Method and apparatus for converting form describing mode

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for converting a format description mode, which is used for realizing the conversion of a form from a tiled type description format to a nested type description format. The method comprises the following steps: according to the tiled type description format corresponding to the form, the column width of each basic column, the row height of each basic row and matrix information of each basic grid in the form are determined; according to the matrix information of each basic grid, the number of the basic row contained in each form row and the number of the basic column contained in each form column are determined; according to the row height of each basic row and the column width of each basic column, the row height of each form row and the column width of each form column in the form are obtained; and the row height of each form row and the column width of each form column are recorded through the nested type description. The invention also discloses a device for converting the form description mode.

Description

Method and device for converting table description mode Technical field The present invention relates to the technical field of printing and typesetting, and in particular to a method and device for converting table description modes. Background technique At present, in printing and typesetting, various types of typesetting software have different description formats for tables, and there are usually two types of table description formats: tiled and nested. The tiled description format mainly describes the structure of the entire table by recording the horizontal and vertical merged data of the basic grid of the table, as well as the row height and column width of the basic grid; the nested description format divides the table into tables After rows and table columns, a nested form is used to describe the structure of the table. At present, some company's typesetting software describes the table in a flat description format, and some company's typesetting software describes a...

Therefore, it is an important task for typesetting software to be compatible with other graphic editing software files. In the process of file format compatibility, the conversion of table description formats has always been a technical problem. It is difficult for existing typesetting software to convert tables into Convert from flat description format to nested description format
