the width or height of said image page, and a predetermined distance is maintained between said figure object and a standard reference point of said image page.
